"Just Drop"...

+++

Once a crow held on to a prey (piece of food) in its mouth and was flying to a place to sit and eat.  

However, a flock of eagles were chasing it. Crow was anxious and was flying higher and higher, yet eagles were after the poor crow.  

Just then the “Garuda” watched the pain of the crow and came close to the crow and asked, "What’s happening? You seem to be very disturbed and stressed? 

Crow cried "Look at these eagles! They are after me to kill me?" 

Garuda being the bird of wisdom spoke "Oh my friend, they are not after to kill you! They are after that piece of food. Just drop the food.”   

Crow listened to Garuda and dropped the meat, and there you see the eagles flew towards the falling meat from the beak of the crow. 

Garuda smiled and said, "The pain is only till you hold on to it, "Just Drop." 

Crow just bowed and said, "I dropped this piece of meat and now, I own the sky."

There is a message for all of us in life. 

1. People carry the huge burden called "Ego" which creates a false identity about us that we create for ourselves saying, "I need love, I need to be invited, I am so and so, etc…”

“Just Drop and see what happens…” 

2. People get irritated fast by "others actions", it can be my friend, my parents, my children, my colleague, my life partner......and I get the fumes of anger..."

“Just Drop and see what happens…” 

3. People compare them with others in beauty, handsome, life style, marks, talent and appraisals and feel disturbed, comparison, negative emotions. Instead, we must be grateful for what we have…

“Just Drop and see what happens…” 

We are from the Dust & unto Dust we shall return… 

So, let’s not grumble…let’s be humble and we will never stumble. 

Stay Blessed!
