life and death...

There are many who think, "Nothing more for me to do, I’m just moving towards death"! If that’s the case you would have been dead long back even before you can think of this. Normally people who are too ambitious their desires are never satisfied with small expressive work that they can do immediately. Because they feel that their work or creative expression is too small and limited when compared to the big giants who have accomplished huge credits behind them. Pure expression of creation is withheld due to ego problems of the mind, such as internal fear of criticism, fear of non acceptance, fear of failure so on. Once the mind considers itself too inferior to others a state of non doing settles down, this state of non doing is very different form the state of non doing of a master, who really is the master of consciousness. Moment to moment creative expression though seem like drops of water will transform into a big ocean which IS the flow of universe itself, one has to embrace this natural growth. However apparently insignificant, the smallest flower blooms and participates totally in the 'universal flow'. The decline of pure creative expression conforming to the universal flow, gives birth to other negative virtues like greed, anger and fear. Allow life, allow death, and allow the universal flow. "The Mighty Oak was once just a small nut that held its ground."
