Transcend

It was the day of my first flight. I woke up early in the morning and took a cab to reach the airport. I was on time and boarded the flight during sunrise. The flight took off and I was happy to see the clouds around. The thought that I am between the clouds made me so happy that I forgot everything else. I peeked out of the window to see what is visible. I could hardly see what was there on earth. No humans, no vehicles, no animals, nothing differentiable. 

This journey enlightened me with the fact that we are one of the 'smallest of the small' creatures on this earth and when seen from a certain distance, none of us are visible. The flight landed and I came out of the airport but my mind was still in between the clouds trying to remember what was visible from the top view. Everything looks so small and same.

Sitting in the cab, untangling the tangled earphones, I started thinking about the applicability of 'smallest of small concept' and realized that the same is true for what we so call as 'problems'. When there is a problem we must take a top view of it. Stand far away, break the connection and think whether it is worth to worry about. There won't be anything to worry about. The universe is much much much bigger. Earth is a small entity in the big universe. We- the humans are small creatures on the earth and the problems are smaller than that. Rise up to such an extent from where everything is negligibly visible. Everything seems to be one and the same.

Whenever something uncontrollable happens, rise up and see it in such a way that it seems small and indefinable. Take it as an opportunity to transcend the worldly happiness and grief. There won't be any pain or pleasure. Peace and bliss replaces pleasure and pain when one transcends. 'Transcend', experience and grow through it.
