“Survival of the fittest “ The law of the jungle is very simple and functional …… but is the same law applicable in the society too, in our civilised world ?
Well ! some may answer this in affirmative – and if you look at it from the eye of the corporate world you may agree too. But then this is where we need to separate or segregate our two worlds, and by this I do not mean our work life and our home life. Here I am talking about the life we lead as a body and the life we lead as a soul.
In the soul world I believe we must follow the simple rule of give and take which I call ROR “ Rule of Refill “. Here the exchange is mutual and basically helps to create perfect balance in this world.
Balance is important as that is the pivot around which the entire universe/nature revolves. Our universe is completely self sustained, following the simple theory of “What you sow is what you reap “. Its perfect science – Every Action has Equal and Opposite Reaction…As Newton says. Throw a black ball and the same ball comes back to you with the same intensity and we call it Karma. This creates an act of balance – balance is essential , balance is required, balance is a must . Because where ever we see misbalance we see destruction. Take this earth for example – if we keep cutting down trees and do not plant new saplings to replace the ones we have cut, it leads to disbalance and destruction.
Now let me apply the same funda on us – Humans . Allow me to speak hypothetically when I ask you to imagine that Divine has given to you 1 litre of Love. That’s the quantity allotted to you. Now one major quality of the soul is to give, so you start to give love to a person, out of that same 1 litre. You continue to give love but in return if you don’t get love back what will happen ? …… Soon that 1 litre will finish off completely.
Now I want you to focus on this by giving it your complete attention – you continue to pour love and in return if you get back nothing, soon you will dry out or run out of love completely and become empty. And as I always say – “ An empty bowl has nothing to offer “. Same way now, that emptiness within you would result in frustration and bitterness leading to depression, anxiety and stress. On the contrary if you give love to someone and in return they give love back to you, you keep refilling each other and that keeps you both satisfied, happy and in love. A perfect relation.
Love someone who gives back the same amount of love (if not more) so that your 1 litre keeps getting refilled and you never run dry, and both of you stay filled with love forever. It has to be mutual. We need balance here – if one person keeps giving love and the other person does not give it back to replenish the stock, then that relation becomes very toxic. And being in such a relation will destroy you inside out and you will end up feeling used and abused, caught up in a one sided, dead end relationship . As we all know lack of balance leads to destruction.
Let’s view this concept in a broader sense now. Ok, for example Work – do it for a company where you get back equal amount in form of salary or respect or encouragement or perks maybe. What you give needs to be filled back. Otherwise you loose interest and you stop enjoying what you are doing. Now your work becomes a burden on you and that affects your productivity too. Soon it becomes the root cause of your unhappiness. Now try and fit this concept on to each and every aspect of your life, you will realise that lack of balance is mainly what causes things to dwindle and fall.
But here I will focus majorly on love, as this is the central issue or the main problem in the modern world of today. Everyone is suffering from this syndrome called Lack Of Love, and no one knows how to handle this issue or problem.
Here is the secret – you have a limited amount of love ( hypothetically speaking ) spend it wisely on someone who gives you back the same and equal amount, in any form ( that’s an individual choice, but it must lead to satisfaction) so that you both stay filled with love, forever. Just be very careful in your choice of giving as there are majorly negative people around, waiting to suck you dry.
Mark my word – Spend that 1 litre of Love wisely. Belong to someone who knows your worth and holds an attitude of gratitude for your presence in their life
