Which activity should I give how much time ? it is difficult to decide in the present fast moving age. It depends upon how I have trained my heart. Do I convince it to avoid the temptations that are ultimately a hindrance in my soul's dream to become like my ideals. Just like parents have to give incentives to a child & keep a check on them till exams are over. The youth I am part of is more sense-able than me, but unfortunately if I go with the flow, I see my [spare] time spent in a way that is neither satisfying nor useful, physically, mentally or spiritually, for me or anyone dependent/related to me. Though 'the flow' does create temporary sparks of excitement in my heart, just like a child finds TV to be more interesting during exams.
The question is: IS it worth it ? Spending hours & hours on thinking, watching & discussing something that doesn't even bring any good to me or my family's future in at least this life, what to say of hereafter. Nature blesses a mind with wisdom & broadens one's perspective in the field on which one spends more & more time. Because we are usually good at what we usually practice. Are my hobbies contributing in my personality grooming ? Are my grand children going to know my youth to be quite different than that of our mutual IDEAL? Would they be able to look up to me as a humble follower of the ONE who they want to be like ? Is my Lord happy with my development, the way I let any present day fever take hold of me till the next fever arrives. That too in such a way that I hurriedly finish my meeting with my Lord and rush towards the TV every now and then ? (not to mention that I was mentally absent in the meeting at the first place).
Remove the unnecessary so that the necessary should speak
I know I am more words than actions, but doesn't every action starts with a painful urge, a wish that one mostly can't resist sharing with those who listen?
