This post, in opinion is a very profound, relevant, and timely to reflect upon.
It is important to know the difference between pause and break. While a break disturbs and destroys the continuity, a pause does not. Pause simply means a halt or a stop before resuming the process. It is like a station on a journey. After that, the same journey can continue, mostly in the same direction till the destination is reached.
Every life is bestowed with a quantum of energy. Life breaks or ends when this energy is exhausted. But judicious use of pause during daily routines of life can not only conserve this energy but can also recharge the energy providing batteries and prolong life.
A pause, therefore, is not a luxury but a necessity for life. Failing to do so can not only shorten the life but can force the H.A.L.T; the phenomenon of hunger, anger, loneliness, and tiredness, making life miserable, even not worth living being devoid of happiness. Pause as an automatic phenomenon has been inbuilt in our system.
Physically, the heart takes a pause as in diastole and mentally the brain takes a pause as in the states of sleep or meditation. The need for a pause, therefore, is so obvious.
Pause provides the fourth and fifth dimensions that are so vital for life, those of time and space, to reflect and contemplate, to recover and rejuvenate.
When we count the innumerable blessings and gifts from our God, the all-mighty, three of them standout as the most precious.
These are the power to remember and recall, the power to forget and delete, and the power to pause and resume. The first is necessarily inbuilt, the second is optional and voluntary, but the third has to be intentionally inculcated as a mandatory part of our lives. By doing so, we can spare so many mishaps and misgivings in life.
Let me tell a story to emphasize the importance of a pause.
A young army soldier was called for duty just two weeks after his marriage. Very reluctantly he left his young wife promising her that he will return soon. Unfortunately, he got leave only after twelve years. He rushed home hoping that she must be waiting for him even after such a long separation. When he reached his village, he decided to give his wife a surprise by coming home at night. With his rifle hanging on his shoulder, he was about to knock on the door when he heard his wife’s voice saying, ‘I love you so much. I have spent every moment of past so many years with you and you have made me so happy that I will not be able to live even for a moment without you’. Realizing that his doubts about his wife’s fidelity have come true, he peeped through the window and aimed his gun to shoot at her. What he saw at that crucial moment was the plate hanging on the wall that read, ‘Think before you act, pause before you react’. Recognizing his own motto, he lowered his gun and paused to take a deep breath. During those few moments of pause, he heard a male voice saying, ‘I too cannot live without you because I love you so much, Mom’. He was stunned like a million volts lightening had struck him, realizing that he was going to kill his own adolescent son and his wife at that moment of rage. It was the Pause that saved three lives for he too could not have lived with that guilt.
To pause is a sign of maturity and wisdom, not of insecurity or weakness. It is a ritual that we have to include as part of our daily routine and interactions. It provides that precious moment in life when we discern the value of gratitude and forgiveness, of bliss and happiness.
To look before you leap, to think before you speak, are the time-honored axioms preached by enlightened thinkers. This should be the seventh ritual on Mukta’s list for the replenishing of the body, for peace of mind and for serenity of the soul.
