Greetings, dear friends.
In the grand tapestry of existence, there is a tale of a lion cub who, having strayed from the embrace of his mother and siblings, wandered into a realm unlike his own—a realm inhabited by sheep. Lost and bewildered, the cub found solace among these humble creatures and was welcomed into their fold.
Adopted by the sheep, the lion cub, now part of their flock, grew older and began to adapt to their ways. He learned their mannerisms, mimicked their bleats, and embraced their diet. Dressed in the guise of a sheep, he became adept at behaving as they did, living life in the shadow of his true nature.
One fateful day, as the flock grazed by the river, they encountered a real lion. The sight of this majestic creature struck fear into the heart of the lion sheep, who, in panic, fled in terror. The lion pursued and soon caught up with him by the riverbank. With a gentle voice, the lion asked, “Why do you behave like a sheep when you are, in essence, a lion?”
The lion led him to the river’s edge and told him to look into the water. “What do you see?” he asked. Gazing into the reflection, he saw his true self, not a sheep but a lion.
In that moment of revelation, the lion awoke from his delusion of being a sheep. Understanding that he had been living a lie, he shed the pretense of sheephood and roared with the power and majesty of his true nature. Guided by this newfound self-awareness, he returned to his rightful place among his kind, embracing his inherent divinity.
This parable mirrors our human experience. Many of us, veiled by the illusion of our mortal selves, identify with the sheep’s life—limited, fearful, and unaware of our divine essence.
We are sacred beings, cloaked in the garments of the physical world, mimicking the behaviors and thoughts of mere mortals. Yet, our true nature is not of this transient realm but of the boundless, eternal spirit.
“We must look within and recognize our true nature to awaken.” Just as the lion sheep saw his reflection. By transcending the superficial egotistical layers of our existence, we can reclaim our inherent divinity and roar with the power of our authentic nature.
Thus, the journey is self-realization and returning to our true essence, which is ever divine and free.
