Qualities of Water and Life’s attitude

Water is a life source. By merely adopting the qualities of water, one can ensure happy and peaceful life. The inherent qualities of water are a) coolness, b) purity, c) transparency, and d) continuous flow. Imbibe these qualities in life and you can aspire to have fulfillment.

Remain cool in favourable as well as in adverse circumstances. Just as waters of different rivers enter into an ocean, though ocean is full on all sides and remains undisturbed, likewise the human mind (which is an ocean of thoughts) should also remain calm and quite while confronting agreeable and disagreeable situations. Your peace of mind is your personal property, do not allow anyone to loot it.

Ensure purity in your thoughts, actions, behaviour and conduct. Water has the quality to transform itself into any colour it is put in to. Develop transparency in your character. Don’t be rigid, be flexible and you would pleasantly observe that you are an easily acceptable object in the Society. People would love to be friends with you and you would realize that you belong to the entire world and the entire world belongs to you – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

Water has the ability to change its course when it comes across obstacles – rocks in the mountainous regions, uneven surfaces on the earth – and finds it way. That is how our life ought to be. Life is a continuous flow of energy and must go on, if the human race has to progress. One should be able to change and adjust oneself to changing circumstances and situations. Obstinacy will only result in turbulence – anger, hostility, animosity, jealousy, so on and so forth, which is not the purpose of our life.
