Understand that life is a beautiful composition of innumerable emotions. These emotions are nothing but the colours of life. You must know how to enjoy each of them just like the different colours of Holi. Some colours are too bright to be ignored, some get mixed with other colours turning into a completely different shade, some leave a perpetual mark on clothes, and some vanish soon.
On Holi, you experience all such colours when people throw them on you. It’s a part of your life. Likewise, different emotions that result in different actions, are also an inseparable part of your life. You experience some of them on a daily basis, some for a short moment, some are misleading while some leave a permanent mark on your mind.
How to Celebrate Holi Festival -These varied colours of emotions- including anger, love, fear, joy, sorrow, jubilation, zeal, to name just a few- define the mood of your everyday life. Just as each shade in the rainbow is vital to produce its beautiful image, diverse emotions should also be felt to make life beautiful.
Therefore, view life as a wonderful display of emotions and learn to appreciate the importance of each of them. They give the real meaning to life. Look deeply, you’ll find that every emotion has a particular teaching attached to it. Try to imbibe these teachings. They will surely help you enrich your life.
Further, on the day of Holi, the atmosphere looks like a grand mixture of laughter & colours. Everyone gets covered with colours. People are almost unrecognizable. It seems as if there is no discrimination at all. All are happy and all are together, celebrating life. That’s how your life should be.
Diverse emotions are moving around in your physical realm. Try not to give special importance to any single emotion. Take them in a holistic way. When your feelings are in harmony, you live life happily and with equanimity.
