You might have heard about the
word racket many times. This word is used many times with negative meanings.
Rarely you may come across any positive meaning assigned to this world. For example, the racket of drug suppliers, sex racket etc. There are many places in India and
abroad where you find a shop selling snacks or vegetables in the day but selling
wines or other restricted items at night. The person carrying this type of racket has an approach to authorities and they are powerful.
How do we create such rackets in our minds? In our normal life, we too
show off everything to be good but normally we do not feel good with certain circumstances
and relations. We face ups and downs in our life. Sometimes we quarrel with our
near and dear ones for silly issues. Upon the occurrence of a small event, we make
a full proof story mostly unknown to the opponent. We give full respect to our
stories considering them true. Whereas in reality story is the creation of our own mind.
An imaginary object which does not exist in real life. For example, I called my
neighbour to join me in a social event but he could not. Let us see how my mind cooked a story quickly.

I called upon my
neighbour to attend a function but he did not join because – He is very arrogant. He is very selfish He does not like me He always opposes my
proposal He never both about
any issue in society He does not take any
responsibility Etc….etc

Whenever we create stories, we always presume it to be true. We get self-satisfaction in return and always pay off these stories in form of tension and negative feelings. Gradually we create a bundle of feeling not only about any neighbour but our relatives like parents, spouse, children and siblings. We miss the sweetness of relations. Sometimes we do not even feel connected to ourselves.
Now just think that when we
are not connected to our family and friends then how can we feel bondage of
love and affection with country or society. There are so many powerful peoples
in the world who create rackets for their self-interest and give them a name and form
groups to include many peoples. People knowingly or unknowingly get connected
in such rackets and waste their precious time and get nothing.
Therefore, I would recommend every
person to discriminate between facts and stories. For example, in the above case neighbours
might have been genuinely occupied somewhere but our minds created stories. It's
really nothing but being inauthentic with self. Has there been the power of
authenticity then I would have accepted the fact as it is and did not indulge
in creating stories? We would have enjoyed the power of self-expression and spoken
to him. We could have enjoyed our relations.
Therefore, let us be authentic
with our relations. Do not over suspect anyone and enjoy harmonious relations
with your own people. It’s possible, Happy Independence Day.
