Raindrop

The other day , I was watching incessant rain from window of my room . While watching , it just occurred to me ,journey of a raindrop closely co relating with our lives . Each of those raindrops representing each of us , ‘soul being ‘in water form making its appearance and beginning life journey. Each rain drop falls in different regions some on beautiful mountains , some in river , some on our backyards , some on roads and some even in gutters depending on its destiny . Some flow ,some get buried in the ground but with ultimate destination to go back in spirit form and meet that divine from where it originates in times to come.

I  just had inquisitiveness in my mind , So can we take our life lessons from these rain drops ? The each raindrop on its own is formless (can interchange forms ) ,colourless, shapeless , tasteless with unlimited potential but ever willing to play its part in best interest of the universe that is to flow ,to get grounded ,finally ever willing to evaporate, to join its source . If each of us can imbibe these qualities of the raindrops , we can make our life so meaningful & beautiful .  Remember depending on what form raindrop takes it can be a reason for survival to a tiny rope in the desert (life giving )or it can be responsible for a disaster and destruction that is what happens in Mahapralaya (life destroying ) . But let’s not judge that , we also flow /do our things depending on our individual life calling .No good or no bad in that , contributing in our unique way to affairs of the universe we probably do not understand .My only suggestion is let’s not be stagnant, be useful ,either you flow , be solution to somebody’s (living or non living ) thirst , make your into underground for nurturing living & nonliving being , make nature beautiful by flowing like a river or serve life’s bigger purposes by becoming the ocean . Also remember even if stagnation is your life choice ,evaporation is your life destiny so do favour to yourself and to the universe around by contributing in your unique way . Ultimately , whatever you do , once your life journey is over we all have to evaporate . Isn’t it is a irony even raindrop doesn’t leave this planet as water form but evaporate like spirit as we do .

Let’s make this journey worthwhile remembering the end in all of us is a great leveller . But after that only to fall again at some beautiful place to make that tiny crucial enormous difference that universe desires .
