Even the Hurricane Has a Heart

Violent, disastrous, ruthless, merciless Such words come to mind when one thinks of a hurricane Destroying anything and everything on its way Paying no care to the efforts and time invested in that reality Paying no care to the pain and adversity it leaves behind Intent to proclaim its superiority at the highest possible cost ...But even a hurricane in all its angered fury ...has a heart ...and a hurricane’s heart is usually so calm ...unperturbed by what is going on around it While its fury whirls around violently destroying ...right in the middle of it, the heart is calm and peaceful Times will certainly come as rain is bound to drop ...when you will be faced by many challenges ...and it will be like a hurricane has descended on you In such times, seek the heart of the hurricane ...be at the very centre of it, and you will be fine ...for even a hurricane obeys time Soon it will exhaust its rage ...and it will be reduced to a mere breeze ...incapable of harming even a twig All troubles are seasonal They may come with storms and thunder ...but soon they’ll be gone ...they’ll be reduced to mere references in the past Don’t take troubles as personal Just take them as the experiences of life from which you learn Each of us must pass through that class Question is... will you fail or will you pass the exams The key to passing is tolerance, patience, and understanding The greatest blessing in life is the MIND The heart is always weak and irrational ...thus it cannot be trusted to bring happiness that lasts Empower your mind and use it when in need When trouble persists, there is only one place to exist ...Ahead in your dreams Always think of tomorrow when it’ll all be gone And you’ll own as many happy feelings as your heart will want Never let your emotions tackle your problems Always call onto the three minds that govern all life Your Conscious Mind with which you think Your Subconscious Mind which turns your thoughts and dreams into reality And the Super Infinite Mind (God) that has no troubles of its own, ...and is always willing to help you triumph over yours ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dedication to my dear friend Andrea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
