Feeling Indispensable ???

Some time when you are feeling importantSome time when your ego is in bloomSome time when you take it for granted
You are the best qualified in the Room

Some time when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow thissimple instruction
and see how it humbles your soul

Take a bucket and fill it with water
Put your hand in it, upto the wrist
Pull it out, and the hole that is remaining
is a measure of how you much will be missed

Splash all you please when you enter
You can stir up the water galore
But stop, and you will find in a minute
That it looks quite the same as before

The moral in this quaint example is
Just do the best that you can !
Be Proud of yourself, but Remember
there is no Indispensable Man !!

Dear Aruna
I will remember this next time my ego is in full bloom.

Dear Aruna Habibi,

After reading the pearls of wisdom from the Zen school of thought
("tongue in the cheek") I came back to terra firma with a thud reading this about the topic of indispensability.
no body is going to miss ME!! The bucket of water example gave me a terrible jolt,for sure.But Habibi,I beg to differ a little ..a wee little bit...if you'll permit me.What about our immediate family ...I mean one's hubby and kids they will definitely feel the vaccum if Mom is just gone POOF one fine morning...who's going to run the home and be home with a warm meal to welcome the family every evening?!

OK OK .....I get it ,this is just a little reminder so that we don't strut around too much and remember that humility is a desired quality to be cultivated.

Beautifully crafted lines and a valuable moral to remember.
Warm regards
PAULINA
