Think about it. When you go to a banquet, you conduct yourself in a dignified manner. The waiters from the hotel or the host's side, bring you different refreshments and beverages. You take them one a
t a time. Possibly, you nibble at some. Ignore some. And decline a few others. You don't show any sense of urgency or avarice at what does come your way or does not come your way. You go with the 'flow' of the banquet. Behaving in an accepting, dignified and polished manner. Why?Because you want to be perceived as one who is aesthetic, dignified and well-mannered by your host. Right?
Now think of who is hosting you in the banquet called life? Are you behaving with the same about of stoic calm and acceptance with what comes your way in life? If not, why not?
The truth is that we think this life is because of us. Instead of realizing that it is in spite of us. Why cannot we conduct ourselves in life the way we would at a banquet? Choosing what comes our way and never displaying undue urgency or greed in making our choices. You enjoy a banquet when your host enjoys having you over. Similarly, in this banquet called life, don't you want your host, the Universal Source of Energy (or God or whatever you call it), to enjoy having you over? Think about it.
The Learnings:
1. In this banquet called life, choose intelligently from what comes your way.
2. Avoid both undue urgency and greed.
3. Behave in a manner in which the Universal Host (the Creator) enjoys having you over!
