What's a MISTAKE?

In the peaceful atmosphere of Sai Baba temple, sat a man in meditation!

Who was he?Where did he come from?Was he here for a reason? 

So many questions!! Here are the answers.
Who was he? – ME!! Where did he come from – JP Nagar 2^nd phase!! Was he here for a reason?- Ya, came with family!! Ok Ok Jokes apart :-) as I sat there in silence something funny flashed.

WHATS A MISTAKE???

 Here's the Dictionary definition 

 " mis·take - An error or fault resulting from defective judgment, deficient knowledge, or carelessness. "

Many Gurus and great Seers who have seen the LIGHT OF LIFE  have said.. Life is a play! Life is a drama! Life is like a movie.. etc etc.. Shakespeare said – All the world’s a stage and we are all actors playing roles! So keeping these in mind now lets see what  MISTAKE MEANS.

Firstly lets split the word  MIS – TAKE. Now say it aloud 5 times.. slowly, like MISSSSS TAAAAAAAKE.. MISSSSS TAAAAAAAKE.. MISSSSS TAAAAAAAKE.. MISSSSS TAAAAAAAKE.. MISSSSS TAAAAAAAKE..

Did you hear it right.. MIS AND TAKE.

So picturize this – A Mega blockbuster movie in the making!! You are the Director and Actor. God produces the movie of your LIFE – so let’s keep the producer away for a while :-)

So what does a Director do when the scene he is shooting for a movie goes wrong or is not satisfactory???

 

 TAKE 1.. TAKE 2… TAKE 3.. AND it goes on till the TAKE is perfect to the Directors satisfaction.. Note that though the Producer is the one who sponsors the whole movie..he does not interfere in the takes. Director(YOU) are fully responsible for whatever happens. Similarly  in our lives when there’s a mistake committed by you or anyone else it’s just that the situation or the TAKE did not turn out the way it should have been. In other words it means "thats not the way to do it!" or " there's a better way to do this"

So it’s a MIS-TAKE.. A TAKE WHICH WENT WRONG! that's all!!

 So instead of complaining and trying to find placeholders and bakras to shift the blame to.. know that the Acting/Directing was not up to the mark. Direct the scene well and RETAKE it to correct the MISTAKE.

May be the MISTAKE isn’t correctable, at least the next scene will be better and your Acting improves and so does your Direction and in the end the PRODUCER – GOD is happy :-)

AND WHAT MORE UR LIFE MOVIE IS A BLOCKBUSTER HIT!!

Why did all this flash in Sai Baba temple?? Well probably because theres a Rajnikanth movie titled BABA, hence I got an analogy based on movie and direction!! :-)

Joy Gurudeva!
