On a Silent Note...

The rain seeped through the clouds and without warning, flooded the ground. It was one of those heavy showers which stopped after some time and left behind muddy grounds and a lot of humidity. Around six, I looked at the sky turning into a beautiful palette of golden, red and yellow. Silence came through. The only sound which could be heard was the crying of the eagle in some distant part of the world called sky.
I sat on my bed, and through the net covered window, patiently read what the sky wrote. The world which we call “sky” was right now painted in the colour of red. And as soon as the sun set, the world up there and where we stood became more silent. “Everything symbolizes something.” I heard a voice say. It was, without doubt, my soul. “Everything that happens or comes in one’s life teaches us something. When you were born you accepted the earth and the sky as a part of your life, like I accepted that now I have a physical body.”
“I had no option but to accept them.” I continued with the conversation, afraid to lose it, because only when I talked to my soul I had a feeling of being above humans, beyond life.
“No, you did. Everything has a spirit - the sky, the earth, the bed on which you are sitting, the light in your house… the living things which can’t speak like grass, flowers, sun… In the physical sense they can’t talk but if you listen very carefully you can hear their spirit talk. Their souls have their physical appearance as grass, flowers, etc. like I have my physical appearance as you. Now back to your question. You had two paths… either you would have accepted them which you have and when you did you respected them and their soul respects you in return. Or you wouldn’t have accepted them and then your soul wouldn’t respect you either, that means that the sky might have created havoc for you. It might have started to rain heavily when you were out without an umbrella. Or it could have destroyed your house by tearing itself apart and throwing a lightning bolt on it. What is really needed in this world is respect. Since you respect the sky and give it attention you can read what it says…right now it says that with love everything slows down…life eases and calms down. Just like this, each person you meet will respect you only if you respect him. He can teach you only if you give him time and your undivided attention. You need to love him as if he’s going to go away the very next moment. Only then will you understand the value of this person, only then will you cherish each and every moment spent with him. Happiness is a strange thing… the moment you give it, you’ve got it.”
