I was baby sitting a small child in Indore and had to stand, run, jog, hide, tease, please, shout, scream, mollify but sit for his entertainment. He is the boss. The master. I had got into interpreting every mischief of the child. Intelligent. Huh!! The child extremely naughty, rocketing with energy commanding me to be like him & me guiding him to be like me. His ways of joy are very simple.
Whether it is wiping his chocolate immersed hands all over my kurta, or running in the hall of 10 * 10 feet size with me catching on, or easily interrupting a conversation – this is excitement. Imagine. Visualize. Feel it..
His world is simple, joyful amusing & very energetic. We define it as different. I thought about why was I getting stressed with an energy bulb besides me. It was time for me to contemplate & learn from this tiny creature that I was evaluating and governing him to be the way I am comfortable with. This tiny ‘friend’ of mine eroded my perception of reality & comfort.
The difference between reality and ‘my’ perception of reality is called stress. The more the stress the more the distorted is the perception. And as Guruji says ‘
Illusion is error of perception and knowing illusion as illusion is Knowledge. Our experience of the world is based on perception. Since every perception is erroneous, the world is an illusion. Experiences are all of perception. The experiencer is the only reality. Look for the seer, the experiencer, in between experiences. Every experience leaves a hangover and clouds the intellect. Wake up this moment. ‘
Life is joy, life is love, life is enthusiasm. Did anyone tell him this? He lives it.
Learn it. Live it. Share it.
So next time…Happy Baby Sitting!!
