The other day someone was saying “how can I bear this pain?
I no longer want to live..want to end this life.”
I asked her “Do You remember going to your school?

Some teachers were very strict, they might have thrashed
you, rebuked you, and punished you, Right?”
If you were an obedient student, you would have not gone
through this, but someone from your class might have certainly gone through
this.
You would have many times felt like quitting the school or
bunking the class.
But it didn’t mean
you hated going to school. There were some lectures which you would have loved
and some teachers you loved to learn from. And they might have been your
favourites.
You might have tried to be perfect after they punished u,
you learnt, improved but for good.
You feel good and it’s an achievement you successfully
finished with schooling.”
The same way this world is a school.
When you face tough teachers in life, you do not run away
from them.
Instead, find out, why?
What is that needs to be changed in you, what is that almighty expects
from you.
You may say there were some teachers who misunderstood you
and thrashed you without your mistake then I would say search for the reason
why is it so, your answer will be instant. Listen to your conscience. It will be
always right.
May be you are not wrong, but god wants to show you some
similar situation where you were the thrasher, or he wants to teach you the
lesson of forgiveness, or you were judgemental.
If any of this doesn’t hold true for you, then great, dive
deeper- this is what your life is for. Exploring..
Explore within you…when you do not get reasonable answers
outside.
Explore till you finish with this schooling and come out
with flying colors, instead of running away.
