THE SAGA OF INSPIRATION IN OUR LIVES!

What I heard in my childhood..

*** Once 3 sculptors were asked on how they felt about their work.. The 1st one said,

• “What else is there to feel other than continuously chipping out this stone!” 

The 2nd one replied with a smile,

• “Yeah! Am bringing out a beautiful angel out of this stone!” 

The 3rd famous sculptor burst out with an awe on his face,

• "Don't you see an angel imprisoned in this stone? I'm just freeing her out!” 

That's how one's inspiration in life truly speaks with

• The 1st one here, having almost zero inspiration in the work he was doing ever seeing the work in front as a burden,

• The 2nd one no doubt having certain inspiration in him to bring out the best but still not lost to his job in the process and

• The 3rd one with an overflowing inspiration endlessly at the back of a single thought of doing only the job in front and nothing else of his self involvement! 

*** Sage Narada ever living with the thought of only His Lord, once asked Lord Krishna at a Sea shore,

• "What is the power of illusion in this world?" 

The Lord smiled and said,

• “I will tell you. I am thirsty presently. Can you fetch me some water from one of the houses seen in distance?”

The Sage immediately went to the near by colony to fetch the water. An attraction in the area instantly held Him, further one involvement led to the other and soon He was permanently into circles of activities around Him..

Soon when the ‘down' followed in his mission, He felt utterly helpless and miserable.. At that point of time, a kind hand touched Him and as He looked up, Lord Krishna was seen smiling saying softly,

• "Dear! Where is the water?” 

*** The world famous scientist looked at his pet with never lessening love who overturned the lamp and burnt out his research papers on the table, smiled and just saying,

• "Oh, dear! What have you done?" 

Cleaned up the mess and further continued regenerating his lost work without a single sigh or remorse feeling!

That's how the inspiration in the world moves on invariably dampened by

The prime needs of life of the individual and
The attractions around him/her

All along

Hard work,
Focus,
Involved approach,
Practice and
Research Remaining part of that Investigation.. Seen thus..

True Inspiration working in the world is a fact but

The survival forces and the enchanting entities around

Constantly dampen that spirit to come out freely and thus

Man is eternally chained many times..

No despair,

None is less here,

Every individual is charged forever internally

Sufficiently,

Well in excess and

Truly in abundance

By the Grace of

The Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient One

As man takes birth on the earth to find out

The Ultimate.. 

In that long journey, 

Finding the lesser is never a problem for the man at the back of 

The Original Inspiration 

Which no doubt comprises of 

The eternal questioning in the individual thru' 

'Why, Where, What, When, Which, Who and How' 

All along!
