Just Listen.Please!Written by graham and julie
When did you last do that? When did you last listen to yourself? Is there a small voice inside you calling out “Just listen to me” Just listen. Please”. “All I want is for you to listen to me”. “ I am tired and fed up of continuing doing. Just stop for a moment and just listen. Please”.When was last time you sat down quietly with a cup of coffee and just listened to what is going on inside you. The small voice that wants to take care of you. Wants to make sure you are doing right thing. The small voice that wants you to succeed more than anything else, and also wants you to enjoy your success. Let’s do it now. Let’s just sit quietly and connect with that peaceful space within where you can listen to yourself. Just turn your eyes inside, look inside and go to your peaceful place. What do you see there? The mountains or ……the sea………..A sunset perhaps. ……. just relax ……..enjoy yourself there. Describe it to yourself……..What can you see? What sounds can you hear? How do you feel? Just let yourself experience this quiet place. Stay there as long as you can. Ignore thoughts that want you to hurry. Take your time. Just sit quietly in your ‘heaven’ your private, peaceful place. The more you practice going to your private peaceful place easier it will be for you to return as and when you need to during day. Because, peace is only a thought away. To gain maximum benefit you have to be able to go to that peaceful place whenever you need it. Whenever your small voice calls out; Listen to me. Please. In traffic jam, in car park, waiting for a bus or train,. In middle of a boisterous meeting. This is a tool to take care of yourself. To give you strength and power. To enable you to listen to yourself when world is determined to take you over and drain your batteries.

Today, as I write this, I am actually being a contradiction. In being myself, in doing what I do and mainly writing what I write. I was asking myself, as to, what was greatest plague that strikes humanity in 21st century and I found that its not AIDS nor any other Virus infected disease.It is rather a human virus. Yes a disease, root of which are humans. In a world characterized by breakthrough innovations, advancements at speed of thought, we are slow in combatting this disease. And truth is, it is crippling us, Human Race. What I am talking about, trying to describe, is infact greatest disease ever discovered, that which Mother Teresa of Calcutta, so rightly put, "Indifference". In a world where one is always challenged to outperform others to exist, one can but wonder whether indifference is really inevitable? One has to look after oneself, and in that process, one might be a little bit indifferent to others. But how much is little? We squirm & squirt when we see graphic images of atrocities in media, and next moment we are looking for 'more news'. We are slowly becoming immune to pain of others, and people are increasingly becoming just statistics. So what if 30 people are blown up in Iraq, there's supposed to be a war there, right? And about thousands dying of starvation in Africa, well that's UN's problem. Too much Bureaucracy. I recently watched a movie 'Beyond Borders', a very realistic portrayal of relief workers around world. As movie progressed, I went through a gamut of emotions, from pain to sadness to grief to anger. And I was incensed 'cause nobody was doing anything. The sad fact however is, all those feelings lasted for 48 hours only. Two days and I had gotten over movie. Life was back to normal. Coming back to what i started out with, I am contradicting myself....Big Time.
