On desires and decisions – Me,
My Guru
Crow, Parrot and other birds
As usual I came late. My gang
had that mischievous grin as they saw me. What could I do? I never wanted to be
late but things always happened that way. But these friends of mine never
understood that point. Not that they judged me on that either, just that they
laughed everytime I tried to justify my ‘late coming’ with genuine reason. Not
once did they say ‘it’s not your fault’. It pinched me a bit – not the hurtful
way but in a guilty sort of way!
The session was in progress as
I joined them.
In a certain forest lived a
crow and a parrot and both were black and simple birds. Parrot saw itself in
the water and felt it deserved to be more beautiful and pleaded to God to make
it beautiful. Its prayer was listened to and then lo! It got its beautiful
coloured body!
And today crow flies freely in
the sky and the ‘beautiful parrot’ is caged.
As you see neither of them is
wrong. Each took a decision and lived with the consequence. When we take a
decision, we take into consideration one aspect of our desire and do it, but
the price is paid for the decision as whole.
Divine or Universe assigns us
a role for some reason. With that plan in mind, it places us accordingly in
some set up and with same set of people. But as we don’t see its plan due to
ignorance or our desires, we plan our life as per our wishes and desires. On
that process we end up healing and praying for the same. It is not wrong.
Neither does it mean that it is right. It just is! Well, if we pray contrary to
our role as in Divine plan, then Divine does listen
and Act accordingly and fulfills our wish – a la’ parrot case. Then,
when our wish is fulfilled our fate falls in line with our new state of
existence like parrot being caged. That is when we complain again. Now both God
and Universe are confused. You’ve asked for something and when it is given also
‘you suffer with your wish being fulfilled’ that’s the tragedy of events.
