Life, karma and purpose  

                               “They put us to ground without knowing we are trees”

Life somehow resemblance a lot with the life of a tree. At first you are just a seed and you just suck all the nutrition everything the earth provides so you grow from this little speck into a big tree. The same happens to us, and we rely on parents, kindness of nature, humanity, to grow until we can provide for ourselves. But as the tree, we are always in need of what the earth provides, all our flesh and existence here is not due to our parents, but to earth, nature and all the food we put in our body, all that matter, that we eventually transform it into human body.

You put an apple into your body, and the body acts as an alchemist transforms it into cells, tissue, organs, blood whatever is necessary.

But it comes a time, when you should give something back to nature, a tree creates oxygen, fruits, for animals, humans, and it is like he has a purpose. And everything has a purpose here on earth. We are the only aliens here, still searching for one, some of us will never find it, because we go against the heart and we surrender to the ego,to the mind, to whatever society wants us to be. And it s nothing wrong with that, it is just that society is very unbalanced, it still has a lot to understand.

My teacher used to say “Understanding is One, Misunderstanding is Many”

There was a video these days on the internet, saying that the world would be such a better place without humans, all we do here is to interfere with nature, we destroy, we think we know better, we kill, we are in this moment the disease of the planet. But the planet as the sun doesn’t create separation, they give their love and energy to everyone, their love is unconditional. Either you are a thief, a teacher, or just a normal person, the sun shines the same for everyone.

But we try to learn, to adjust, to wake up…

Until the time will come when we learn from “good” positive actions, that doesn’t cause us any pain or discomfort, we will experience a lot of the opposite. It seems like this is the way for us to learn, by suffering, these are the best lessons that life give us, whenever we are uncomfortable.

When I see all the drama and “bad” things that are happening in this world, all the sufferance and ignorance, greed and wars, all the disabled people and sick people, I realize, that all of this is needed.

You need a homeless person to remind you how lucky you are on a winter to have a home, a
sick person to know how we take health for granted, a tsunami to realize how lucky we are each day to have such a stable climate, an old person to see that life is short and you still have to enjoy everything before and do some yoga, so in your 60’ty years of age, you would not need a wheelchair or medicine, or someone to clean after you because your lifestyle consummated your body before your age.

We get so engaged in what we are doing, that we forget to be thankful for what we have and we take everything for granted.

We cannot learn other way, so things will just get worse and worse, until a day will come and you will say “I had enough” and a change is producing inside of you. That is the moment that you have the courage to do and try new things, because what it was before didn’t work.

Some people are more sensible than others, for some of us, the drama already existing is enough, so we change our behavior alter our perception and start building a heaven here on earth.

This is another face of karma to me, some pain for you in order to get back on the track. As a  person will cut some of the tree or plant branches to concentrate the energy on other parts of the tree, probably to produce less fruits, but bigger and more tasty, and with more nutrients, the same karma is making you suffer so you place your energy where is needed.

Karma is not a bad thing, karma for me is the hand of the universe, showing you the way whenever you are lost. Karma is your guru, teacher, your best friend who has the courage to tell you in your face that you are wrong, and ignorant, and your ego needs to shrink.
