The pregnant deer
There was once a pregnant deer and she knew the time was coming to give birth. She found a secluded spot, near a strong flowing river. Just then dark cloud gathered, and a strong bolt of lightning, fell on the forest and started a forest fire. She looked to her left, and she found there was a hunter there, ready to shoot her. She looked to her right, and she was surprised to find a hungry lion, waiting to pounce on her.
Oh! my God what to do in this situation? There is a forest fire, there is a swift flowing river, there is a hunter, there is a lion. She had nowhere to go. In this situation where there is no way out, the deer decided to focus on one thing she could focus on. On giving birth. And as she gave her full attention just to the process of giving birth, the following things happened. There was a sharp bolt of lightning, the hunter got disoriented. As he released the arrow, it zipped passed the deer and actually hit the hungry lion. And the lion ran away. And a strong shower of rain, put the forest fire out.
You see, what got us entangled in the
first place? It is the responsibility of that very force of nature to take us
out of it. So in this way, like the pregnant deer, let us learn to in the
moment and to give full attention to what’s in front of us and the rest of our
life will take care of itself. Things will naturally fall into place.
