The Family
“The world is one big family, God is the Father, Nature the Mother, and we the siblings. Sometimes we wrong the mother, father reacts, sometimes we ignore the father, mother reacts. Most of the times we fight one another, both react. But they, being parents, when father is annoyed, mother rescues, and when mother is annoyed, father intervenes. And so we barely manage. This is the state today. There is a possibility of all being harmonized, if only the siblings grow up and realise the strength of a happy family. We must set aside our differences, and convince our parents of our maturity, in order to share their abundance. This way, thought the snake, even while we live in these mortal frames, earth can assume the bliss of Heaven, otherwise, we are already facing the anguish of hell.
(From The Yogi and the snake)
Last year we saw the flood havoc in Rishikesh. This year, my own state Jammu & Kashmir has been Besieged in the most unimaginable flooding.Prayers go out to all the people .May Shiva be kind.There is a very old story when Kali, upset with the world goes on rampage, to destroy it, but Shivji intervenes to stop her from complete destruction. And my mind flew back to my own writings in The Yogi and the snake.
