Inner Vision ~ light in darkness

I saw this (very) young couple named Aaru and Dilip in one of my weekly meditation circle where I could not realise (unless akudidi told me)  that they are having more than 80% visual impairment. When we finished our one hour silent meditation circle and it was time of round of reflection, Dilip talked about how we can cultivate oneness with the God and how beautiful life is and he shared some shlokas of Bhagvad Geeta and kept on talking about philosophy of life and how jainism changed his perception. Both of them are living a routine life with minimal earnings, they are eager to work on different projects, they are travelling most of the time through public transport within city area, participates in many religious- spiritual - leisure activities and overcoming daily challenges and still waiting for another better day...

... it has been months, since I met them. But their smile is contagious. Their aura vibes are pure. They show fearlessness and courage to stand and make their existence count like this. Aaru told beautifully that either we crib about our situation and hardships OR we carry courage in our heart and find ways and opportunities to live life in a nicer way with whatever minimal we have. While interacting with them, I realised they dont want any sympathy or special treatment from we "normal" abled people. I also realised that they are more than excited about everything because that is what human being is all about. I also came to know that if any family helps them with any of the resources, they welcome that help with big heart and express gratitude by being humble.  Also, it is the human being who has a special tendency of sharing small joys and enjoying moments of leisure and happiness and humans also have the tendency to throw tantrums and get angry if the expectations are not fulfilled. I am sure Aaru and Dilip also might be getting frsutrated with their vision but I believe there is a "sparkling light" within, which might be guiding them throughout the day. The light of soul, the light of atma... hats off to this duo who made me realised that because we are born as human being, it is our responsibility to live life mindfully and joyfully. Hope their inner light help them to live the coming years beautifully.
