Who is Driving your Rickshaw?

Have you ever taken a rickshaws ride in India?

Going from ‘A’ to ‘B’ is quite a journey of dodging and diving, cutting corners and jumping the bumps until finally the destination is reached. The passengers alight shaken and shocked – just happy to have managed to hold on.

I am the driver and also the passenger of my rickshaw, this body. Each day I do many trips from ‘A’ to ‘B’ and then back again. But how was the journey and is the passenger ok? Am I happy and enjoying the ride, shaken or hurt; is there pain or am I comfortably safe?

If I forget that I am the passenger in this rickshaw, then I will also forget the importance in the quality of the journey. I will focus only on the destination to be reached.

Drive slowly and enjoy the ride. Drive safely avoiding accidents by keeping those vices at bay. Observe the side scenes without getting off and being stuck along the way.

Drive slowly, drive safely and you will enjoy the journey.

 

Om Shanti
