The daylight coming in from the windows, mesmerizing silvery clouds and the feel of peace. A soul-touching view from the mirror of an air-conditioned bus wasn’t that satisfying for me. The true essence of nature can only be felt by heart. No matter how much you try to control your desire, you end up in the bosom of Mother Nature. Honestly, nature has always left me stunned by its beauty, but what was unknown at that time, was the beauty that humans possess. I can still relate to the time when I found the direct connection with those unknown rocks, the navy blue sky and the eminent peaks near the Ab-i-Gum railway station. Never did I have been a believer in such a peaceful environment. The soul-touching beauty of the unknown. There I saw a little girl trying to make way up to the bench and the way she was struggling made me wonder about the time when I was a kid. At that moment, it was understood that life is a journey of ups and downs. The little girl proved to be my mentor in a few seconds. While I was just thinking to help her out, instantly, I saw some people helping her out to get to the top and that made me feel the awe inspiring quality we have to be there when someone needs us. All of us have people who have helped us out in our difficult times and to appreciate them back is the definition of life. Isn’t it inspiring what a little girl can teach you? She thanked them and that smile she carried was the unknown depth of being human. At the very next moment I felt like the time was passing very quickly. It felt like I lived years in some minutes of my life. However, that was just the beginning. There, I also saw some goats. Maybe they were hungry or maybe they looked hungry, but no matter what was the case, a lady fed them leftover of her fruits. Those memories actually made me look back when I was not able to find enough money to feed a poor person who arrived on my door. I realized, was it about the money or was it my heart that was not ready give. There are always some options if we really want to do something. We have to make it happen in spite of just giving up in between. Maybe I could have searched a little more or otherwise gave him a part of my own food. The peace and serenity with this incredible match of generosity was unknown to me for years. I longed to see people helping out each other but these scenarios were etched on my mind. Making me reflect back upon my acts over the years and until now I can relate to them as if they happened yesterday. As soon as I moved to the other part of the station the mesmerizing winds crossing my ears to make me a little shy of myself and at the same moment I found this place called as a mosque. I have always wished to be obedient to the lord, but was I actually obedient enough? I realized what can be better to provide a safe place to pray to the people in between the barren lands and those thorny bushes. Was is necessary to remember God? “Yes”, rapidly my mind replied. I also saw some people washing their faces and sitting for a while in that mosque. Truthfully, it feels wonderful when someone makes a shelter for others. Isn’t a safe place to hide all that we want in our lives? That “Yes” came again. After all, how much we care for others must be reflected from our acts. If we really care for others, we must be sacrificing and showing them without any doubts that we love them. Harmony and peace are some basic needs for the humans which eventually have become unknown to us. Spreading love and expecting same is all that we need as a best of creation. Maybe it is becoming rare but what can be done individually only needs constant efforts.
