There are times, in fact many times, when we hear, see, talk about Life teaching us a lesson. Philosophy, Literature, Science all are full of sayings, quotations, essays narrating how school's lesson is different from Life's. How Life first gives us a test and then teaches us.
In and around all this, there comes an instant. When you push. All this chatter of analogies drift away in some far off land. It is as if, somebody has picked up the remote control, turned the volume down, bringing your inner thought pattern to a stand still. Only then, you realize the extent and intensity of noise pollution within.
And then, begins a lecture. A lecture by Life. Every other instant, every other day and every other thing seems like answering your gazillions of accumulated questions. From other people (known and unknown) talking to us to us sitting and opening a book. We stumble across answers. Answers and just answers. It in fact, to a freaking extent, feels as somebody out there is narrating an essay. Explaining events, imparting theories of Life in practical context.
And this often occurs to us when we least expect it perhaps. Or often, occurs to us in our busiest of busiest worldly moments. It is nothing compared to perhaps sitting under a tree peacefully meditating and feeling the apple fall. It is more like sitting in a chaotic meeting, yet turning inward and listening to an essay within.
In a funny sense, it is literally like somebody giving you away Knowledge of Now in a plate. Meal by meal. Appetizers first perhaps.
An essay called Life. In a Course which often goes on break but comes back with all the answers and understanding. We, as humans, no matter how hard we try, remain unsure of what we want to see, hear or experience. We think we know. And on that misconception, we blindly follow suit too. But we don't. Not until we reach out and question without judgement. We extend our hands into the Vastness and innocently pour down all our questions. To which, we are given an answer right when we need them. To which, we are automatically enrolled in a course full of mysteries and overwhelming knowledge. Through modules of training, workshops and experiences. So what, if this all happens, while sitting in a meeting, talking numbers, yet listening to the universe within. For the Course has begun.
