Kalpvriksh : कल्पवृक्ष

 Story time! 😀

There once was a girl, who lived through in a normal place, fancying all the things she wanted, all her life. One day she decided that she will search the best place to live where there will be plenty of resource , all to herself. She  embarked  on the journey by herself, on foot. She walked and walked and walked for so long and promised herself to not stop until she gets there. For days , she walked in one direction only, focused , famished, and on the brink of collapsing. 

One fine day she found herself in the most beautiful place that she has ever seen😍 . A wide, lonely yet deadly beautiful place.  She decided to stay and rest for a while there and then move on. She sat under a tree and slept there as soon as she laid down. After hours , she woke up, well rested, refreshed  but starving. First thought? "ahh... wish I could eat all my favorite things in the world right now"          

*boom* 💥💥

As soon as she said it, all  delicious things she wanted to eat were in front of her, Flabbergasted, yet hungry, she proceeded to eat all those things.  After all her hunger was satiated, She began to think carefully and realized that everything that was on her mind came to existence instantaneously. She started thinking that there might be someone watching her in secret, and right at that moment, she felt someone behind the tree.    Next thought, " Whatever it is , it wants to hurt me or haunt me, what if it is a ghost👻👿. The moment she thought that, she found herself in front of one scary one coming for her. She thought this will never get better, and it did not! ever!.😧

Legends say, that she sat under  a 'Kalp-vriksh', which literally translates to : whatever you think, will come to life'. She did not realized it and thought all worst case scenarios possible, and those came true. Now , she could have thought all range of thought, but her perception to life and view on life, were so negative that she ended up dead, without using the 'kalp-vriksh' she had. 

Moral of the story: 

# The nearest possible and comprehensible thing to kalp-vriksh, is our mind. You can use it in the most beautiful way or the worst way or anything in between, that's up to you. So nurture it with care, love, and adornments. However you make it, your life depends on it. 

Please love yourself and be your own "Kalp-vriksh"
