Life's at work on you continuously.
Life's like an artisan-sculptor-miner who's
chipping away, digging, at times even polishing, to get you to the gold__to get
you to the real you. Every event, opportunity or ordeal is Life's way to purify
you so that the real you emerges: cleansed and resplendent. So submit yourself
to Life. And yes, one more thing: just make sure you don't come in your own
way!
We view Life's myriad challenges as part of
a grand conspiracy to suppress or annihilate us. Relax: this ain't any
conspiracy! On the other hand, Life has a grand design for each of us. It is
Life's responsibility to ensure we know ourselves and see ourselves as who we
truly are. Though all of us are born pure, over several years of conditioning,
we have acquired a different hue. We can't even recognize ourselves. Our
insecurities, our anxieties, our greed, have made us cold, bitter and
lusterless. Our simple nature has been overshadowed by a complex craving to be
noticed and understood, our intrinsic selflessness has been held hostage by me-first-ism, our fears suppress our
faith and jealousy prevents us from letting others win.
We must recognize and accept the truth that
we are not in control here. No, not in this lifetime. We are
like passengers on a plane: we have to fasten our seat belts, sit back and
either enjoy or endure the ride. At times it will be calm, sometimes fun; at
some other times there could be turbulence and the journey could be scary. To
enjoy or endure a plane ride is a personal choice. But instead of trying to
take charge, don't we always simply let the pilot to do her job and land us
safely? Do the same with Life too. Stop coming in your
own way. Stop resisting every move of Life. Simply surrender and go with the
flow!
