We, humans, are ever willing to don the cloak of spirituality. Are we drawn to it because it is trending? Because it does come with a status symbol? Or are we simply behaving like bugs that surround a light source.
The moment the cloak is donned, our true divine nature is conveniently forgotten. What shines through is our arrogance, our ignorance, our insecurity, our foolishness, our impatience, our unreasonable demands and expectations.
We refuse to accept Andy, Muniyandy and Affendi are just small parts in the whole universal drama, played and forgotten faster than a blink of an eye. We are adamant not to see that the true essence in all three are from the same source, that the temporary labels and identities were placed on them only after their birth, that we too didn’t carry any labels until we were born, that we were even gender less before arriving, that we are deeply connected with mother Gaia and all of her children.
We readily claim we represent peace, love and compassion; yet, not a single drop of tears will roll down our cheeks when we watch the annihilation of few hundred innocent souls. We jump in to defend our sect; even to the point of categorizing and prioritizing the order of killing; disappointingly, not remembering even for a nanosecond the teaching of “compassion for all living beings”. What a powerful cloak it is!
No other act of patience has surpassed the patience of mother earth. We, the children of mother earth, do have that advantage. So, let us continue donning the great Cloak of Spirituality.
For me my role is not to dominate my environment, but to become a complementary part of it. And every day, I understand my role just a little better, and sometimes even discover new facets of my role that I did not comprehend before.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY EVERYONE ! CHEERS :)
