Which Wolf Wins ??

                             

My busy everyday work schedule..In the midst of all the storm I try to find my centre..I manage to shut myself up for an hour during lunch time for my Kriya practice.I guess I am lucky..My people don’t disturb me..They know what I am upto..so except for some occasional urgent outstation calls I am mostly able to sail through 

Yesterday.. I am about to wind up my Kriya..A beautiful white apparition..A dog..Was it a wolf ?..Not clear.. Friendly but vigilant ..Pure white..He simply walks in through a door of my inner vision..looks around..our eyes meet..he gazes for sometime., and then he is gone..Thought it wagged its tail as well..Loved him..Wish he could have stayed longer with me..

As I think about his white sublime presence now..I’m reminded of this beautiful Native American story..

“One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.

One is Black.. Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is White..Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."




Makes me wonder..what am I feeding my Mind and Heart with ? Is it Black or is it White..But nothing is really that Black and White in life..Isn’t it ? 

Am I happy..joyful..peaceful..loving..generous all the time ? Not really..I have my fair hits of highs and lows every day..Sadness..anger..regret..negativity.. they keep creeping in and out..off and on..

The trick is in recognizing and accepting the Black Wolf when it comes..and letting it slowly pass by..finding out ways to let it go gently....welcoming the White Wolf..when it does surface and nurturing it through any means that we possibly can..Yoga..Meditation..Exercise..Hobbies..Friends..Pursuits..
Passions..anything that fills life with joy,peace,positivity and direction....

Being at Home wherever I am..Experiencing the inner joy deep within me...Going outside..Looking at the stars..the rocks..the trees..birds and flowers..spilling that inner joy into song & laughter ..even tears of gratitude..becoming more and more available to opportunities that are to celebrate in life..Dancing in the storm 

A little wisdom..A little foolishness..

Being..Allowing..Receiving..Celebrating..

Thank you White Wolf for the gentle reminder....

Love and Gratitude
