"Bhagvan ni to mara par bau krupa chhe saheb"
A man aged 50 who had to get his leg cut and who is suffering from cancer told this to me. Here everybody knew what the real value of 'life' is, why is it necessary to be happy in whatever they had and how divine the presence of god is. May be because they had suffered to an extent that we may not be able to imagine. These people knew the exact meaning of pain, loneliness and how does it feel when your parents or your children don't want you in your own house and leave you when you needed them the most. I am talking about a place called 'sahyog' near Himatnagar, Gujarat where they give a home to mentally retarded people, to those suffering from various major diseases and many others.

Leprosy is a kind of disease which makes you helpless. Every morning when you wake up you are not sure if all the organs are working the same as they used to yesterday. Watching yourself becoming helpless day by day could be one of the saddest things and the worst nightmare. I assumed that it is justified for these people to be angry at god or if they are sad or depressed, they have got a legitimate reason to be so, but surprisingly, not only these people believed in god but were grateful to him for giving whatever little they had. They had the biggest smile on their face, they were happy talking to each other, listening to radio and most of all for getting another day to live. Faith in god keeps them happy, it makes them feel that above everything and everybody there is someone taking care of them and it is because of him, they have whatever they have today.
You can cry all you want about not having a huge house or not having the looks u want or anything alike but one only realizes how shallow that is when they see someone with A LOT less money and a lot more and PAIN with a BIGGER SMILE than what you have. Living a life wishing a lot of abundance of money is amazing and to live a life achieving all the materialist pleasure is also great but to live where you be the source of somebody's smile or you are the reason of someone's survival helps you to be at peace and gives you a sense of satisfaction.
Its not been too long where "Dude, why do i care, their fate, their problem!! has been replaced by "hey don't worry, i care". One doesn't need to sacrifice his whole life to help people but to help somebody, ANYBODY, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME without hesitation and with a beautiful smile is necessary.
