The great last battle has been won and the soldiers, generals and all the brave warriors are happy, shouting with joy and congratulating his king. This is a big celebration, the entire kingdom is celebrating the great victory and all are toasting and applauding his king.
-Hurrah for the King, who gave us victory!
While the king was in his private quarters with a strange expression on his face. When nobody sees him, his heart cries filled with bitterness and shouts at the king: ” What have you done with us, you dumb king? What have you accomplished by winning these battles? We were raised by noble warriors and today is a very sad day because unfortunately you have won the battles and the war is finished. No more war. No more glories. No more deaths. No more heroes. No more torment. No more ceremonies. There are neither crowns nor swords. Blood is not been spilled any more. War came to an end. Peace has been born. And now the army finally disappears.”
The townspeople are out in the streets laughing and proclaiming the great king while the king is by himself crying his bitter loneliness.
From a long meditation process….that man came out. Many springs…had already passed. So many, that he had forgotten the scent and the aroma of the flowers.
He was a person that looked for the meaning of life, that had abandoned all tastes and pleasures, since he felt that he had to give priority to more fundamental aspects, at least, he thought that way.
After leaving the meditation, he was thinking that it was necessary to increase the meditation, that maybe he had lost too much time and that he would have to make a better effort.
Therefore, he went in search of an old teacher, that is to say, perhaps a little older that himself.
After a pilgrimage, he found the longed for master and he commented to him of his efforts, sacrifices and austerities and the teacher said to him:
-Ah, that was the reason that you have not been seen anymore, that you have also lost the smile and the youth. You have been, he said clearly, looking for in the wrong places, you have locked up your spirit and you have not allowed it to travel neither by the world nor by your life.
Nobody has been able to know you and nobody knows you, you did not care for an animal you did not water a plant, you did not kiss the forehead of a child, you did not have dreams with the loved person, you did not watch over the nights to see the light of a new day, you did not know how the birds fly and nest and besides all that and much more…were you thinking that you were looking for the truth?
Does the flower try to wither or should the children should be born pale, ill, without energy, and of youth one should run away, frightened?
Why have you denied life, why have you thought that by hurting you, you punished some demon and you did not realize that everything you did was to bleed slowly?
Please, now that you have left your own captivity, do not carry to an extreme your confusion. Be as the light of the sun that does not hide or like the brilliant green of the leaves reflecting life’s energy.
Do not accuse yourself, please, neither reject the favor of your senses, learn and understand that your heart has been born to love and be loved, cultivate the friendship and put faith in the work of your hands, do not cut your walking by life, do not die without having lived, enjoy with sincerity the joy of the present.
If there is something mistaken in man is the fact that he refuses to live.
Why do you look beyond yourself? What you must do is to accept and to know yourself.
The Love that has created and maintains all the life, has not made it a crime or punishment. Do not reject the existence and make of your meditation not a cold tomb, but a purpose to reach dignity, happiness by sharing day by day, the joy that is the natural sense of the soul.
And that man, who had meditated without really understanding, just had a glimpse of the most perfect and absolute reality: THE PRESENT.
Light may become word and the steps will make the path. And the explanation of all this is that without our presence there are neither events nor actions.
Without us, not even time exists. We are, then, life and stage. Should we lose this option?
We are light, not shadow, we are hope, not discouragement we are life, not death we are joy and compassion and we only have to express it in this same instant.

With a grain of sand in my hand, I will embrace a mountain. With a drop of salt water, I will sail the seven seas. And in a moment’s time, I will travel by the sky. There is so much to do! There is so much to Be! Life is a gift of Love inviting us to Love.
