Tying and Untying Knots

Hello,

I am feeling good that I am writing for the second day in succession.

One feedback I received on my yesterday's post was that

Half of our life spent in tying knots, rest in untying. Any way 'Life is like that.'

Is life really like that? I thought about it for a while and a new perspective emerged.

To me it indicates that the first half is spent on tying the knots. Since that is the time when humans have the peak of energy, the effort made in tying the knots is also extraordinary. Therefore, the knots are also a bit too tight. In the peak of energy, we are able to:

ignore them,

dismiss them,

overlook them,

discount them, and so on. But hardly make an attempt to open them.

However, life continues to inch forward. The same knots start becoming bothersome when we find ourselves in the midst of

poor health,

mental imbalance,

broken relationships,

stuck career, and so on.

Now we start noticing those knots. Now we want to open them all.

Do we have the energy? Do we have the skills required?

With the passage of time, energy levels start dipping. We also notice that we also lack the skills required. The reason for lack of skills is that we never made the attempt to learn them in the first place.

Does it mean that those knots will never open? I never said that. What it requires is:

A strong willingness to open them &

A readiness to work on oneself.

Because the knots are inside us and only we have access to open them.

Wishing you love and life,

Vikram
