45. The Birds ---------Master Morya

THE BIRDS

The birds fly out into the sky even before the dawn. Singing they fly with much enthusiasm to distant places. Only those who have the spirit of enthusiasm sing early in the morning, sing joyfully. Morning tunes are but joyful expressions of one’s own enthusiasm relating to life. Singing thus the birds fly in the light sky. They cover long distances and eventually fetch food for their kin as they return home at the even tide.
Do you know why the birds fly so far, it’s not for food as the humans think, for the humans think only of food. They fly to be in the lighted sky. To fetch food they don’t have to fly so long and so far. The vultures fly not much. Their mind is predominantly food-oriented; they look for flesh, but the birds that fly high and far off to distant lands do so for the joy of flying. It is but eventual that they gather a little food for their kin.

Among the symbols of spirit, the birds stand out, for they live high in sky, live not for food and move singing. The morning songs of the birds are the wake-up calls to the beings. Listen to the message of the bird that sings in the morning. The bird tells you to be joyful, enthusiastic and adventurous. They also demonstrate to live high in one’s own awareness.
