Nothing & Everything
The numbers begin with zero, representing nothingness. You start with an empty vessel to which you can add ingredients for cooking. A small, seemingly insignificant seed has the potential to grow into a plant that provides fruits, vegetables, wood, medicine, coir, or shade. While being insignificant or having a value of nothing is generally unacceptable to anyone, it is often the starting point for everything.
Of course, the concept of nothingness can seem daunting, even frightening. It's also the idea of non-existence, the absence of self, and the ultimate unknown Yet, embracing nothingness is a powerful path to inner peace and contentment. It's about accepting the impermanence of all things and finding solace in the present moment
What does it mean to be nothing when we have a body, mind, and surroundings? It involves letting go of our egotism and pride. The अहम्, or 'I,' represents the understanding that you are an empty vessel through which things need to be prepared—for yourself and others. You can be seen as an indirect benefactor or sufferer, similar to how a clean vessel reflects properly cooked food, while a burnt vessel may leave stains that take time to clean.
Only when we "Accept, Embrace, and Celebrate" our nothingness can our true selves emerge from beneath the various social, financial, cultural, and inherited masks we wear. It's time to showcase our authenticity. Let's inspire the world to value and cherish authenticity. From someone who feels like an unwanted outcast to the richest, strongest, most beautiful, or even the weakest person, there is brilliance within each of us.
Honor everyone being nothing and embrace everything in others and within yourself. 🙏
