Lift to LEVEL 0

Although the office is just one floor above the parking level, I take lift these days. Reason being faulty door that leads to the stair case.

I have been using lift for week or so now, and have also used it in past but yesterday something caught my attention - the safety advisory inside the lift which read:

"Life is equipped with automatic recovery mechanism. Do not Panic."

Something didn't fit in, I had to re-read the board and this is what I read on second attempt:

"Lift is equipped with automatic recovery mechanism. Do not Panic."

Now, this made some logic. When you are inside in the lift, you are bound to get some instructions on using the lift.

I couldn't control my smile on what I had read at first. Perhaps a reminder to tell me that there is nothing to panic.

As I often do, I was caught up in some thoughts about xyz thing which I can't remember now. But I'm sure I was not at ease. And this reminder made me ponder, do I really need to be serious of the current situation? After all Life is in an automatic recovery mode where God is doing everything to ensure that the travel in human form would continue happily and without any hiccups. However the only hiccups I witness are due to my panicking. All we need to do at times is just give it some time.

I recall Bro telling me there is no problem showing that you are concerned, but do not be concerned. We are likely to feel the pressure of the situations, but how well we can cope up is our own ability. The more attached we are to the situation, chances are more panic we would create but if we understand this too shall pass, same situation does not harm us.

However easier said than done! 

But I pray, I hope, I wish that our faiths be strong enough to keep us walking. And source of this strength is none other than You. 

Therefore hold my hand as I travel through this human lift! I mean human life.
