Jai Gurudev !
A simple calculation on how our lifespan is distributed generally ...I bet you , it’d be quite interesting .
Our lifespan , let's consider it as 70 years , better we keep it on the higer side .
On an average ,
we sleep for about 8 hrs a day , meaning one third of our lifetime is spent in sleeping .
We spend about 2 to 3 hrs a day in bathrooms that amounts to approximately ie one nineth of our lifetime .
We eat and munch for about 2 to 3 hrs a day , then another one nineth of lifespan is gone .
Then we travel or commute for about 2 hrs a day , one more one twelth of lifetime is passed off .
And our worktime is about 8 hrs a day , adding up to another one third of our lifetime .
How much time do you think , it will be left over ?
Total Lifespan (say) | 70 yrs |
Years spent for sleeping (1/3 th) | 23.3 yrs |
Years spent in bathrooms ( 1/9 th) | 7.7 yrs |
Years spent for eating (1/9th) | 7.7 yrs |
Years spent in travel (1/12 th) | 5.83 yrs |
Years spent in work (1/3 th) | 23.3 yrs |
Total years spent for the above | 67.86 |
Actual years left over for other activities | 70 - 67.8 | 2.2 yrs |
So,out of 70 long years , we are left with only 2.2 years for our own self !

And in that short span , what not we do ?
We gossip , fight , grumble , be depressed , become tensed etc...
Do we really strive to spend that little time effectively ?
To do our favourite hobbies , to talk to our loving friends /family members , to enjoy and be relaxed , tension free , go on a lovely tourist spot , to be with ourselves ?
It's a question worth asking ourself and introspect , I guess !!
What do you say ?
Love & smiles...
Nice perception :)
ReplyDeleteIt is really a matter of concern in our lives, as to what sense it makes, when we do so much and not to any have time to stop and savor the same!
"Sanyaasa" has the most need in today's world than in the ancient times.
True !
ReplyDeleteInfact we run & run ,day in and out...
But for what ?!!
Love & smiles...
