The Highest Realisation

Have you observed nature in complete awareness? Do you breathe consciously? Lots of things are happening to us and with us and we don’t even realise that these things are happening! In nature, trees grow, flowers bloom, butterflies do their job and so do the bees – it is so natural, it is just happening. It is like life has its own symphony and the musician keeps playing the music and changing the tunes, so that no day appears the same!

We are so stuck up in our own life that we do not see the beauty of nature and its cadence as it plays out day after day. We are stuck in our ‘problems’ and we cannot see beyond them. Our mind is focused on things of material, financial and emotional interest to us, very few of us find the time to enjoy the sunrise and sunset and the beauty in nature between the two.

Everything in nature is happening according to God’s will. Everything. God is the force behind everything. We are just puppets in the hands of God, he pulls the strings and we dance to his tune. Once we accept that we are all puppets then there is no point in worrying about the role we are playing, is there? Play whatever role has been assigned to you by His Grace, no role is big or small, just play the role given to you. If you accept this unconditionally, then you are surrendering to God’s will, with this realisation and by knowing this truth, you become free. You are not worried about where you are headed, where you are, what you are doing!

It does not matter whether you are single or married or divorced or living together or living as a recluse and don’t worry about what kind of life is good for you. Whatever role you have been assigned, just play that role with complete faith and confidence and you will realise that you find happiness in just playing the role and going with the flow.

All this is possible if you know one little secret. We are all like tops and God – the only player - has the strings. He simply winds the string around and pulls it, and then we spin. Depending on how tightly the string is wound and how powerfully God pulls the string, you rotate according to that power and when the energy in the spinning top dies, then you fall down.

It is not how you present yourself, or what your job is, or what you call yourself that’s important. The most important thing is: knowing that you are nothing but a top and that at any moment you could stop spinning. That is the highest realisation. Know that every moment you are spinning because of His Presence and Grace that is in you, functioning through you and you are nothing but an instrument.
