The Odyssey, The Adventurer and The Labyrinth, (The business of knowledge; a win-win situation case scenario)

Some years back, on my way to the greatest journey on Earth, which is life, I noted that I have penetrated in a labyrinth. I kept on treading round and round. Everytime and then, after walking for some time, I saw the very same bonsai, without even realising for a moment that I was trapped in a viscous circle.

Doubts invaded me, which in turn gave a golden card invitation to fear. Without any sense of orientation, I failed to find the way out. The walls of the labyrinth were made of thorny plants, whereas the path was that of a treated green glass, which is as soft as cotton. I looked into the sky as a sign of a call and plea to GOD.

My misfortune was that the sun never set, but on the contrary, it was very dark, like the obscurity on a night when the moon has taken leave of the sky. I could barely see the sun, because of the thick cloud. Not even could a single ray of light could pity me and stealthily bring some light at the end of the tunnel, a ray of hope.

Forget about the Polar star, forget about the compass, my only way to get out of this nightmare was to pray GOD. Crying for help! I was all alone, like in a vast desert with only cactus here and there and my only companion was darkness. Giving up was not the solution to my problem. I closed my eyes, trying to recall the way out.

All of a sudden, coming from nowhere, a man appeared. He was shaved-head and was wearing a white cloth with a thin yellow border, like a Monk. His face was gleaming and he appeared to be living for 100 years, yet his face was wrinkleless. He came towards me and like a Leader he only said 3 words 'Follow Me Son'.

P.S Whatever situation you are today, you will not stay in this very position all your life; provided that you never give up and you believe in yourself and you cultivate a positive and calm mind. Being a blessing in disguised, darkness is the only way to help you in seeing light and this is the nature of life.

Be a source of your own motivation, bury negation and give birth to solution and welcome satisfaction. Never surrender yourself to abandonment! A constant cultivation of the land makes the soil fertile and productive, which will in turn gives the planter juicy fruits or fresh vegetables. You nourish the mind and the enlightened mind contribute to your success.

It is the business of knowledge, where only a win-win situation exists!
