Introduction A long time ago, a young Zen monk lived in a little monastery in the forest by a small lake. The monastery was occupied by a few older monks, but the remainder were beginners who still needed to learn. The monks had numerous tasks at the monastery, but one of the most essential was their daily routine, which required them to sit down, close their eyes, and meditate. The monk struggled to focus during his meditation practice for several reasons, which irritated him. After that, I concentrated in quiet for hours at a time. After each meditation, they were to report back to their mentor on their development. Anger of a Young Monk When the young monk reported his progress, or lack thereof, to his mentor, the senior monk asked him a simple question with a hidden lesson: "Do you know what is making you angry?" The young monk responded, "Well, normally, as soon as I close my eyes and begin to meditate, someone moves around and I lose focus. I am angry when someone
Have you heard of a person who ate chappatis made on burning bodies in a cemetery? Yes, there exists a woman who lived in that condition and yet helped 1200+ orphan children to achieve their dreams. Her name is Sindhutai Sapkal, and she faced challenges throughout her life, and she faced those challenges in a great way.
She got married at the age of 9 and her husband was 20 years older than her. Her in-laws were not good and they used to beat her and one day her husband beat her so much that she became unconscious. Her husband dragged her to the cowshed when she was unconscious and untied all cows. At that time Sindhutai was pregnant and gave birth to a child in the cowshed. In one of Sindhutai's interviews, she explained how she had broken the umbilical cord by hitting a stone nine times. She left her home immediately and reached a railway station. Sindhutai started singing so that the passenger will give her some money.
She faced so many challenges that one day she decided to end her life and sat on a railway track. But when she saw her child then she decided to face all challenges and dedicated her life to the welfare of others. She started protesting for tribal people in the Amravati district of Maharashtra. Government officials impounded 132 cows of Adivasis and 1 of the cows died in their custody. Government officials acknowledged her protest and returned cows of Adivasis and that was her first success. But Sindhutai was still very poor and living as a beggar at the railway station. She walked several miles to her mother's home for help but her mother denied helping her. She came back to the railway station and started her living as a beggar again.
At that time she decided to work for orphans and she started begging more enthusiastically. She decided to open a place for orphan children called "Sanmati Bal Niketan". She later donated her daughter to Shrimant Dagdu Sheth Halwai, Pune, so that she will not do partiality with other orphan children. As of now, she has 250+ sons-in-law, 50+ daughters-in-law, and 1000+ grandchildren. Later, her husband came to her and apologized. Sindhutai forgives him and accepted him as her another child. She had got awarded for her efforts by Sh Pranab Mukherjee, Smt. Pratibha Patil and Sh Ramnath Kovind also.
Mee Sindhutai Sapkal (Marathi-language film) was released in 2010, it was a biopic inspired by the true story of Sindhutai Sapkal. The film was selected at the 54th London Film Festival for its world premiere. Sindhutai is still struggling for her and her children for the next meal. Many people turn to suicide when they face few failures in their life but they must learn from the life of Sindhutai. She started begging at the railway station and now she is running multiple NGOs. In these times when all are running after short term gains, Sindhutai is an ideal person to know the importance of patience. We must learn from the life of Sindhutai and her never say die attitude.
