The Deer
Sirish was a beautiful deer that roamed the forest in the Sahyadri ranges in western ghats. Through out his life he could smell a sweet smell around him.
He spoke to a couple of animals in the forest. Do you smell that perfume? he asked. All the other animals ridiculed him. Some said, he was hallucinating, some said he was mad and many just behaved nicely in front of him and ridiculed him in his absence.
Years passed by..the perfume smell only got stronger and Sirish had learned through experience to keep it to himself.
The window to a beautiful life
I would like to share with my readers, an incident that is supposed to have actually happened during the days of Buddha, the modern God of self-realization.
People and opinions - Hand in glove
This is not a story. I am writing about something that has occured to me of the so many interactions I have had with people. It makes me wonder.
Let me share an incident with you that triggered this thought in me....
One of the days at office my collegues and I were having an aimless chat when we decided to listen to one of the audio narrations of Deepak Chopra, who happens to be a powerful speaker on spirituality and its essence.
The Cuckoo and Peacock
A Cuckoo and Peacock were best of pals. Every time both of them met, the Peacock used to show its beautiful dance to the Cuckoo. Slowly, but steadily, the Peacock became very popular in School, in the neighborhood, in the club.
The Cuckoo was happy for its friend but very dejected. The Cuckoo went through a depression - it was dark and not as beautiful as the Peacock. It wanted to dance as gracefully as the Peacock.
Science and Spirituality
Lets take an example of how science and spirituality will deal with a situation and then proceed to understand the differences or similarities between them, if any.
Let us for our example study 'Hunger' as the subject. Science, tries to understand how hunger pangs develop, how our body and mind is able to know hunger, what physical changes happen within our stomach and what communication takes place through our nerves. That's science for us.
Being spiritual is nothing great
For all those who pride themselves in being very spiritual and look down upon others who arent, I would like to ask you a few questions.
1) Is Fire going to burn you any less because you are spiritual?
2) Is water going to wet us any more because we are not spiritual?
