This is the answer …
Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads, there lived a little water beetle in a community of water beetles.
They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond.
Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again. They knew when this happened; their friend was dead, gone forever.
Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urge, a desire to follow his heart, to climb up that stem.
However, he was determined that he would not leave forever. He would come back and tell his friends what he had found at the top.
When he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so warm, that he decided he must take a nap. As he slept, his body changed and when he woke up, he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying.
So, fly he did!
In our life too, when a human finds an irresistible urge to evolve, the nature pushes them forward towards the journey of a divine human being.
Coming back to our story; as the dragon fly soared he saw the beauty of a whole new world and a far superior way of life to what he had never known existed. Then he remembered his beetle friends and how they were thinking by now he was dead.
He wanted to go back to tell them, and explain to them that he was now more alive than he had ever been before. His life had been fulfilled rather than ended. But, his new body would not go down into the water. He could not get back to tell his friends the good news.
*Realization 1*: _I can’t go back to where I come from._
*Realization 2*: _Somehow, if I go back, they will not recognize me in my new form._
Then he understood that their time would come, when they, too, would know what he now knew.
*Realization 3*: _If I hadn’t chose to give up the comfort or being a regular water beetle I would have never become a dragon fly._
Humans too have the potential to evolve, it’s a long, guided process, and the transformation is no less than magic. But are we willing to give up our comfort zone?
The dragonfly raised his wings and flew off into his joyous new life. However, he wanted to inspire his friends down below to realize their potential. And so the dragon fly hovered above the little pond every now and then hoping that someday, someone will follow their heart, leave their comfort zone, and move forward to fly into a joyous new life!
Similarly, a Master lives with us, as a living example of inspiration. He’s the dragonfly who is guiding us to follow our heart.
*Realization 4*: _Live a life of inspiration so that people around you get inspired to come up._
The Nature has beautiful lessons and realizations everywhere if we simply witness.
