Have you ever noticed how the flame of a lamp flickers sometimes, even though there is enough oil in the lamp and yet no wind is blowing.
Question raised. What is it disrupting the smooth flow & glow of flame?
Way out is simple. Just squeeze out the excessive oil and let the wick burn with just a residual touch of oil and the flow of oil & glow of flame is smooth onward.
The above is just an apt example of how we function, Given all favorable situation and our efforts, still things don't work. The reason being excessive of what is required, the fuel. The fuel is our passion which drives us into action. The favorable situation are like wind factor or right amount of oil in the lamp .What is the disrupting factor here is excessive oil in the wick or having excessive passion brings high expectation, agitates the mind and attachment to result defeats the purpose of passion. Instead of work oriented action, we channel our energies in a disruptive way through the delusion of being in charge of everything by being over passionate about our result. Its not just efforts or congenial atmosphere to make things happen, but it is pertinent to reiterate that there is a higher force in action preceding your intention of action,
The myth we tend to carry about doer ship needs to be addressed and dismissed. The biggest reason to label it as a myth that we are in charge of our efforts and we have the right to expect result we deserve is the very fact that there are so many factors working at different levels which is beyond our control. Unable to see this reality or universal truth is again due to Maya or delusion of being in charge.
Cut short to moral of the story is that if we can function simply with this awareness that we are just a part of the whole universe and our role is limited as compared to whole game plan of the Cosmos. Being able to embrace this is what can help us come out of this Maya or delusion is the mantra
