The Buddha, COVID and I 🤔

COVID times have been emotionally draining  to the COVID warriors. The Doctor’s mail box is full to the brim, his what’s up app in the cell is paralysed and mentally he is imprisoned inside Hitler’s bunkers of insanity. Questions asked repeatedly by either a patient with COVID or a prospective patient for COVID are “ Will I get COVID ? How to keep it at bay ? Will I die due   to COVID ? Is there any cure for this pandemic?. and ………..so on and so forth.” In fact one of you might have even asked these questions to this  ignorant and innocent Doctor. I ran into my mentor The Buddha this morning on the terrace.. I asked him “ What should I do in this situation ?”. Buddha is synonymous with silence  and as usual He kept silent. His silence conveyed to me this pearl of Wisdom “Observe silence.Advise is the greatest vice one can possess in his journey. The person who asks you an for an advise prefers you to give one which will be in line with his perception and decision .You have no idea or perception  of either your own thoughts or his ..Come with me.We will travel together to blissful islands of  tranquility which is ruled by a monarch named “Silence..” I am now taking leave of you and flying off with the Buddha..You are welcome to join me but that is not my advise.🧎‍♀️
