Dear Friend,
May this find you well and happy. ********************************* This part 4 of your 15 segment weekly email course which you requested on "CONTEMPORARY PARABLES" taken from the book with the same name with 94 similar parables and illustrations. If you like the material you are receiving, you definitely enjoy the whole book by Robert Elias Najemy which can be found as a pdf ebook at http://HolisticHarmony.com/ebooks/index.asp May you enjoy and benefit from it. ********************************** THE BIRD ON THE BRANCH Once a tired bird rested on a branch for support. He enjoyed the view from the branch and the safety it offered him from dangerous animals. Just as he was used to that branch and the support and safety which it offered, a strong wind started blowing and the branch started swaying back and forth, with such great intensity, that it seemed that it was going to break. But the bird was not in the least worried for it knew two important truths. One was that even without the branch he was able to fly and thus remain safe through the power of his own two wings. The second was that there were many other branches upon which he could temporarily rest. This small example represents the ideal relationship between man and his possessions, relationships and social and professional positions. Man has the right to enjoy these possessions, relationships and present positions. He can enjoy their support and comfort and whatever they have to offer him in his development. But he need not fear when they seem to waver under him and appear to be disappearing. For they are all in a state of change and can disappear at any time. His real strength dose not lie in those external ephemeral things, but rather on his two internal wings, LOVE and WISDOM. These must become his security base, his source of enjoyment and happiness. When a man develops real unconditional love and wisdom and the knowledge of truth of the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS which is pervading himself and all beings, unhappiness and fear will be unknown to him. Let us enjoy this material world and not be suppressed by it because of our fear and dependence upon it. When we are dependent on someone or something we eventually become their slave and loose our freedom. THE BLIND VILLAGE AND THE ELEPHANT Once there was a village of blind people. In this village lived a blind king, five blind wise men and the rest of the villagers who also could not see. One day an elephant came trotting heavily into the village, and stood in the village square. All the villagers were quite alarmed and anxious to find out what was this thunderous entity which had entered their village. The king ordered the five wise men to investigate the phenomenon and to report their findings. Each of the five wise men approached the elephant from a different angle. The first came up the elephant's side, and, after feeling it, reported that it was a huge walking, pulsating wall which had come into the village. The second wise man got hold of one of its legs and said it was not a wall but a walking tree trunk, which had come to visit them. The third came upon the tail and rejected the first two opinions, announcing that the truth was that it was a snake. The fourth having grabbed the ear, stated that the truth was that it was a large walking leaf. The fifth who happened to catch hold of the trunk claimed that all previous statements were wrong and that the reality was that it was a large moving house. The wise men and their followers came into intense conflict concerning the reality of what had walked into their village. The blind village represents the present state of spiritual blindness affecting all of humanity. The five wise men represent the various major religions, who, approaching the unseen God from various angles, have experienced God in different ways. In our blind state, we argue about what the reality of God is, when there is ONLY ONE GOD, which is in reality the essence of all beings and things which exist. Why then do we need to fight and argue between ourselves? Each religion is a valid path to the same One God. All are correct. All need to be respected. Each individual may choose the religious path which suits him and move efficiently forward, with love for God and all beings in his heart. Let us not be blind to the truth of Godąs omnipresence even in those who have differing beliefs. Let us open our eyes and see the oneness of all beings.
