STRESSED AT WORK
“”” STRESSED AT WORK “””
Just to
share my own thought on this
And to
all who feel stressed at work ….
Is it
really the work that brings stress ?????
???????????????????????
NO NOT
AT ALL .
As Swami
Rama Tirtha Answers in Vedanta about Intense work
“ Intense
work is Rest “
Learnt
from my own experience as below
Years
back ‘ when I was driving my car to office
taking heavy loads of stress in my mind thinking of the hectic schedule at the
office I have to face for the day, suddenly there was the traffic signal that
turned red at the junction .
My
vehicle was at rest but not my mind .
Suddenly I had a glance outside and that instance provoked me to a new
thought process .
There
were two old women sitting on the open
median of the road at the junction below the scorching open day light . Both of
them had a heap of jasmine buds before them. To my surprise they were very
enthusiastic and having witty conversations between them with no sign of stress
and yet their nimbling hands working with perfection to weave the jasmine buds
into a gigantic garland .
Had it
been myself in the same attire , probably I would had a bunch of stressful
thoughts looking at the heap of jasmine buds again and again ,
looking at the weaving pattern of the jasmine
garland whether it is coming perfect ,
along
with thoughts whether there will be prospective customers to buy the garlands
for the day ,
will I
reach home with my bread for the day , etc etc etc
Suddenly
there was a heavy horn heard from the back and I came to know the signal turned
green … and I had to start ..
But
there was a difference now ….I am driving my vehicle with peace and joy , no
stress…. no thoughts and just with a single thought of doing my work for the
day ..
I was
returning back from office with joy and stopped at the same junction , and
lowered the window glass , the two old women rushed towards my car as cheerful as they were in the morning with a great charming smile on their face hoping that
I will buy a length of jasmine garland .
I bought
a length and adorned to the Ganesh idol sitting in front of me , ( probably
silently enlightening me) . The cab was filled with the fragrance of fresh
jasmine instantly with few rupees.
But only
myself knew what fragrance of positive thoughts the old women gave me to my
mind not to be stressful at work , for
which I couldnot and cannot repay back her till now .
With Lots of Wishes Venugopal
Very Nice
ReplyDeleteNice venu but in my view life.,task is not that easy as weaving a garland and also not same for any two persons so the way they see it differs .
ReplyDeleteskill,approach,time ,need,are some of the factors that play an imp role in viewing a task and that also determines the stress level isn't it!
