Perception Makes Your Power Infinite
From my blog post. "Perception Makes Your Power Infinite"
It's an old story but you'll enjoy reading.
"Once a man found an eagle's egg and kept it in a prairie chicken's nest. The young eagle eventually hatched along with the brood of chicken, whom he assumed to be his own siblings. He adopted and accepted their lifestyle and considered himself to be a prairie chicken. He would fly a short distance and go airborne just a few feet off the ground throwing and flapping his newly grown-up wings. One day, while scratching the dirt for worms and insects, he experienced the magnificent sight of some eagles soaring high gracefully in the wind towards the heaven. His heart immediately filled with inexplicable ecstasy. A deep desire arose from his within to fly high and catch the current of the wind. In an admiration of their courage, he asked his brothers, "How can they fly so high while we struggle to flap a few feet off the ground?"
"Well they are eagles, they are the kings of the sky..don't even give a second thought for flying so high... we are prairie chickens; we can never fly like them."
The young eagle didn't go for further questions despite having a strong longing for soaring high in the powerful wind. The Prairie chickens' voice were so loud and persuasive that downed his own inner voice and he never tried to take a venture on discovering his real potential and identity.
Years rolled by and one day, while searching for insects along with his siblings, he was caught by an old eagle who was puzzled to see such a weird eagle.
"Stop digging the mud and hopping like a chicken...an eagle is not supposed to behave like this." the old eagle asked.
'But I am just a prairie chicken...I can't soar like you.'
'Are you convinced with the voices around you? It seems you are happy being a prairie chicken.'
"No I'm not; I really want to fly like you but it's not possible for me."
"Turn your desire into action! This is not the place where you belong."
The old eagle did not say further words and flew away.
The words of wisdom echoed in his ears and strained his heart for the whole day. The young eagle made a strong resolve to know the truth. He went to a high hill and jumped. Initially, he struggled but soon started flapping his winds with all his strength and courage. His wings started taking full advantage of the powerful current of wind and he soared effortlessly and graciously. He came out of his vacillation between prairie chicken and eagle. It was the first time his wings received an authentic taste of heavenly pleasure in flying like an eagle. His risk paid him off with a precious worth."
