Wisdom from Solitude 🧎‍♀️

I have been wedded to the medical profession since 37 years.Passion and the Oath of Hippocrates have been the fuel which have propelled me to reach this stage under the guidance provided by the Creator. For more than two decades, it has been only professional work from 9 am to midnight.If anything can hold testimony to this fact ( for the doubter who thinks that my statement is fiction); it is the graveyard located on my way back home that can hold testimony to the truth of my statement. The Sun at dawn and the Graveyard at midnight wished me daily “Good Morning” and “Good Night.”. Everybody haunted me with this question “ Being a workaholic , what will you do after retirement?” I always observed silence when it came to this question. Silence is the language of The Buddha which I rightfully adopted as a strategy whenever I did not know the answer. Now I convey my answer to those people “ After the “I” retires the “I” will do nothing . The present situation of isolation and no work has taught me the truth of this statement “ All these days, I was under the shelter of Ego assuming that I was doing everything. Meaningful introspection during this quarantine has driven the Ego out of the self.At present emptiness has confirmed the emptiness of my actions both for the present , past and future. 🙇‍♂️
