When I look back, I see my life as a steady mountain, strong and firm. Like a mountain is very solid and stable similarly something in me is very stable and not changing. Something in me is unshaken. This unshaken thing is faith.
When I look back, I see my life as a calm and peaceful lake. The water in the lake is very peaceful. It has very serene environment around the lake similarly my life is very peaceful and serene. The outer attachments does not affect me. I am untouched by them.
When I look back, I see my life as a vast sky. The vastness of the sky shelters everything - rivers, trees, mountains, deserts everything. Similarly my life shelters many relations. It has many responsibilities and wears different coats at different times.
But in reality, life is above these all. It is neither river nor mountain nor lake nor sky. It is all energy which is pervading in different forms at different times. Life has a different taste and flavors at different times. We should only know how to channelize these energy in the right direction and than you see that the life becomes like a blossoming lotus and an instrument of love :)
