The light at the end of the tunnel

When there are problems, there will be solutions.. If there are no solutions, then there are no problems.. If there are no problem and you go and find problem, then you really have a problem!

I always love the above saying! Venerable Kai Zhao said this in mandarin humorously and yet its the truth.. But we are often too caught up thinking abt the problems instead of the solutions..

The problems seem to be like a whirlpool that just keep sucking the energy source of people hence there are suicide cases etc of people trying to escape from their problems..

But there will come a point when the light at the tunnel suddenly appears and all the problems seem to be no problem at all! This is when the knot has been untied and the string is once again a smooth string..

Meditation does help to untie the knot as it calms the mind down to analyse the problem and move on to searching for the solution.. Its such a wonderful feeling to see the light for the mind feels so refreshed..

A bird spoke to a wise old tree,"As the season changes, my friends are leaving for the warmer places.. Do you think I should follow them or I should wait for them?"

The wise old tree replied," My child, follow your inner voice. Do not listen to the opinions of others even as they rush you to make a decision. You can always wait until the time is ripe to make a decision."

Enlightened, the bird chirped happily," The time will tell when it is ripe. A relationship that is over the distance must be thought over carefully. It is right that everything should be decided only when the conditions are there once again"

The winds blew, the flowers swayed, the fairies danced.. The bird had found its inner peace, the peace that was gone for eons..
