Me, My Guru - On purpose of Life - 2
Today the cups in which tea was
served were beautiful. They were of different colours and shapes.
“So, what is wrong in doing that?”
asked I.
“There is nothing wrong in it. It
is acceptable that you have good taste. But, what you need to understand here
is something different. What is the main thing here? The cup or the tea? Are we
here to drink tea or relish holding fancy cups in our hands?” our guru posed
the million-dollar question!
And she continued “Well, you see,
the purpose of drinking tea is dependent on the TEA and not on the cup. And yet,
we valued the cup more than the tea. If it had been the tea we were hung on,
then we would have selected the plain cup too!
Similarly, in life too we are
more bothered about the cups rather than the tea!
The cups here represent our wealth,
possessions, house, jobs, life partner and so on. However fanciful one’s were,
it seemed dull in comparison to the other. What actually mattered to all was –
the TEA! Tea here was LIFE itself! That was
the same for everyone. And yet, we didn’t look at life. We didn’t think or
spend time in relishing tea – a.k.a. life! We were all bothered about the cup
that held the ‘tea’.
Cups shouldn’t matter!
Realize that!
Only TEA DOES! Know that! And to
relish tea is within your reach. Work on that.
Start living your life.
Even if you don’t find your ‘POL’
or ‘Ikigai’, you’ll still have lived life to the fullest this way!
Know what matters at the end!
