A new month - श्रावण has commended with new festivities and new hopes. Therefore such month needs a story. Therefore I share a new one which I find appropriate.

The Falcon & The Branch
There was a king who had received a gift of two most beautiful magnificent falcons like which he had not seen any earlier. He gave them to be trained. But months passed but no progress was seen in respect of the one who remained glued to the branch of the tree, while the other was flying majestically, soaring high in the sky.
The king was worried but none of the healers and sorcerers from all the land could make the falcon fly. The problem was presented the task to the member of his court. The next day, the king saw the bird still glued to the branch, not moving from the branch. The king was worried and thought that the falcon perhaps missed its familiar surroundings.
So he summoned a farmer from the dense forest. The farmer saw the falcon and smiled to himself. The next day morning the king saw the falcon not glued to the branch but soaring high above in the sky.
The king asked the farmer, how did he make the falcon ? With bowed head the farmer replied, “It was not me, your highness. who made the falcon fly. The falcon flew all by itself. I simply detached the bird from being entangled by the branch where the bird was sitting.”
We too could fly and soar in the sky, liberated from the sufferings and sorrows, if refuse to be attached to our little world of desires and detach from becoming salves to our senses. Once we become conscious of the incredible potential within the human beings, then we will detach ourselves from our little familiar, Comfortable, mundane, mediocre desires and will attach ourself to the vast undiscovered lex citing, trilling, and fulfilling opportunities that are endless, spread around with no fear, freeing ourselves to the glory of Bliss of Beatitude.
