Open Up To Life With Love
Ten philosophers were imprisoned in a country. They were kept together in one cell. They decided that somehow they should escape from the prison. They sat and made a big plan. They got the mold of the prison door key and made a duplicate key.
Finally, they chose the date of escape. The whole plan was clearly laid out. They decided that on the particular night, two of them will open the prison door with the duplicate key and signal to the others. The others would escape and these two would follow after locking the door behind them.
The day of escape dawned and two of them went to open the door. The rest of them waited for the signal. They waited and waited but never got any signal. Three hours passed. Suddenly the two who had gone to open the door came back and said, 'We have to drop our plan to escape. It can"t happen today. We will have to do it some other day. We will have to reschedule our escape."
The others asked, 'Why, what happened?"
They
replied,
'What
to
do?
The
foolish
guards
forgot
to
lock
the
prison
door!"
Those
who
philosophize
cannot
think
of
anything
new!
It
has
to
be
the
same
old
mental
setup.
If
there
is
some
change
or
some
new
situation,
they
cannot
think
creatively
to
deal
with
it,
because
they
are
not
open.
They
are
like
a
closed
circuit.
We have also become like philosophers when dealing with our lives. We are stuck in patterns of the past. We are never in the moment. If anything new happens, we are at a loss.
The person who experiences the 'ever living presence" experiences life in its freshness. He is also the one who is open and available. He constantly experiences the oneness with everything around him. Understand, being open means respecting every thing as equal to you. It means considering each other as equal and being open to change. 'Available" means that you are clear that the source of everything in this universe is Existence and that you are available to it every moment. That is the meaning of being available. It is recognizing the profundity of Existence of which all things are part. If you are open and available, you are no more a philosopher. You are ready to open up to life with love.
