Saving The Moon

#

You know my friend Pratibimba, He is a big man, but sometimes he behaves like a child and too naive about the reality around. Once upon a time, It was the day of the festival and late evening and he was traveling through a forest Long he traveled and feeling thirsty.

Soon he found a well He thought he can make some arrangements to fetch the water But for that, he needs to know how deep is the well. He saw inside the well. He found there is clean water but the well is deep.

While looking in the well he realized moon is inside the well. He felt sad, how this moon has fallen in this forest well! Nobody is around here and probably this moon is waiting for me to help and take him out.

Pratibimba is a very kind, helpful and moral person He was worried about the moon Not only that, today is the festival and people are waiting for the moon to break their fast People in the world may not be aware that today the moon is in trouble and it will not come.

My friend was worried about the people how will they break their fast if they don’t see the moon? Now he realized he had a big responsibility to save both humanity and moon.

He took the challenge and started doing his planning to take moon out of the well. Soon he found a rope, put a knot to the rope To tie and bring back the moon.

The rope went inside but stuck to some stone. It was dark so he couldn’t see but soon he realized while he is pulling the rope is heavy it means moon is hooked to his rope.

He pulled the rope and the rope broke He falls back on the ground and had some head injuries Thirsty he was, so became unconscious for sometime.

After sometime when he came to his consciousness He saw the moon is in the sky. Although, he was tired and injured but he felt very happy that Finally because of my efforts moon is saved and people are able to break their fast and celebrate the festival.

It was me to whom god used to serve humanity. It was me to whom god used to save the poor and helpless moon. I am such a religious and upright person that next life I will be Prophet or Thirthankar or incarnation of Vishnu.

You may be laughing at my friend’s state of mind In fact, I also laughed when he told me this. But soon after he left, I asked myself how many times we try to solve the problem which doesn’t exist or which we created? And then wait for appreciation, recognition and award for solving such problems.

Our morality, uprightness, and efforts to save the world is nothing but our own madness. A problem exists because we exist and the way we think. A problem exist becayse we think others are the problem and I am the solution.

A problem exists because we think people are asking my help so there must be serious real problem.

People cry in their suffering Because they feel they have lost which was theirs.

People laugh in their joy Because they feel they have got something which was not theirs.

O Chaitanya, take a deep 3 deep breaths and think from where you started your journey and where you stand today?

Think about the problem which you are trying to solve Is it really a problem or you are ballooning it unnecessarily? Is this problem created by others or you yourself created that out of your own desire to enjoy the world and avoid the suffering.
