An Astonishing Secret
We
call something astonishing or wonderful which is not ordinary. But if
the same event happens every day, then we do not call it a wonder
because we do not find anything really astonishing about it. When you
suddenly see something different to what you usually see, then you say
‘Oh! This is surprising! This is a wonder’. So a secret is also like
that. It is out of the ordinary. A mango tree will only bear mangoes as
fruits. This is no secret. A coconut tree only bears coconuts. Is there
anything secret about that? But if one day you see a mango growing from
a coconut tree, then it is a wonder. You would say, ‘This is a miracle!
It is such an astonishing thing to happen. It is extraordinary. If you
observe carefully, many astonishing events are happening all the time
and everywhere in this creation, and throughout Nature. But you need a
special kind of vision to be able to see these astonishing events.We
have to change the way we see things (meaning to shift towards a broad
vision). That is called Yoga. It is said, when you see this creation
from the perspective of Yoga, you find everything so wondrous; so
astonishing. And even more astonishing than this is how everything in
this creation is a manifestation of that which cannot be seen; a
manifestation of the unmanifest consciousness! Everything in this
creation has come out of empty space.|| Jai Guru Dev ||
