Spiritual Inspirations from Birds | Happy World Sparrow Day | The Significance of World Sparrow Day
20th March is World Sparrow Day. Hence, today provides an excellent opportunity to take some interesting spiritual inspirations from birds!
The soul can be equated to a bird, having the wings of spiritual knowledge & meditation, to fly high i.e., to experience an elevated state of mind always!
Indeed just like an eagle ๐ฆ
flaps it’s wings very less, instead just using them to simply glide in the airโฆ Similarly, we don’t need to make too much hard-work in life, just need to know how to keep ourselves full through the power of spiritual knowledge & few minutes of meditation daily, and this empowering of mind automatically makes all other aspects of our life (like work & relations) very simple & easy!
The bird is able to fly because it’s very lightโฆ Similarly, let’s remain very light from within, by:
- Remain in the awareness & very light experience of being a peaceful soul
- Working in a very relaxed & stress-free manner
- Going beyond hurry; by realizing we only need to do actions fast, not also make our mind run too fast which actually reduces efficiency
- Accepting the different sanskars of others, and letting go small matters
- Keeping God alongwith us, which keeps pushing our state of mind upwards
A bird has complete freedom & independence to fly high in the unlimited sky, however if it keeps holding on to the branch, it’ll never be able to flyโฆ Similarly, let’s leave our old belief systems like โAnger ๐ is my natureโ, โI’m sensitiveโ, โI don’t have time for empowering my mindโ, etc which unnecessarily pull us down. Indeed, let’s start moving towards experiencing a life of complete stability & happiness always!
Indeed, even if mountain-like situations come, rather than trying to break the mountain โฐ๏ธ (i.e., complaining, blaming, worrying, etc), let’s simply fly over it (i.e., maintain an elevated state of mind), and the situation will start looking smaller & smaller!
An eagle’s ๐ฆ
vision is very sharp, being able to see even kilometres awayโฆ Similarly, let’s keep a far-sighted vision in life i.e., let’s also focus on our long-term progress by daily studying of spiritual knowledge & meditation.
It’s scientifically proven that when birds fly together in a group, each individual bird has to make much less efforts as compared to flying in isolation… Similarly, let’s remain in the company of pure elevated souls whoโre working on themselves, since this makes our transformation very easy & natural too!โฆ Indeed, let’s remain in the elevated company of God always, which makes everything easy!
We’re not crows who do ka-ka [i.e., keep asking waste questions like kya, kyun, kab, kaise, kaha (what, why, when, where, how)], but we’re holy swans ๐ฆข who inculcate pearls (i.e., virtues & positive aspects)โฆ Indeed, let’s become as sweet & melodious as a cuckoo (koyal), such that everyone likes hearing us!
We’re not parrots ๐ฆ(who simply repeat heard knowledge) or cocks ๐ (who wakes up others and then goes to sleep itself)… But we’re those who inculcate the knowledge first and then share with othersโฆ This ensures our words are filled with the power of conviction & experience, hence touching people’s hearts, inspiring their easy transformation too!
Indeed, like the bird chakor dances on seeing the moon, and the peacock ๐ฆ on seeing the rain ๐ฆ, let’s remain lost in God’s love & keep dancing with supersensuous joy in His remembrance!
The Phoenix is a legendary long-living bird in Greek legends, believed to be full of all colours, and in whose presence everyone’s wishes get fulfilledโฆ Similarly, when we remain full of the colors of our original virtues (of peace, love & happiness), those vibrations travel around to others, fulfilling everyone’s true wish (of experiencing their original virtues), hence we receive their blessings for a lifetime!
We’re not bats ๐ฆ or owls ๐ฆ (who in Hindi is called ullu, also meaning fool) who sleep during the day and remain awake at night… Hence, let’s try to wake up slightly early by remembering that โEarly to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy & wise!โ
Both swans ๐ฆข & storks are white in color, but their vision & acts are completely opposite i.e., the swan always inculcates pearls while the stork inculcates only waste… Similarly, we shouldn’t go just by external looks, wealth, etc, but we should prioritize the inner values & character of people.
Conclusion (The Significance of World Sparrow Day)
An interesting story comes to mindโฆ Once, a wildfire ๐ฅ struck in a forest ๐๏ธ, and there was one Sparrow who kept taking some water from the ocean ๐ into it’s mouth, and pouring it onto the fire, again taking some water for pouring, and so on. Someone asked her โDo you really think the wildfire will get finished just with your efforts?โ. She replied โI don’t know whether the fire will finish or not, but I’m definitely fulfilling my duty towards the forest which sustains me!โ. Gradually, seeing the relentless efforts & determination of the sparrow, all the birds & animals of the forest joined in, working with full co-operation, and the wildfire finished in no time!… Similarly, we need to keep progressing fast in our journey of self-transformation because God says it’s this self-transformation which will finally lead to world-transformation i.e., transform the world from Kaliyuga to the divine land Satyuga once again!
Om Shanti!
