“When you search for the water in the crust of earth, you have to send the pipeline through the rubble which is in-between the surface & water. That rubble includes a lot of things like stones, mud, sand etc. You have to take a lot of efforts to reach to the water. Water is a symbol of fulfillment & satisfaction. In other words, if you want this fulfillment; you have to work hard & smart as well.” The teacher stated her point with utter clarity. That was the best example to explain the stuff appropriately, I thought.
She further added, “Some of us have not even started to dig for the water yet. They are very much confused about their lives. Once they start digging, they will find the solutions for their all questions. They’re either afraid of doing it or they lack the confidence & curiosity to search for it. This negative mindset is the arch rival of satisfaction. I hope you understand it; we will now move on to the next topic” she said with a smile on her face. And I could feel the wisdom behind that smile.
We are often too busy to look inside. We search for the solutions in the virtual space of world; whereas, we have the solutions deep inside our minds. The pursuit of happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment will come to an end when we will know that these things are a part of ourselves. I remember a very special quote regarding to this topic. ‘Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.’ After reading this quote for several times, I came to know the value of that thought.
All the things that we face in our lives are buried under the surface of our minds in the form of experiences & prejudices & fears. Whenever we try to do something new; we can’t go beyond the layer of these experiences. And then we start searching for the happiness, satisfaction outside. One thing we don’t understand is that, we have to get the pipe through this rubble to reach the fulfillment that is down-under.
Digging through the fears & experiences can be very painful at sometimes. Because, we don’t want to enter the past. Nobody wants to get into crap of past. But, if we can’t surpass that rubble, it will go increasing. It will just get dumped over the surface. And after a short period, it will create mountains which will be very difficult to dig through.
So, it is very essential to search for the fulfillment as early as possible. When you reach at the bottom, you find your own self which has suppressed under the burdens of things that are piled together. You will come to know the false image you’ve created of yourself over a period. The virtual happiness that used to linger around you every now & then will get vanished & true happiness will take its place.
The person who can’t reach his self is the most unfortunate person on earth. Because once you know who you are, you can really change your life. And believe me; the sacred water of self purifies you. It doubles your joy & minimizes your pain.
Today the world is left with hardly a few sources of ‘sacred water’ that can actually satisfy your thirst. And, it has become mandatory to search for the water within. But instead of that, we are searching for it outside. Start digging today & throw all the rubble off, May you reach the happiness & fulfillment very soon.
