The Home For All…
All the rooms in
the house were being decorated for Diwali. Everything had to be
sparkling clean and bright.
the house were being decorated for Diwali. Everything had to be

The
living room said: “Hey look at me, I’m so huge. I’m the one decorated
with beautiful things. I’m the most sparkling room of the house. I’m
the best.”
The bedroom could not resist this challenge,
he retorted and said: “OK! You may be the biggest but I am the most
important room in the house because everybody longs to take rest here
when they are tired. The energy of everybody gets revitalised when they
come to me.”
The kitchen scoffed and said: “Can you rest
with an empty stomach! If it were not for me what could anybody eat?
Where could the food be cooked? Where would the energy come from
without food? So you see, I am the most important.”

The
little bathroom was feeling neglected. He dare not speak too loud among
these luminous dignitaries. He said meekly: “What about me, everybody
needs to use me too, even if I’m smelly sometimes.”
Now who could decide which was most valuable room of the house? Could
these rooms do without each other?
No,
no… They could all be the best places in the room. But still there
was something more in there which never spoke, nor could be seen, but
was always there. In fact it was in & out of all the walls of the
house, all the rooms were rooted in it!
It is the SPACE! The space was not confined to a single room but
instead it was present everywhere…
It
was because of the space that all the rooms were existing! Every room
thought: “This is my space! The space was not in the rooms but the
truth is that the rooms were in the space. The space existed silently,
all pervasively, selflessly, and so could hold within itself all their
vanities and yet it is not bound by them.

Similarly
people belonging to different religions, like Hindu, Muslim, Christian,
Sikh, Jain or Buddhist etc., keep trying to prove their superiority.
Each individual draws energy from the blissful roots of the soul. The
soul which is omnipresent & is the basis of existence of all, never
utters a single word. That which is the most supreme need not prove
itself…
