Home, sweet home

                        Home, sweet home


It is said east or west, home is the best.

A householder left home in search of finding the highest beauty. Here beauty is not to be taken in the modern sense as it is understood now. It is an enduring quality which always appeals to the mind and has a soothing effect on the mind. He met a number of people. When he asked a sage, he replied that one can find the greatest beauty in faith. Because faith alone can reveal God even from a stone.
Then he came across a devotee who said that the real and ultimate beauty is in love only. Because of the selfless love only, Lord Krishna is dearest to all. The householder was not satisfied. He saw a soldier coming on the way. The army man said that peace is the real and the greatest beauty.
Two days had passed since he left his home. He was not satisfied with his quest. So many people and so many different answers for the same single question . He felt home sick. He wanted to see and be with his family. So he returned home. All the members of his family were crying and could no longer bear separation from him. The moment they saw him coming, they all ran and clung to him. He grew richer in his ignorance and repented that in vain he left the house to find something which is not available outside. For, faith, love and peace are found only in one's own home. That is why one can find oneself only at home. So, it is rightly said that ' Home, sweet home'.
Home is the place to find happiness. If one does not find it here, one cannot find it anywhere.
