Two days ago few of us planned to visit one friend who isnt able to meet us these days for health reasons. Me and one more friend were on bike and rest few in the car that was following our bike for directions. This friend who was driving bike was taking extra care to make sure that car was following us. In between he would stop and also look back to see if car was on right track and behind us. He was trying to help the people in car this way. But one thing that I could observe was that we had narrow escapes from hitting some roadturns, and even once a person who came infront of the bike while both of us were looking back to see the car. At that moment I was in thoughts, " Wouldn't it be better if we look forward and help people in car using mobile, this way we would make sure we dont hit anyone or risk anyone's life".
And then to Sheelu, my elder bro. Sheelu once was explaining me the importance of doing first things first. I was telling him how important it is to share the word with the world. Though he agreed to what I was saying but he too stressed on sharing the word through my Karmas. At that point I had missed observing the beauty in "First things First". But day before yesterday when this bike thing happened, I could understand why its always said " First things First " !
Gyan altogether is an act of selflessness. But starts with being a little selfish. Pehle apna kalyaan to kar lo warna wahi baat jo Babaji kehte hain " Loki karde chaan na, aap hanere wich ".
PS : Its my interpretation of the incidents that happened. First things first, doesnt mean second shouldnt happen. Its just that one cannot have foot on step 2 without keeping one foot on step 1. Efforts should be to cautiously do first things first and time for second arrives soon and that too automatically.
