My Significance

#

One day, I came out of my apartment Went one a long travel to the mountains Here I am standing at the feet of a mountain There is a peak where I wish to go.

With my efforts, I could reach on the mountain top after six hours But after reaching there I found Many larger mountains than on which I was standing.

All these tall looking mountains standing on earth But, If one could put all these mountains in an ocean Then they all will disappear, this is their smallness. And, all the ocean resting on the earth

This earth is rotating around the sun Sun rotating around the galaxies. Stars, Planets, Galaxies are eaten by black-hole And many black-holes exist in space.

If this whole space is like a one million years old banyan tree who had many leaves, branches, and fruits in the past today it has the same number of leaves, branches & fruits. But, are these same leaves, branches & fruits for million years?

On this huge banyan tree there are millions of fruits hanging today My significance is not more than a seed inside the fruit of this tree. In the size that is how big I am.

Is there any specific seed, fruit, leaf, or branch more important in this million years old tree?

If a particular seed wants to pray to this tree does it help the tree? Can a particular seed revolt against the tree? If a seed revolt then how does it impact the tree?

If a specific seed decides to live long face life while living on the tree? Does the tree get impacted?

What if a specific seed decide to live a joyful life on the tree? Does the tree become happy?

What if a specific seed thinks I am very special on this tree? I should get special treatment And special treatment from all other seeds, fruits, leaves, and branches of this tree. Whom does this seed making fool?

In a life of millions of years the tree has seen many seeds like me who are happy or unhappy.

They come and go but the tree remains What a fuss is this that I am a special seed need special treatment on this tree otherwise, I will destroy others around me and this tree as well.

The tree has seen, many fools like me who come out from it remain there for a couple of years rest on a some remote far branch and finally, go the ground and become manure for the tree

Perhaps for the tree, they are more useful when they become manure for the tree.

O Pratibimba, how can an insignificant seed become significant while living inside the fruit on the tree?

O Hari, seed need to go in the ground finish himself and become another tree That is the only way. But then seed does not know I am a seed or branch or fruit It knows I am a million old tree.

So an insignificant becomes most significant when it is finished and loses its identity with smallness or bigness A seed becomes significant when it knows there is no second to compete. I am the one and basis of all.

O Pratibimba, perhaps I got it. I am a small seed on this tree If I keep aside this physical body and live like an eternal being Then am I that million old tree?
