Interesting …………..

 

Friends, do you know how parrots are caught in the jungles? A thin

rope is tied across two supports. The moment a parrot comes and sits

on the rope, it immediately hangs upside down because, the rope turns

due to the parrot's weight.

 

Now, the upside-down hanging parrot feels that it is badly caught,

its

feet are entangled and there is no way to get away. In fact, it is

the

parrot who is clutching the rope tightly, the rope is not holding it

at all. But logically the parrot feels, " The rope has turned me

upside

down hence I am caught, the rope must be holding me! "

Thus the parrot stays hanging. It tries in all possible ways to

straighten itself up, so that it can fly away, but the parrot is

unable to manage to do so, because the rope is very light compared to

the weight of the parrot. No matter how much it tries, it always

swings back to its upside-down position. Thus, the more the parrot

tries, the more it gets convinced that simply there is no way of

release.

 

Even if it leaves the grip in its upside-down position it can fly

away

because the rope has not really caught it. If only the parrot could

understand this, it could undo its grip and fly away the same moment.

But it tries first to sit upright, because the parrot has never flown

in an upside-down position, it knows only one way of flying. How is

the parrot hanging upside down to understand that it can also fly

here

and now, and that it is not caught at all? Because it is hanging

upside down it fears that if it leaves the rope it will fall on the

ground and die. So it clutches the rope more tightly. The catcher

thus

finds the parrot hanging there… .!

 

Moral of the Story …..

 

Friends, our sufferings are not clinging to us, but they are our very

own creations. Sufferings come to us only at our own invitation. But

we think, why there is so much suffering, anguish, this vicious cycle

of birth and death, why this ego and how to be free of it, etc.,

etc.?

But in reality we ourselves go on imposing the sufferings on us. We

are already free, but have managed to remain in bondage like the

parrot on the rope. Our consciousness is more or less in the same

situation.

 

The greatest illusion is that, as if this whole cosmic arrangement

goes on running just for us, but we all are nothing but a parrot

hanging upside down on a rope! The reasons for the creation of this

illusion are more or less the same as those for the parrot ...!!

 

Let us Enjoy Life Without any Holding or Clinging !
