Pebble the Pond…

A serene pond gives an amazing reflection of the calm Self within each of us, the one that is so DEEP rooted, which is also probably the reason why it is highly inaccessible – Too deep rooted.

Deep within each of us, there is the Self that is desperate; desperate for joy, success, craving to grow, to be popular, to be sought after, and to be the apple of the eye to everyone; in other words yearning to be ‘the Master of the world’. The child in us completely believes “I am the best” and propels each of our action despite all past experiences.  It’s amazing how this Master operates.  The only setback is that this Master takes charge only during the critical moments of life.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like, if every moment of our life is controlled by this Master? The more I think about that, the more it feels this way to me.

Like a pebble that creates beautiful ripples in a pond, the ACTIVATED MASTER in us causes the ripple-effect over everyone around us.  Mining our Self is not an easy task.  While mining, we come across sand, stones and rocks of all sorts within. While some are really beautiful elements, others are extremely hard to break, there are some sullied stuffs and of course, we would have to kill some germs and insects that has grown within. As we burrow deeper, fear increases due to high resistance and we don’t let ourselves unfold. It is definitely not an easy task to reach the Master without passing through all the pawns.

As we reach this Master, we realize Him as an ocean of knowledge. Not a still pond, but a deep ocean that is placid, for its depth is so unfathomable.  It is blissful as He enlightens us that all the extrinsic factors are simply excuses through which we try to justify our ineptness. Interestingly we justify its cause because we know that the Master within will feel elated if it had happened as it should have. The Master knows that everything in our life is the choice that we have made.  I decide to not marry someone of another caste. Why? I may say it will make my parents unhappy.  But the Master within has His own reasons; either HE himself believes that it is not good to marry from another caste, or YOU have chosen to please your parents and make the Master unhappy.  In reality, we are so busy trying to be happy and attribute all the unhappiness to the Master whom we don’t want to face at all.

This only leads us to the space where all of us think that happiness is about keeping others happy by SELF-SACRIFICE. Think about it. How can we ever generate something in others what we lack? Do we ever realize that we keep moving in circles thinking that the pond is the ocean? 

The realization has generated in me a super power that gives me strength, joy and success, and I can fee l MY Master awake and active. Trust me, it is a huge transition which of course is not easy to attain. But what is worthy, if it comes through easily? The effect is definitely fruitful and LIFE TRANSFORMING. I got enlightened and felt you too would thirst for it.

May be you too want to pebble your pond to reach the Ocean…
