Stop to smell the roses, have faith that all that happens, happens for the best.God is in his heaven and all’s right with the world.
Difficult, you would say during this time of strife and suffering.But ask yourself, was there a time in recorded history when mankind was free of suffering?
They say that life repeats the challenges that you don’t learn from, till you learn your lesson from them.We simply are refusing to learn the lesson that life is trying to teach us.
A bit of a conundrum we are for our creator – we are like the puppies who want to simply roam free without a care, knowing that the mother is there to protect them. There is a saying in marathi for this “Dharla tar chawta, sodla tar palta” meaning if you try to catch it, it bites. If you let it go, it runs…
Without learning our lesson, we can’t go to the next stage of evolution and the lesson that life is trying to teach is that we are not using the faculties that essentially make us human, instead we are still relying on our animal instincts. We have a capacity for compassion, for love, for large scale co-operation but instead of using these faculties, we are still in the mindset of each one fending for oneself…
C19 is just another test sent our way to check our readiness for the next level of evolution or the test simply repeats after some time…
Don’t worry this too shall pass but would we have learnt our lesson? this, even God doesn’t know…
