Still Chasing My Own Shadow


Recommended Posts

As a young boy I was totally out of breath,panting and gasping for air. The Mahatma asked why I was in that state. "I am trying to catch my shadow on this lovely sunny day . I've wasted all day but to no avail" I replied. The Mahatma took me by the shoulders and made me face the sun. "Now your shadow will follow you everywhere without any effort" he said.

Many years later the Mahatma remarked "I see that you are still trying to chase your shadow but this time the shadow is in terms of worldly pleasures such as a good career,health,relationships etc".

He took by the shoulders and made me face Gurbani. "Look in the direction of Gurbani and the pleasures shadow will follow automatically" he said as he smiled beautifully.
