Difference will always be there. Didference cannot be misundestood as disparity. We need to be able to gracefully accept its existence. We need to realise that there’s only this difference in degree and no disparity as such.
The moment we take shape and form, our ego starts shaping up our character in a way it sees fit. We start thinking that our way of being is the only right way. But the universe is multi-dimensional. It has no particular way of being. The only way we can interpret it is by degree. I’d like to explain what is meant by degree here. Suppose, we see two trees standing by each other. One a crooked one, with very less leaves, branches and looks barely alive and the other a majestic one, standing tall with lots of branches, green leaves and looks full of life. Which one would draw your appreciation more? Of course the majestic one. And why is that? It’s because the majestic one is more of a tree by degree than the other one.
But as I said, by drawing a conclusion about the trees, most of the times we start believing that the crooked one is not the way how a tree should be. We start despising it. We keep thinking of it as wrong because we forget that if it wasn’t for the crooked one standing by the majestic one we wouldn’t be realising how majestic a tree can be. The majestic one would just be a normal tree in front of us.
It is the same with humans and all other things, it is only in the degree that we can interpret this universe. Now the reason for this difference of degree can be manifolds. This is where, I’d like to explain how the universe is multi-dimensional. Let’s take the trees again, it might happen that the crooked tree was struck by lightning for it to become like that. So to just be alive even after being struck by lightning is majestic in it’s own way. The tall tree standing by the crooked one might not have survived that strike. It might also happen that the crooked tree actually saved the other one’s life by just being there. Now, if we look at the trees this way then you’d feel that both the trees are remarkable in its own way even if they’re very different in apperance. That’s why it is said that the difference is only in degree but there is no disparity as such.
Slightly off topic but important nonetheless, there’s a fantastic platform called http://exploreily.wordpress.com where bloggers can find a great platform to showcase their contents to their kind of audience. Interested people can check it out and get in touch with them. I’ve personally been benefited a lot by them. Thank you.
Om Shanti..?
