My 199th post - finally!
Here, I would like to begin my post with a very meaningful quote I've heard from a movie called
"The Little Buddha"
If you tighten the string too much, it will snap..If you leave it too slack, it won't play..
Well, have you all gotten and catched the meaning hidden behind such sentence?
Basically, it looks simple and yet it contains such meaning that most of us can't fulfil..We, as human beings often feel too attached over something that we always TIGHTEN the string too much till it snap..Isn't everything too late when it snapped? Even if you join the strings back together, it will still never be the same as before..Therefore, let it go and give everything some space..Don't think about it too much that it affects you..On the other hand, if you leave something too slacky, it might not move for you..It wouldn't be there for you just like that..Praying for a miracle to happen without doing anything is plain "c2pid"..Is like praying for money to grow in your toilet bowl..
Anyway, that quote teach us how to do things in a moderate way....Even the path to the enlightenment (the place to free yourselves from all suffering) has to begin with a middle path which is moderation..It is the path in between all extremes..And even Buddha practised everything in a moderate way..He did not starve himself to find the truth..
I did not know that such movie can insipire me so much about life..Something about life that most of us are very ignorant about..I would love to recommend this movie to all of you..Watch it...!!! Whether you're a buddhist or not, don't be so racist..Just watch and find out, what life's really all about..
Last but not least, believing in reincarnation is what I've learnt from that movie too..It is the belief that the soul, upon death of the body, comes back to earth in another body or form.. Although you have all kinds of different body with you, your mind and soul will always remain the same as who you are right now..Relating to that, does KARMA (the cause and effect) has something to do with reincarnation too?? That's for you all to find out! Life is a mystery afterall.. :D
Remember this, FORM IS EMPTY AND EMPTINESS IS A FORM!!!
Now, take a deep thought about that....And tell me, what do you understand from it?
