THE STORY OF THE LITTLE BIG GIRL
There was once a little girl, who was not really a little
girl,....because she was a big girl... and yet she was a little girl,
because she did get scared , when confronted with the
Un-known ... ....... soft, she was..... she was tender..... and loving was she ...
this little big Girl ......... but scared she was , mortally scared.....
Existence , one day, said to her . " O little One... what indeed
is there to be afraid of .... ? " and seeing Existence , the little
big girl became even more frightened ... and would not say
anything...
But Existence was nothing if not Loving... It smiled so
lovingly that the warmth melted the little big girl's defences...
she could relax !
" Ah ! " said the little big girl, " I am afraid of Death... i'am
afraid that when my Mind is destroyed by The Guru sent by
you, what will happen to me ? "
" Fear not child ", said Existence , " for you have earned my
Grace with the merit you have accumulated in the many lives
lived righteously. This Lifetime, I will give you the Gift of
freedom from Fear... all fear... Only you will have to listen
attentively to what I say.... So that true understanding about
Fear dawns in you...
" The greatest Fear is indeed the Fear of Death . Once, one
understands the nature of this fear, the fear vanishes... "
continued Existence , " We are afraid only because we, identify
ourselves with the ever -changing , ever dying body, and think
we are the body... Actually, we are That , which makes the
body live, which is Life itself. Like the electric current in the
bulb. "
" And , The moment you will realise your own true nature, ...
you will realise that you are yourself Death-less-ness.. Life and
living are your play ... and the play is made possible only
because you have created death ... as the opposite of Life ...the
white dot can only be seen on a black board, never on a white
wall.."
" I do not understand ," said the little big girl, " And I dont
think I can "
" Of course you can, " replied Existence," Have Faith that you
can... By the intelligence, I have bestowed on you... will you
understand anything you choose to understand... BUT, Of
course, should you not so choose, you might have to die many
times and be born again and again till you so choose ... "
There was almost a magic in the Love that Existence
enveloped the little big girl in, ...
... And Lo ! The little big girl was a little girl no longer ! She
was only the big girl she had always wanted to be... strong, tender
and loving, and wise...
" I do so choose... I will not be afraid of Death and dying ... I
choose to understand ... If Existence, the very source of
everlasting Life has Graced me with such a lovely vision... how
can I not choose to work for the ultimate understanding ! "
cried the big girl , " Blessed indeed is This Moment Now ! "
"Wonderful, my child," Existence smiled again ... and the big
girl now saw that she was surrounded by an ethereal Light....
and, that light was emanating from the Guru... and she too was
not other than the Light
