For All Of You..

When a student is about to join a hostel, there are many questions that arise in his mind. First and foremost, how long do I have to stay over here? The student now accedes to the fact that he has no other go but to stay in the hostel for certain amount of time. Now having knowledge about how long he or she has to stay the student thinks how to make his life comfortable in the hostel. So he asks the pertaining questions:

Am I allowed to keep a cell phone? Whom can I meet? How is the food? How are the people there? Can I keep a walkman? Whom am I supposed to know for what?

All the above are the question pertaining to the facilities where as the sole purpose is to finish studies and move on. Without understanding the sole purpose the foolish student concentrates on somehow acquiring the various facilities required to make his life comfortable. When finally he finishes his studies and goes out and looks back upon his hostel days he will laugh at himself for pondering “the comforts” which were but trivial.

The friends in the hostel are the attachments that he develops which will be forgotten once he steps out of his hostel.

Drawing a parallel to the hostel life and life in the world. Human beings after attaining a little maturity realise that they have to stay on earth for a stipulated period. How long that depends on each individual? Having this knowledge that he has to stay for some time and then depart he know goes about trying to make his life as comfortable as possible. This is the prime cause of the desires and attachments. He forgets that his primary goal is to realize himself and thinks that his goal is to make his life as comfortable as possible. Unlike the student who finished his studies and looked back upon , I don’t think one can look back after living one’s life.
