Water
Flows Down
It’s strange isn’t it how every thing in this world
always keeps coming down. Sir Isaac Newton explained this phenomenon
using the laws of gravity. But I must admit that I am still amazed
how everything in this world tries to reach the lowest possible
point.
If you have ever watched water flow you will understand what I
am talking about. A water fall, never thunders upwards, a stream
always flows down wards (remember the nursery rhyme, “Row,
row, row your boat gently down the stream”) even a tiny
pool of water spilt on the table tries to find the easiest way
downwards.
So what about it? You must be wondering what the connection is
between quitting smoking and flowing water. There is a very deep
connection, as you will see for yourself. There is an unwritten
rule in this world that everything must try and find the easiest
route downwards. When you take something to a higher state, it
becomes unstable and tries to find the easiest route downwards.
Over here we are trying to precisely the same thing. We are trying
to take you from a lower state (the state of being a smoker) to
a higher state, (the state of being a non-smoker). So you must
bear in mind that it is the easiest thing in the world for you
to relapse and again pick up that packet of cigarettes. It is
going to take a lot of effort and will power on your part to refrain
from smoking. That’s why I keep saying that you will need
all the support and encouragement while you are still working
at it.
But then you might wonder if you have to keep up that will power
and constantly have to keep battling against the urge to smoke
for the rest of your life. The answer is no. Once you have given
up the habit once and for all, once you have over come all these
withdrawal symptoms, then you have arrived. You will automatically
pick up a new life style and there will be no room for cigarettes
in that new life.
You will start to realize how much better your life has become
with out cigarettes. You will feel the power in your hands, you
will be in absolute control of your life and at that stage there
is absolutely no going back. Once you have tasted the sweetness
of success, there is no going back. Then you are safe and there
is no fear of relapsing after that.
The whole thing is like a threshold. When you are controlling
yourself for the first time, you are at the very middle of the
threshold. You can fall upwards or downwards and it is much easier
to fall downwards. This is where you need the support, help and
encouragement of others. But gradually as you over come the urge,
you advance further and further upward and once you are beyond
a certain point, then you have reached the point of no return
and then there is no going back.
