The Quest Of The Sparrows

by Kartik Sharma

When a helpless sparrow can enjoy this world without a care, why can’t you? Everyone seeks peace and happiness but few find it. Most humans carry some burden or the other on their shoulders. They are always sighing, always wishing for something out of their reach. They are rarely happy, if at all.

‘Sometimes the concern we show for others is our own fear,’ I heard Shruti’s voice through the darkness.

But how would a mother treat a truant son who troubles another noble son of hers? She’ll have to punish him if he doesn’t improve. The Divine is also like a mother to us. He’s neither sadistic nor vengeful.’

We make all the choices and we alone are responsible for the results. No person or circumstance is responsible for what we choose to become.

‘Once we’ve surrendered to the divine self within us, only the best can happen.’

Faith in the higher self was the key.
