Our daily life is sometimes filled with stress and strain. We do not connect with our blissful nature. Bliss is our true nature. Everything else is temporary and false. Listen to this story.
A housewife had sent her children to school and was busy cleaning the house. She had a long list of things to do. It was tiring her to do so much work so early in the morning.
When she thought of how much work she had, she felt sorry for herself. To add to her problems, in the middle of the work, she heard the doorbell and was annoyed at being disturbed.
"Who could it be now?" she wondered. "I
have so much to do. I hope they will go
away soon." She stopped her work and
opened the door.
Standing on her doorstep were two
preachers.
One of the preachers said, "Good morning madam. I am sure you have a few minutes to spare." "We can teach you how to live life eternally," said the other preacher. The housewife was outraged! "No! Please don't. As it is, I work all day and night. In fact, I don't think I can even stand this life another day let alone living it eternally!"
She slammed the door shut and returned to finish her work.
Master says, "When we work out of great inspiration and overflowing energy, nothing will be hard to do and life will be a joyful experience. If we work out of improper understanding and frustration, life itself will become an unpleasant experience. Understand: life is a great celebration. Just celebrate with the right understanding."
