Do not let the child grow D o you remember the wide eyed kid that you were many years back? Those absolutely carefree times when you discovered a new thing or two at every nook or corner. Remember the first time you saw heavy rains and wondered from where so much water coming from. Or the first time you saw water logging in streets and longed to jump in that filthy water Or the first time you saw a rainbow and kept gazing at it. The first time you saw a skyfull of stars and kept bothering your dad or mom to explain those twinkling sources of light. The first time you saw a butterfly and were so excited to see so many colors together. The first time you discovered a touch-me-not plant in your backyard and were amused beyond words. Your days were laced with so many “firsts” and yet the “firsts” never seemed to tire you. Your infectious enthusiasm and energy never fell short of questions to ask from the elders.

What is the art of living ? What is that art which upholds life ? The art of living is not only doing courses or just doing anything. The art of living is simply this : It is finding that skill and ability to walk on the middle path. The middle path where you are neither an ascetic , nor a person drowned with materialism. Like a swan which swims in water without getting wet or like a lotus which shines in its beauty in mud, a human birth holds the infinite possibilities. The art of living is to unfold yourself, petal by petal ! When we can feel for someone's pain as our own yet we can remain unfazed and strong, we have learnt the art to some extent.
