The Blissful cloud !

Once upon a time there was vast Ocean , as vast and encapsulating as one could imagine . On a very sunny day a small chunk of water from the ocean evaporated and took the shape of a cloud . Thereafter it was carried by the winds to foreign lands where it poured whenever it felt heavy giving useful water to plants , people, lakes and rivers . Every shower gave it a temporary satisfaction , a reason to feel proud of its skill to produce water better than the other clouds , being the best at the job. But as the rains departed , the cloud was filled with discontent , boredom and restlessness. It kept longing for the next opportunity where it could once again prove its superiority, fill the rivers and lakes with water and boast of being the best cloud in the sky . Seasons kept passing but none could give the peace and stillness to the cloud , this search for permanent solace kept emerging as desires for better downpours until one magical moment the air current changed direction and the cloud was blown up high into the sky to a place from where the vision of the entire world was clear .
From that height the cloud saw the truth of which it was always a part but was never aware. All the water which poured from the cloud into plants , used by people, flowing in rivers and lakes finally went and became a part of the same ocean from where the cloud originated. For the first time in its lifetime the cloud experienced the peace and bliss which was eternal and fulfilling. The discontent which it was suffering from which kept manifesting as a desire to pour was nothing but an urge to be one with the Ocean of which it was once a part . Now it realized that it was never separated from the ocean . The ocean had taken the form of a cloud to fulfill the needs of so many to finally merge into itself again . The cloud now smiled at the pride it felt for its skill and the desires it had again and again . From that moment onwards the cloud swayed effortless in the sky , with the faith that it was, it is and it will always be a part of the Ocean it came from . The Ocean winds are guiding it to where it is most required , its form is just a medium through which the ocean is bringing to life a purpose .
Every life no matter how infinitesimal or gigantic is serving a purpose of something bigger , better, powerful, loving of which it is also a part. That something which we may call God ,nature, consciousness, energy or simply divine logic is ever present and ever blissful. If we just stop and be still we can observe how life is moving through us . Otherwise we are just carried away by life without realizing the stillness, peace and bliss that we are . The shift is just in our perception of life . Something works through us to fulfill a divine cause . We were created from it so we are also a part of it.
If we realize the something we are then we can surrender the worries , doubts and fears to it and just observe how the sequence of events in our life keep happening so that a purpose can be achieved through us .Only when we are devoid of worries, fears, desires and hatred we can be 100% active and aware in the present . Then our actions are selfless, effective and well directed. Feverishness is replaced with motive .
If we keep living a life directed by our own ego , our Identity is the center of whatever we think , feel and act . Every action accompanies to itself a tinge of feverishness, fear and disbelief. Believe it or not happenings are beyond the control of the human ego .
Find out the magic and power you are and believe in it . If still in doubt look up into the sky the that cloud still floats effortless and blissful !

What Will I Become !

A tiny seed just sown into the soil . If it had a mind like ours posing millions of questions to it and the most uncertain of them all – ‘ What will I Become !’. A poor tiny thing with nothing under its control. The sunlight owned by the Sun , water owned by the clouds, minerals owned by the soil and protection dependent on its environment . With so many tensions to handle the poor plant hidden inside the seed would die of a massive heart attack in its womb, which is the seed. Thankfully the seed is free from the mind , the only realization that it possess is faith . The faith that the power which caused it to ‘BE’ will sustain its ‘BEING’. With such a faith the creation is tuned with the seed and guided by its intentions. Whatever the seed has to ‘BECOME’ will effortlessly be reached .
The journey of life is like a Coconut tale . There it was hanging gracefully on a tall tree in all its serenity , then arose an intention to know how it feels to touch the ground , be consumed by others, satisfy someone’s thirst or become a part of someone’s meal. So that very moment it fell from that height and took various different forms . Now the coconut water in the glass, shredded coconut in the pan and the dried coconut skin woven into the mat have taken different identities. They have lost the realization of who they originally are – ‘ Coconut ‘.
When a new born comes into existence it brings along an intention, a purpose . A destination where it will reach living through various stages , facing numerous situations in which it will intend and act in a typical way . The supreme , powerful , God or nature whatever you call it has already decided for us – ‘ What will I become’. The faith is the deciding factor . If you believe that you are taken care off and surrender , life changes ,from a struggle fueled by desires and fear to a journey where you are a vehicle which the divine rides and enjoys its creation until the destination is reached. Instead of thinking ‘ What will I become’ think “ What I am “. Question your own identity – “ Who am I “. We are a part of the divine , search for that divine power in you and be aware of how it is controlling your life…..
We want to become a doctor , engineer, politician , actor and the list is endless. Ever thought of becoming ‘ GOD’- An ocean of selfless love . Just try to be like God, may be you will find that there is no need to become what we already are !
