Why We do not Change?

When someone says, “I would live my life exactly the same way I did. I have no regrets”, that person has learnt nothing in his life. The wise man shall ruminate on his decisions, recall his foolishness and learn from his juvenile notions. The thick heads, the dreamers and those without any vision will make the statements that “I will live exactly the way I did”. That means, you do not recognize any mistakes you did, you do not wish to improve your life, you do not wish to progress in life.
No one’s life is full of flowers. No one’s life is only smooth. Everyone goes through ups and downs. Everyone passes through sweetness and sadness. And still if you say, my life I cherish, my past is not perfect but still will live the same way-what to say of that person but that he is a fool.
Fools don’t change and change is the essence of life, Fools don’t want to change and change is the lesson of life.
How to change is in our hands. Some may become bitter by life experiences, some may become vengeful, some may become indifferent, some may become hard and very few, the rarest of the rare may learn to become forgiving. Very rarely do people froget what others have done to them. They remain bitter, non-forgiving and in turn become selfish, laidback, careless and revengeful.
Is that what we came here for? Is that what we have learn?

“એણે મારી સાથે આવું કર્યું, હવે તો એને હું છોડીશ નહીં. એ પોતાની જાતને શું સમજે છે, મને શિખવાડવા માંગે છે, પહેલા પોતાને તો જો? મેં કોઈનું બગાડ્યું નથી, તો કેમ લોકો મારું બગાડે છે?” - આ છે એક પ્રકારની સોચ.
તો બીજા પ્રકારની સોચ તો એ છે – “આવું જ મારી સાથે કેમ થાય છે? મને તો આ સહન કરવાનું જ છે. મારા કર્મો છે.” આ છે લાચારી ભરી સોચ.
અને એક સોચ છે બેપરવાઈ ભરી - કોને પડી છે. “જે થવાનું હોય તે થવા દે – મારે શું?”
એવા અનેક અનેક વિચિત્ર સોચવાળા પ્રાણી આ જગમાં હોય છે. પણ કોઈ એમ કેમ નથી વિચારતું કે, “મારે આમાંથી શું શીખવાનું છે”? કેમ એમ નથી વિચારતું, “પ્રભુ મને સુધારો, તમારે જેવો મને બનાવવો છે, એવો મને બનાવવો”?
કારણ કે આપણે સુધરવું નથી.
We want to remain the way we are. That is the bitter truth of life. That is the sad story of our life. Till that realisation does not come that I am wasting my life; that introspect does not come that I need to change and the change is not possible. Till we just go and go without pausing to decide, to unlearn; we will never change, we will be the same.
Change then comes automatically. All it takes is a little bit of realization.
