I have a final exam in one day's time.I should be studying.But it becomes absolutely impossible with thoughts stuck in your head.
A friend of mine gave me a link to read with hopes of providing me with his wingman services.And scrolling through it.It ran into the these lines. Sometimes when i look at the brook running all the way down from the mountain to the ocean,I find the character of the brook so admirable:it is like being indifferent to fame and wealth,discarding self-interests,and standing aloof from worldly success!
And i couldn't help but wonder why would anyone be like a brook,running downhill and letting go of fame,money,name to become part of the lowest mass. They always urge you to be different,be unique,to find yourself,to stand out. And here they talk about going in the opposite direction.Starting from the top and ending up at the ocean's surface where it cant be seen for what it is.
If i follow this path,what will become of me.What becomes of that brook?
The ocean heats up by the sun's rays,the water evaporates to become clouds and travels to rain at the mountain again.
Well played God,well played!
Everybody in this world is striving for three basic things, consciously or un-consciously. Money,fame,power.We all run after them as they run away from us.Like shadows do when you follow them.Turn your back on them and they follow you.
I remember taking a session where the speaker told us of a story of Moses. He told us that God asked Moses "What's in your hand?". "My staff?",he replied. Then came the rejoined that still shakes me to my core."Drop it and I will make miracles happen".This incident represents the time when Moses threw his staff on the ground and it turned into a giant snake.This was the very staff was later destined to split Nile into two.
When Moses answered God's question.The staff represented his identity-he was known to carry it,his income-as he used it to control his sheep,his influence-as he was a shepherd.
Drop it and I will make miracles happen
Wouldn't we be really unique if we take the road not pursued by masses.To flow in the direction opposite to the known.
But the key to all that we long for is deceptively simple and hard to achieve.Who has the courage to take the prescribed road,give up everything and trust in God to take him back to the mountain? To relieve yourself of constant worry for these three needs,to embrace equality and let go of yourself. To forget what you've learned to never forget. As yet,i don't.
I hope and pray that someday i achieve it,like so many honorable people have.
