REFLEXIONANDO CON MADHU_
¡Es hora de que rompamos nuestras jaulas y nos nos preocupemos por lo que otros piensen de nosotros!
Swami dijo: "Todos somos como loros enjaulados. Un loro repetirá todo lo que se le enseñe. Pero, ¿entiende y se beneficia?
El loro imita el sonido de un teléfono, un automóvil o la voz de alguien. Entonces ...¡Todos aplaudimos! Qué maravilloso loro, qué bien imita. Y el loro se pone feliz estando en la jaula. Oh! Todos me aprecian, soy feliz en mi jaula.
Eso es lo que nos sucede.
"Tiene un nuevo negocio en marcha", muy bien hecho. "Tiene un auto grande". ¡Qué gran logro! "Tiene una posición más, un galardón más, un premio más, han crecido, su familia ha agrandado", todo el mundo aplaude.
¡Te sientes tan feliz de estar en una jaula, olvidando que tu lugar está en el cielo.! Esto es lo que Swami dijo.
Como los loros seguimos imitando a otros. Él hizo esto, yo también quiero hacer eso. Quiero hacerlo mejor. El mundo alrededor aplaude nuestros logros tontos. Nos sentimos contenidos y felices olvidando quiénes somos realmente. Estamos contentos con nuestras alas recortadas comiendo lo que se nos da, olvidando la inmensidad del cielo, olvidamos la libertad y solmos felices en nuestras jaulas doradas.
Pero entonces Swami está aquí para abrir la jaula y decirnos, salgan, tienen que volar. Este no es el lugar al que perteneces. Este no es el lugar donde deberían estar. Pero entonces nadie va a aplaudir por eso. Nadie va a apreciarlo.
"¡Oh! te hiciste espiritual? Te convertiste en un monje, un Sanyasi? ¿Has renunciado a todos los apegos.? ¿No te importa el mundo? Oh! ¡Muy bien hecho! "Nadie va a aplaudir.
Y entonces no queremos hacerlo. Porque no hay nadie para aprecie eso.
Desafortunadamente, vivimos en esta irreal o falsa pretensión de ser felices y nunca somos verdaderamente felices. Cada palabra que escuché de Swami, sentí lo profundo que se siente. Él siente que todos deberían esforzarse por darse cuenta de sí mismos. Y esto no es posible si quieren estar en la tierra y en el cielo al mismo tiempo. Solo si salen de la tierra, ¡podrán volar en el cielo!
Es hora de que rompamos nuestras jaulas y nos importe un bledo lo que los demás piensen de nosotros, ya sea que nos aprecien o ridiculicen. Deberíamos buscar la expansión de los cielos. Este es el momento, ahora, y este es el momento, aquí.

REFLECTING WITH MADHU_
It’s time we break open our cages and care a damn about what others think about us!
Swami said, “We are all like the caged parrots. A parrot will repeat anything you teach. But does it understand and benefit from it?”
The parrot imitates the sound of a telephone or car or somebody’s voice. We all clap! What a wonderful parrot, how nicely it imitates. And the parrot becomes happy being in the cage. Oh! Everybody appreciates me, I am happy in my cage. That’s what happens to us. “He has got a new business going” – very well done. “He has got a big car” – what a wonderful achievement! “He has got one more position, one more accolade, one more award, he has become bigger, his family has grown” – everybody around claps. You feel so happy you are in a cage, forgetting your place is in the sky! This is what Swami told.
Like parrots we go on imitating others. He did this, I also want to do that. I want to do it better. The world around claps for our silly achievements. We feel so contended and happy forgetting who we really are. We are happy with our clipped wings eating whatever is given to us, forgetting the expanse of the sky, forgetting the freedom and are happy in our golden cages. But then Swami is here to open the cage and say, come out, you have to fly. This is not the place you belong to. This is not where you should be. But then nobody is going to clap for that. Nobody is going to appreciate. “Oh! you became spiritual? You became a monk, a Sanyasi? You gave up all the attachments? You don’t care about the world? Oh! Very well done!” Nobody is going to clap. And so we don’t want to do it. Because there is nobody to appreciate that.
Unfortunately, we live in this fake or false pretense of being happy and we are never truly happy. Every word I heard from Swami, I felt how deeply He feels. He feels everyone should strive to realise his or her self. And this is not possible if you want to be on the earth as well as in the sky at the same time. Only if You leave the earth, can you will fly in the sky! It’s time we break open our cages and care a damn about what others think about us, whether they appreciate or ridicule. We should take to the expanse of the skies. That is the time now and that is the time here.
