Comparison is a quality of a person which developes with the age. In the childhood age it is also there in the mind but doesn't see. As we grow it becomes an indispensable part of our life. It is practical to see that most of us compare everytime with others. Someone compares his poetry with ROBERT FROST, someone compares himself with SALMAN,SRK, someone thinks that he is not good as compared to his peers and by thinking about that kinds of thoughts he forgets about himself, that who is he actually. That thoughts create a state of alianation, depression.brings pain,sorrow and he says life is not good etc..
In our society it is seen that one tries to copy other, compares with other like, HE IS THAT ,HE IS THIS etc but forgets to think that how he became this or that but do only comparison.
As we examine it deeply we can find that,it is not a problem of individuals but a problem of mass . Most of the people are suffering this situation and living with a compared state of mind.
HOW IT CREATES IN OUR MIND ?
As I wrote above , comparison is a state of mind so the origins of comparison of a person can be traced back from his childhood.
When a child takes birth,at this time some says like A GIRL CHILD OR BOY CHILD ,from that point comparison starts In society ( mr X has a boy but I haven't etc)
After that when the child grows and if she/ he lacks some performance , relatives say LOOK MR X SON, HE CAN DO WHY NOT U . here also comparison.
Again when that child becomes a student and unfortunately doesn't score good marks ,here parents said,LOOK YOUR FRIEND ,HE IS FIRST IN THE CLASS WHY DON'T YOU. here is also comparison.
In our society,we can see that and it is a practical fact that ,women wear much ornaments in a ceremony not because it looks good on them but only for showing and men runs behind the money that,how to earns more so that I can just cross the income as compared to my neighbour.
Thus we can find comparison in every sphere of life and crumbled by this in such a way that we forget about ourself ,we can't live our lifes and can't enjoy our life and because of this it is said COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF ENJOYMENT.
But in Nature nothing is good or bad it's upto you how you use the quality .so comparison is also not bad .Yes it is bad if we compare with others but it can be good if we compare with ourselves only and the thief can be a hero of our life. Yes we can make that evil , unscrupulous to be a savior of our life.
HOW TO TRANSFER THE THIEF INTO A HERO...
GOD creates everyone differently ,if we started compare then we go against the God . In this world no one has the same finger prints then why comparison? Be U NIK.....
Compare yourself only with the person you were yesterday not others...
Srimad Bhagavad Gita,says in chapter 18:47
Means, it is better to engage in one's own occupation,even though one may performs it imperfectly,that to accept another's occupation and perform it perfectly. Duties prescribed according to one's nature are never affected by sinful reactions..
LEARN from the flower that,. A FLOWER DOESN'T THINK OF COMPETING TO THE FLOWER NEXT TO IT. IT JUST BLOOMS ( ZEN SHIN)
