O Seat!

I am lost somewhere for the past few days. I am reading my material without understanding, I look at the time mocking its speed, I am just thinking without thinking. All this is happening at a place which I call ''Library". I visit a library to turn my dreams into reality. Usually I come here early in the morning and choose a seat randomly. So the seat keeps on changing. I never sit on a particular seat for consecutive days. There is a strong reason for it. Whenever I choose a particular seat for more than three-four days, it always backfires. Initially it produce good results, make my concentration deeper, motivates me, make me happy and smile but this charm lasts only few days. Afterwards attraction elope and boundation appear. The continuation of that 'one' seat make me impulsive of surroundings of that seat. The moment I sit on a particular seat for quite some time, it gives birth to attachment, which may prove disastrous for my objectives.  I am facing the exact situation right now. 

The situation is like a funambulist trying to make the balance on a rope whose two ends are heart and mind.  The situation demands compromise on my part, it tests my perseverance, my passion, my struggle for my quest. It tests my sacrifice for the ultimate goal vis-a-vis a small, attractive but short lived uncertain gain. Amidst this, the ultimate goal i.e., happiness delays infinitely. The shorter objective compels the larger one to wait. Every time, when this happens, I am mindful that this is happening to me but I can't resist it. I know that I can't afford one more day for the same seat, but I can't help myself. In the condition of such helplessness, I look outside. Thanks to the people around me who wake me up at the spur of the moment. 

This time I was awakened by one friend who inquired me about the seat opposite to me. I was awaken as if I were sleeping for a long time. Thanks, O friend! for this unintentional but important inquiry. Thanks for telling me that I should sleep but open eyes. Thanks for teaching that I shall not stuck at one seat if I have to progress. Thanks for the wisdom that, I shall be thankful to this seat and cherish the memories of this seat for good. 

Now, I shall sacrifice the charm of this seat for some new one. O beloved seat! I am thankful to you! I am thankful that you gave me some moments of happiness. I shall always smile whenever I glance at you in the future. Thank you, O seat! I have learnt a lot from you, I have learnt the power of silence from you, O my seat! I have learnt more sincerity from you. I am thankful to you, for giving me a chance to interact to the beautiful seat opposite to you. You are the best seat I have ever got here in this library, but now I shall bid adieu to you to learn some new lessons from some new seats and meet them warmly....................................

(Dedicated to those who sit one a particular seat on a daily basis)
