She was depressed and crying. At the age of 55, she felt everyone avoided her. Her husband was with her but he would talk to her only the required. Her son would not like to spend time with her. Eventually her friends left her too. She wondered what caused this? Why everyone avoided her? Why some people have so much love and some have none?
So she asked her son and husband that why they do not spend time with her? They looked at each other and finally her husband said that whenever she spoke she spoke negative. When they sit with her, they get up stressed. Either she is talking bad about some friend, servant or anyone. They have never heard some good things from her. She wanted to speak and defend but held back. However, she sat and went over last few conversations. She realized, she did not have a positive conversation in a long time. And she wanted everyone to hear and accept her negativity. So wondered how she would treat someone, if someone did same to her. She would avoid and that is what everyone was doing.
So she had to start spreading the positivity but how. So she discussed and realized, love is light and everyone wants love. So she decided to be more loving and she wondered how? So she sat with her son, held his hand and asked him what was happening. She wondered he did not avoid her. HE sat with her too and shared his things and that day they chatted for hours. She tried striking a conversation with her servant and her maid also spoke to her a lot. She offered compassion and got company. On the road, she tried helping people and she realized she received so many blessings. She met everyone with smile and she got many smiles back. She wondered if all the time, she was doing everything wrong? She felt earlier that she had more money and she was better than others. But then she realized that she lacked light. And people could see the darkness and stayed away. When she gave way to light, she felt more warmth in her life.
We all need to know this. Every soul wants to move towards light. We do not like to be in dark. If with someone we sense light we get attracted there. If we sense absence of light, we stay away. We do not like to step into a dark room. Sp spread your light!
