People in this world perceive life in different ways. For the learned ascetics, there is no universe; everything is God. Some say that we are born to pay for our deeds and make our destiny. Life is perceived as a prison in which we are bound to endure happiness, sorrow, insults and praise as though we are a wooden stick being burnt in a fire.
On the other hand, to a devotee, this world is perceived as Vrindavan in which we have come to participate in a play and dance in a raas with the Lord. The lord has honoured us by including us in His team. Our life will continue as a celebration if we experience Shri Krishna to be with us at every moment and stage, be it a time of hardship or not.
Lead the journey of Life with God. Hold your head high against the troubles thrown to you by the world. Even when death arrives, say, “We are with Him”. So why not make every moment a festival? Like the Gopis, make the tears our wealth and a celebration too!
I feel that we should live our life with this faith. This Holi, let us all play with colours with Shri Krishna and make our life colourful as we experience joy and sorrow. We are in Shri Krishna’s team, we will succeed!
A very happy and colourful Holi to you all!
