Every moment of our life opens us to opportunity to respond to higher calling. We are born into this world armed with a particular calling and unique reason for being. Wayne Dyer and other great avater of our time use to say that there are no accident,every thing happens for a reason and it serves us. If that is true, where and how do we loose track of this calling?
When we are born as you will notice in the eyes of a newly born baby, we see the innocence and awe that child emit and it evokes a kind of feeling in us, many a time we dismiss this wonderful recollection by been drawn into the thoughts to what the child will become according to the context of achieving and lost what the child is in its nature. We swing into action, bombarding the child with the does and donts, the right and wrongs, how to what and how not to what fitting the child into the matrix of birth,growing up,go to school, get good grade, get a high paying job,get married, give birth to children, grow old and die. We never take the time to watch this child when it is on its own. We dismiss the questions they 'childishly' ask before they turn to the age five. We drown them into our own Ideal of what life should be,forgetting that there is a creator to that child, like Wayne Dyer puts it "thank you God for this child, can you please set aside for us to carry on from here". He calls EGO(edging god out).
I am not saying that training up a child to learn what is good or bad is not ok, what I mean is following the child way of growing, just like the christain blibical writing put it "train a child the way He(not you) should go". Meaning that within us, the creator had set a song that we are here to play and until we play that song we will never find fulfilment. St. Augustine new it when he said you will never rest until you rest in God. Until we find within us that song the creator planted in us we will never be fulfilled.
The matrix of life had so narrowed our perception of seeing anything other than the now. We get robbed in ambition pursuit that qualify our lives by what we have, what I can acquire, what they want me to be, their expectations of me, how I can fit in and etc. To that level we become human doing as Dyer will put it. Tagore wrote "I have spent my day stringing and un stringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remain unsung". The matrix of life so choke us from seeing that we can to this earth to realise our being.
Tagore said that man's happiness is not in getting anything but in giving himself up to what is greater than himself, to ideas which are larger than his individual life, the idea of his country,of humanity. Jesus made it clearer by saying "seek ye the kingdom of God...and every other thing shall be added unto you" and in another place completed it "the kingdom of God is within you". The kingdom within is what we are here to realise. We are spiritual being on a journey to discover our nature,our unique ability and to serve humanity. The Shift from this matrix of ambition to a life of meaning is bliss.
This life of meaning continue to call us even when we had lost it, it seek us always gently waiting for us to respond to it. "I stand at the door of your heart and knock any one who hears and opens I will come and make a home with him". How can one knock at your door and the person inside will not hear? Ya the person inside may be asleep, listening to a song with the volume very high or being drawn away by thoughts. So also this call manifest itself every day to us in events,circumstance and people(in good and bad). What is it? How do I know this song?. Well the answer is closer to you than you can think.
First of all let's find out who we are. The only way to find our nature is to look at our source. Who is God? From all my research my best answer for now is that God is the source and sustain er of all life. the Source made us in his image and likeness that is to be like him and act like him. So it is also right to say that we are the expression of the source, that is we are collaboration to the giving and sustaining of all life.God manifest himself through his creation and the height of it is of course us. We are then spiritual being that think with the mind, feel with the heart and manifest in the body. What are we here to do? We are here to discover and manifest our unique ability. Our unique ability manifest as the questions we ask as children. They are the things that when we do it gives us utmost joy and when left undone we fill pain. You see just like the story of Mother Teresa,whenever she attend to the sick and dying she feels great and when undone she feels bad. This call bring us everything we need to fulfil it at the right time, we only need to trust and let the Divine that we share in lead us to places and people that will help us accomplish it. It gives meaning to our jobs. Our jobs are not who we are,they are the vehicle we need to manifest our calling. Mother Teresa calling is to help the poor, she used the vehicle of nursing to achieve it. If only we can guild our children to discover their song and give them different vehicle(profession) options to choose from in other to see the unique talent grow, the world will be a better place. As I saw the movie the Shift by Wayne, I feel that call echo again and again and the surge to move on ignited in me. The Divine said I will be with until the end of time. Make that shift today.Every moment of our life opens us to opportunity to respond to higher calling. We are born into this world armed with a particular calling and unique reason for being.
