It feels challenging to carry on our backs a huge boulder and struggle to take a few steps forward, isn’t it? This is the same case when a person shoulders the past memories, incidents in his system and trotters his way. It’s so simple, just drop the boulder of the past and walk freely…may be even fly then.
There is a catch here. Yes, you guessed it right. The boulder has not been placed by anyone else, except we ourselves. Since, the culprit is us, why not speak to ourselves and ward off this burden we are carrying throughout? Let’s have a deeper look at this issue.
In certain tribal villages, the hunters use a technique to catch the parrots. A stick is tied to 2 tree barks using a rope at either ends. The stick hangs loosely as its ends are tied to threads. Our friend, the parrot comes and sits on the stick and becomes topsy-turvy. Now, it panics what to do. It feels it will fall and die if it lets go of the stick, only not realizing that it can fly when left loose.
The parrot holds tighter onto the stick and waits for the hunter to have his take-away for his meal!
The parrot is us and the hunter is the Lord of death, Yama. We are afraid to let go of our past conditionings and memories, fearing we may fall and die. Only, when we let go, can we see the grandeur of the power to fly untouched. We literally wait for the Lord of death to come near us, at which time, we have to let go, but would have spent all our life in holding on to our conditionings tighter and tighter.
Let’s drop it and fly free to see the world and life differently.
