Many of you have heard the story… God created the world. People entered the world, looked around and just wanted to return to God in Heaven and so they did. God was disappointed. No one wanted to enjoy his creation. Therefore he created a key to life so no one could return to Heaven without it. But where to hide it? If on the highest mountain, people would climb up and get it. If at the bottom of the ocean, they would get down there and get it. Then He got an idea that delighted him. He would hide it at the last place anyone would look… in the depth of their being. The idea worked and the world became quite populated.
Though you may have heard the story, you still probably look outside of yourself for fulfillment. It is fine to enjoy life and prosper, but what are you psychologically and emotionally invested in? Or (dare I say?) addicted to? Where do you look for safety, satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment? Your money? A creamier ice cream? An ideal relationship? Family and friends? One sort of boon or another? Or maybe the inside story on the topic of your choosing?
And people wonder why they are not happy.
What are you waiting for? Come on…
Dearest Maharshiji, thank you so much for your continual support and reminders to help us till the soil of our being. I am still loving the enjoyment of life and while I wouldn’t quite say I have “found” the key, my commitment to my morning meditation, reading of a holy text, yoga and today your blog leaves me with great satisfaction, peace and a dive into the depth. I’m looking forward to being in your presence for Guru Purnima, class and summer retreat!
I’m happy at MOUNT SOMA and am evolving with the guidance of a true Master. Look beyond the surface for
your fulfillment and all will fall into place……….
Echoes of truth percieved as truth…is sad enough however I feel that reality is hiding within our karmic oblivion. What is truly sad is the amount of people I know that live their life on either anxiety medicine..depression medicine..alcohol and so on. This is an example of running of the road in a porsche and truly a tragedy. I do feel blessed to have my balance however it is still very difficult to not feel a tug on my heart when I watch the extremly bumpy road that so many find themselves on. I will be looking inward for a long (undetermined) time to discover my “key”
Thank you Maharshiji..my life is also blessed finding you
What are you waiting for? Come on…
Such a well-pointed blog! What am I waiting for? I know it is only my fears holding me back from moving to Mount Soma, yet I cannot quite drop everything and pack the moving van. I guess I’m just not there yet. I’ll keep pushing on the karma as best I can.
