Let Go

[Akaal Purakh Di Fauj]

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

A little child was playing one day with a very valuable vase. He put his hand into it and could not withdraw it. His father too, tried his best, but all in vain. They were thinking of breaking the vase when the father said, "Now, my son, make one more try. Open your hand and hold your fingers out straight as you see me doing, and then pull."

To their astonishment the little fellow said, "O no, father. I couldn't put my fingers out like that, because if I did I would drop my penny."

Smile, if you will--but thousands of us are like that little boy, so busy holding on to the world's worthless penny that we cannot accept liberation. Surrender! Let go, and let God have His way in your life.

Waheguru Ji . . . . . but there's also the thing about achievement. I don't know why, but I kept thinking about him having to let go, and it just struck me, why didn't he note the obvious? That he could turn the vase over and drop the penny out, or even just hold his hand against the penny over the glasss and slid it out, but however he did it, he would have been able to get the penny out. So why didn't he see that? It's like, they are so absorbed in the matter-the worldly matter, if you will-at hand, that they do not realize there is a way that might take a bit longer to get what they want. So, yea, it's about letting go and giving yourself up to God, but perhaps it's just a sign to do it the longer way, the right way, the way that will actually get you there in the end. Because people will get overly literal and try to be too much of a smart-aleck, and say that leaving it to God means doing nothing at all and letting Him come save you. It aint like that, buddie. You gotta earn your place. Take the path that makes you work enough that you actually come to deserve the liberation.

Perhaps it means something else. Perhaps it has nothing at all to do with what I believe it does. Or, perhaps I am, once again, reading too much into things.
