spiritual enlightenment
I am addicted to reading newspaper early morning. I take as much as 30-45 minutes in reading. I am not the type who make cursory glance on main news and finish reading in 5 to 10 minutes.This habit of mine leaves me very little time to finish my other daily chores with the result I generally get late in meeting people. My wife sometimes hides the newspaper so that I don't waste time in reading it which is the main cause of my embarassment. If for any reason, I can't finish reading it in the morning, I make sure that I read it in the evening. I always make it a point to read spiritual coloumn which appears on the same page in which editorial colomn comes. Last week, I came across an article written by a young Muslim boy who happened to be a student of Class X. I can't recall his name. Kids of this age are generally mischievious. They are more inclined towards sports, Music, Dance etc. They don't have the experience and maturity to understand spiritualism. But this boy was exceptional. His depth of understanding, clarity of thought was superb. Even his command over English language was amazing. The article was written with such finesse that I would not have known his age had it not been disclosed in fine prints at the end of article. The article was more a narration of his own spiritual feelings on a day to day basis rather than a spiritual discourse. I was truly delighted to read his article. He had such saintly thoughts at the tender age that I have no words to describe it. It was an unusual experience for me. I express my gratitude to Times of India for publishing his article and enlightening people like me.
