God
created innumerable beings in the world. Every being has some unique
quality. The musk deer, looking black in color, gives us valuable
musk. The cooing of the cuckoo and the drone of the dragon-fly are
pleasing to the ears. While flowers of variegated color are a feast
to our eyes, the sweet fragrance they waft thrills our minds to
sense the presence of God. The Creator blessed man with the 'intellect'.
With His intellectual gifts, one is able to sing like a cuckoo,
dance like a peacock and paint pictures and make dolls. The genius
in the human intellect has been flowering every moment.
Except humans, no other being feels proud of his or her talent.
No being in the creation wants to make money out of its talents
except man or woman. How could we acquire the musical talent to
sing melodiously, dance beautifully and compose lovely poems? All
these marvellous talents are granted by Baba's Grace. If we ignore
the fact and feel great because of our own merit, ego raises its
ugly head and down-fall starts. Sometimes, we do blame God if our
genius is not duly recognized. Baba, who blessed us with so many
talents and skills, knows when, where and how to provide us with
an opportunity to make use of our creative skills. Till then, let
us put our creative genius in the service of Baba and get delighted
and liberated.
