Pop corn is my favourite snacks. Whenever I go out for shopping, pop-corn would be there in the shopping list by default. Why I like it? It is so munchy, crunchy, looks like a flower and it is white in colour which is very appealing.
Last week when I went out with my mother for shopping, I spotted a pack of corn seeds. I thought I'll experiment it for breakfast, mixing with wheat flour and make chappattis!!. So, happily I went home, kept it in the shelf because my experiments are done only on weekends.
So then, saturday arrived and I had totally forgotten about my adventure with corn seeds and had dosa for breakfast!! With the power cut happening two hours per day from 2pm to 4pm, I was forced to do something interesting during that time. Interesting things are usually stored up in the kitchen, so my legs guided me rightly to that place. It didn't take long for me to spot the corn seeds. I picked up the pack and started looking for instructions if any. That is when I saw that what I had bought was "POP CORN SEEDS"!!!!! WoW!! Delighted as ever, I opened up the packet, set the stove up for the preparation. Since it is my favourite snacks, I didn't want to take any chances, I called my mom for help. After little heating up, it started with the first pop, then pop pop pop pop pop pop pop... with each pop I was jumping and clapping my hands( then you can imagine how many times I would have jumped and clapped!!!!). Finally it was all done, mom gave me the bowl, full of pop-corns.
I would have simply started eating it but then suddenly something struck my mind. There was such a striking contrast between the seeds and the popped ones. Essentially every seed has the potential to pop-up but it needs an expert cook. I somehow started relating all of us with the seeds and pop-corns. Gurudev with his love, care and in His own way, chooses a handful(He has a big hand, so it covers the whole earth!!) and expertly guides us and at the right time, each one of us pop-up; blossomed and beautiful, spreading joy and peace all around us.
What a revelation, what a thought given by Gurudev!! My Master.
