LOCKDOWN-BLESSING IN DISGUISE

LOCKDOWN-BLESSING IN DISGUISE

There is an old adage, every coin has two sides. For all its disadvantages, “LOCKDOWN” is a double edged sword. There is no gain saying that life has stranded, but how can we ignore other side of the coin. I term it as blessing in disguise. People realized it but rarely any one is talking about. I know it sounds bizarre, but it is a hard fact. 

We all are making hue and cry over CORONA Virus COVID 19, but how it is possible that no one has noticed whooping atmospheric change, incessant ecological and environmental modifications. Nature has restored itself. The Planet Earth is repairing and healing. Clean open sky, pure air, crystal clear rivers, chirping of birds, no pollution and serenity. All must agree nature is at its youth (best). 

In the hustle bustle of life, human being has lost his connect with himself, family, nature & life. We were in a mad race to overtake each other to accumulate every material possession at the cost of everything. We hardly had any time to reflect on ourselves & what is happening in our children life. Now, due to LOCKDOWN, relationships have got more cemented, we are becoming more familiar about ourselves and our loving ones. People started practicing effective health and hygiene habits, get involved into various daily chores, families are spending more time together. People acquired various social, moral, spiritual and ethical values during this span of social isolation. There are revolutionary changes in our life style may be temporarily due to social distancing.

Ubiquitous Almighty God has his own scheme to operate the life so we should happily surrender and accept its decisions. In Bhagavad Gita, Deity Krishana ji remarked that I am the Supreme power, everything has originated from me. I am the creator of everything. Every creature is part of me and I am in every creature. Therefore, we all are the children of GOD. Then how it is possible that parents will harm their offspring’s. Even in their wildest dreams they can never think adversely for their children.  Hence, whatever happens, it happens for good. 

In nutshell, nature has replenished, we reinvented the art of living, humans rejuvenated, people of every age group upskilled themselves, values and ethos like tranquility, compassion, togetherness are acquired. No doubt this is biggest ever economic turmoil and financial crunch after 1930 world depression, but who is to be blamed for it, ultimately human being, some or other way our insatiable greed has brought us to the brink of annihilation. There are infinite lessons to learn. Almighty God has once again proved that man is not mightier than him. 

Nevertheless, let’s not give up, there is always silver lining beyond the clouds. We will triumph over this CORONA shortly. Till the time Stay Healthy Stay Happy!
