How do we look at each day? My granddaughter who lives in America is learning Spanish. Now my granddaughter’s class was asked to choose a month for 2024 and make a date sheet in Spanish. She shared her sheet with us and there were ten days dedicated to different things. Just a few days ago it was the International Smile Day. Please smile all day. Why are we remembering so many days?

Is it not possible for us to be kind, truthful and compassionate daily. Because it is smiling day today, do we forget to smile tomorrow and the day after? Do we need to be jostled to remind ourselves of what we have been taught by our parents and teachers?

If we remain aware of our breath, then we will not forget anyone of these days. We will be conscious of our actions and would be respectful of the elements, earth, water, fire, air and ether. That is not happening we are ruthless in exploitation of the oceans, forests, land and mountains. If we only followed the path of Dharma (inner wisdom that governs not only the individual but the universe) we would be engaged in restoring and rescuing Prithvi (earth) to her pristine glory.

What if my dear ones, we wake up daily, following the inner guidance with sensitivity to all living creatures and try our best not to be hateful and hurtful, we would be honoring each day and all of God’s creations.

Celebrate 365 days a year.
