Water and oil don't mix. But that doesn't mean that they cannot co-exist. In fact they do more than co-exist. When you discover the connection between the two you know you have hit the jackpot.
However, this image is not about two different elements complementing each other. To me it's about this beautiful journey that I have undertaken to discover the secret connection between the spiritual and material world.
For more than a decade I was the biggest rat in the rat race. Competitive, dog-with-a-bone-attitude, unnecessary-risk-taker, unhappy, opinionated and again fiercely competitive. I did get whatever I wanted in my career. I was at places and positions that I wanted to be. And if I wasn't somewhere then it was because of my own unwanting of it. However, no amount of success felt good once I achieved it.
Each and every success was cloaked in fear-of-the-future. The cloak was boldly embellished with `Will it last long?' `What if it is lost forever?' Will I have enough? What if I don't have enough? Why am I not getting it? What if I never will get it?' - Any one who is a rat in the rat race of life will identify with this cloak of mine. I wore it for a very long time. It was heavy and uncomfortable because it was unnatural.
But not anymore. I am not a rat anymore. Once I learnt to let go and let it be; once I understood the art of being satisfied with what IS and eager about what is COMING - I realized that I had opened the flood gates of abundance with utmost ease.
This image, a commercial assignment, is testimony to that. I no more chase. I merely enjoy. And things come to me.
Mmmm...if only I had known it some two decades ago! well, it's never too late :)
