Namaskaram

That exam day is still fresh in my memory.

Because I was experiencing certain stomach-related sensations, which I believe are common feelings for everyone before an exam, I was feeling incredibly agitated and apprehensive. As I make my way to the exam room, my heartbeat is erratic.

I entered the hall and noticed that it was completely silent. Teachers were occupied examining how the exam was administered. Assigned seats were being sought after by the students using their roll numbers. There were some kids still studying outside the hallway. I just sat in my chair and waited for the exam to begin; my seat was close to the window. Others were calm, while others appeared nervous.
After some time, the anticipated moment arrives and the exam paper is in my possession. just reading each question as you turn the pages As soon as I saw the paper, my hands began to shake, my throat began to dry up, and my legs began to tremble since I didn’t even know one single answer on the paper that I could give. I am unable to articulate how I felt at the time. I can only feel guilty for being powerless. I then came to the realisation that instead of studying, I had wasted my valuable time on amusement activities.

The difficult part is what my parents will experience when they see the report card from result day. After that, they claim that I intentionally ruined my future. I had the impression that I was completely alone in the world. These ideas intrude on my consciousness.

Then I understood that our entire existence is an examination and that this world is also a testing ground. The stairway to God are questions. Death is our result day, and karma leaves a mark ( also read powerful karma quotes from thought leaders ). And the grade is our life. Our parents are the Almighty. Most people likely waste their entire lives seeking materialistic happiness and pleasure. Therefore, let’s create positive karma so that we won’t have to look back and regret our actions in the future.

Let’s make life worthwhile by practising good karma in order to reach the divine, much like a student who achieves a goal by tremendous work.
