There was a man walking by, and he suddenly saw a cocoon, he could see, that the poor butterfly was struggling very badly to try to get out, it was fighting, it really looked as it it was having a very bad time. So that man decided, as an act of good will, to release the poor butterfly from that asphyxiating cocoon…
And there it was, the soon to be butterfly, with a swollen body, trying to open her wings. Unfortunately, after much effort, her body was still swollen and her wings could not open for her to be able to fly…
She had left the cocoon too soon. The butterfly needed the struggle to gain enough strength, so that when the time was right, with all that strength and intent, she would be able to open her wings and fly.
That act of “good will” had actually stranded that butterfly forever…
How many times does this happen to us? We want to help people, we want to “force” them out of their misery/struggle/cocoon, when they are still not ready to leave it? when the lessons to be gained from that struggle have not yet transformed into the strength that the person needs to be able to fly into new horizons?
And how many times, whithin our own process, we try to skip the “struggling out of the cocoon” phase? hating that feeling, hating that struggle, trying to avoid it?
If we really see our struggles in life like that cocoon that will give us the strength to fly high, having faith than when the time is right, not in your own time or anybody Else’s time, you will be strong enough to brake it and transform into an even more radiant human being…
I love this story, thank you to the Brhama Kumaris Raja Yoga teachings for sharing your knowledge to us…
