Enlightened Message for your Day
"It is not a matter of becoming, but of Being. Remain aware of yourself and all else will be known. The Self is all-pervading" ~Ramana Maharishi
Whenever people become hurried they go on finding more ways to gain more speed. They are continuously on the run because they think that life is running out. These are the people who say, "Time is money." Time is money? Money is very limited; time is unlimited. Time is not money, time is eternity–it has always been there and will always be there. You have always been here and you will always be here. Time is just a small outline containing a much bigger existence. So drop rushing through life, it is an act of violence against yourself. Don’t worry about getting anywhere but more into the here and know. Stop seeking results, just relax into the Now. Sometimes it happens that because of our habitual impatience, we miss the most important of things in life.
The following is an ancient Hindu parable for you… enjoy!
A great saint, Narada, was going to paradise. He used to travel between paradise and earth. He functioned like a postman between that world and this world.
One day he was on a bridge and saw an ancient sage, very old, sitting under a tree and repeating his holy mantra. He had been repeating this mantra for many years and many lifetimes. Narada asked him, "Would you like to ask about something? Would you like me to give some message of yours to God?"
The old man opened his eyes and said, "Just inquire about one thing: how much longer do I have to wait? How long? Tell God it is too much! For many lives I have been doing this mantra, now how long am I expected to do it? I am tired of it! I am bored with it. I want enlightenment already!"
Now underneathe the next tree was a young man with an ektara, a one-stringed instrument, playing it and dancing joyfully. Narada asked him jokingly, "Would you also like to inquire about how long it will take for your enlightenment to happen?" But the young man did not even bother to answer. He continued his dance.
Narada asked again, "I am going to visit God, do you have any requests at all or any message you’d like me to deliver?" The young man laughed and continued to dance.
Narada came back a few days later and told the old man, "God said that you will have to wait at least three lives more." The old man became so angry that he threw his mantra beads. He almost hit Narada! And he said, "This is nonsense! I have been waiting so long and have been doing all the right things, all kinds of austerities–chanting, fasting, and all forms of rituals. I have fulfilled all the requirements. Three lives–this is riduculous, and absolutely unfair!"
Narada looked over and saw the young man was still dancing under his tree, very joyously. Narada was afraid to say anything, but still he went and told him, "Although you did not ask, out of my own curiosity I wanted to know. When God said that that old man would have to wait three lives, I had to inquire about you. And God said, ‘Ah yes that young man dancing–to experience enlightenment he will have to wait as many lives as there are leaves on the tree under which he is dancing.’"
And the young man started singing and dancing even more joyously and he said, "Just as many leaves as are on this tree? Then it is not very far away, it’s as if I have already arrived! Just compare how many trees there are on the whole earth. Only one tree left, it is soooo very close! Thank you, thank you, sir, it is a blessing that I have so much time to enjoy my life!"
And the young man danced the entire day long. Later on that evening the young man had a great awakening and became instantly enlightened. ~Osho
