Buddha’s early retirement!



Well, that’s how I see it!

At such a young age, married and a young Father, he renounced everything in search of enlightenment! Let alone yashodhara, his son Rahul would have missed him big time! What plans he had in mind?!

What if Yashodhara did something like that?

Her motherhood would have been criticized and disgraced! While buddha is worshipped as God, the sufferings of Yashodhara are untold!
Be it a royal prince, if he behaved differently upon his first outing, why did the wedding even take place? I wonder!  

Even now, my grandmothers, mother and aunts, can any of us retire from our kitchen? Whatever may be our reasons! Even I love to sleep as I am having disturbed sleep since the last 6 years, then who will send the kids to school? The kitchen, the laundry, etc. everything will come to a standstill as Sivaji sings in Thiruvilayadal. 

This is not ego out of which I’m saying, but even a hand kerchief will remain on the floor even for four days, until I bend down and remove it! Others will see it, but oversee it, go around it or jump over it but it wouldn’t strike them to pick it up!

I would say, Buddha was lucky to be able to sit quietly for meditation! Only when I sit down, everyone remembers everything! So, the best thing I do is to push this time to the night!

Why should men alone have all the good things even when they move on? What is more challenging? renouncing or going on with grit?
