A dustbin
is probably the most ignored and ill-treated object placed at some corner of
any place. We hardly even look at it, often just aim and throw stuff into it.
Seldom do we realize the importance of it. It encompasses all the dirt and dust
from all the other parts of the place. It is because of it that the other
parts of the place are in the limelight.
Imagine a
day without a dustbin, you can't just throw dirt outside the house, it is
ill-mannered and unethical to do so and you can't indefinitely continue living
in a dirty place!! This is
something to think about.
The role
that every object plays is important and it is not our
prerogative to demean it.
Stretching
this thought a little more, I would like to say that we must all keep a
dustbin in our minds. If the mind is the floor, unwanted thoughts are the dirt,
with the help of the broom of spiritual knowledge we need to cleanse it and
remove those unwanted thoughts and put them in a dustbin.
A dustbin
always says 'use me'! That should be our take-away from it. If you are able to
say "I'm available for you. How can I help you?", I assure you that
you are doing great in life by all means.
The
dignified dustbin knows it's worth, but sadly to the world, it is a dilapidated
one.
