“Smile”… Smile from the heart and you will see the whole world smiling at you. Smile is love, smile is joy, smile is being. Smile is all we need to be happy. Can we imagine a world without a smile?
Look at the newborn baby and we just can’t stop smiling. Have we wondered what is it in him that makes us smile. We forget all the pain and start experiencing the joy in the moment. We connect to our own innocence when we look at the child. We remember that we are a child ourselves and we are so innocent. We do not judge a little child and in his presence we do not judge ourselves. We are connecting from our heart and are open to the experience.We just be and let the energy drive us. A mother cannot really plan her day but molds herself to the need of the moment. The smile of the child is what drives her and keeps her going though the entire journey of motherhood. All the hard work and effort put in by her get’s paid by one smile on her child’s face. So how do we forget to smile in front of God. Smile is all he wants to give us on this entire journey. He is our mother and our father. He has been constantly with us and trying to make us smile. We keep asking and he keeps giving. We receive the gifts but we forget to acknowledge. We forget to show our gratitude for all our gifts. We forget to smile from our hearts.
In physical world parents continue to shower unconditional love on their kids. As we grow in age, we learn that we will always be kids for our parents. So they will continue giving no matter what and we take them for granted. Until one day, the parents leave the physical bodies and we wonder who is going to take care of us? Our physical world shatters and we close our hearts, thinking that God has not been fair to us. Actually, we are only learning to grow with each experience. God is only reminding us the truth of our eternal nature. He is only reminding us of our reality that we have come to experience in this body. The reality of love that we are, the reality of how this love is limitless unlike this body in which we choose to experience it in, the reality that there no beginning and no end to the love we are, the reality that free will exists each moment for us to choose our experience, the reality that we can choose as many costumes to experience this infinite love, the reality that all he wishes for us is to smile, smile and smile…
“Smile, for it doesn’t cost you a penny, but brings limitless joy and happiness to the one you bestow this gift upon”…With Love, Vandana
