When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Bhagavad Gita:“You have a right to perform your duty, but not to the fruits of your actions.”
When I was five, the world felt simple.The television flickered in the living room, filling the space with colors and sounds. I sat close, watching everything as if it mattered, as if every scene was real.
Outside, the day moved slowly.My mother would call me, and I would follow her. We walked side by side, going window shopping. I didn’t buy anything. I just looked. Bright clothes, shiny objects, people passing by.
I stayed close to her, quiet, observing.My father had already gone to work. His absence was part of the day, something I didn’t question. It was just the way things were.There was no rush. No need to become anything.
No need to prove anything.Just walking, watching, and being The television played. The shops passed by. My mother walked beside me.And I was there.
“When your mind has overcome confusion, you shall remain steady in the Self.” Bhagavad Gita
