There were five fishermen in a village, and there was a
single pond in their village where they used to go for fishing. After few years
of fishing, fishes started reducing, demand started increasing. When the resources
are less and demands are more, the competition takes place. People start
competing with one-another. The same thing happened to them. They started
competing one-another to catch more and more fishes and get more profits. The
hatred, jealousy, despises and comparison took place, the meaning of life was
lost. Competition, defeating others, thinking about others had become their
life. In competition, people forget themselves, they always things about their
opponents, which make the people go away from the self.
The fishermen were always busy in making strategy against
others. They were wasting their energy and time thinking for other`s defeat.
They thought, there is no other way out to survive rather than competing with
others. When you entangle in these kind of thought, you lose your credibility
and creativity. But one fisherman named Nishad, was out of this competition. He
was investing his energy and time in thinking some other and bigger
alternative. He was not thinking about paucity and competition rather he was
looking for abundance and fulfillment.
There was an ocean few miles away from his village. There
were varieties of fishes in the ocean, but they did not know how to catch the fish
from the ocean. Nishad`s target was to catch fish from the ocean not from the
small pond. He started thinking a method to catch the fish from the ocean. If
you think constantly to achieve something without doubt, our amenable mind provides
a certain way out for that. Nishad, few months, worked on the senses and a favorite
food of the fishes, and after a few experiments, he got a method to attract the
fishes in ocean. If you can feed the senses of someone, that person becomes your slave.
Needless to say, Nishad had an ocean of opportunity, because
he became the creator of his method, his life, he started living his life in abundance and
fulfillment…., and others did not come out from their pond, because of being
competitors to one-another.
Human life is not for competition, it is for creation. In
competition, you think about others, you compare, when you compare, means, you
want to be some other person, in this way, you lose your true nature, once you
lose your true nature, you bound yourself to live in depression, frustration,
stress, worry and all kinds of miseries. The more you become competitive, the more you
lose your uniqueness. Everyone on this earth is unique and special. When you
lose your uniqueness and specialty of yourself, you lose your real identity,
and no one can live happily on the earth without his own uniqueness and identity.
You can be in bliss with your true self only not otherwise.
Vedanta says, Aham
Brahm asi--- I am Brahma… Brahma means creator…,means, you are the creator of
your life.
Inherently, the creativity is inside you, just come out of
the concept of competition, and think about the creativity hidden you. The moment,
you get it, you would be fabulous.
