What are Black Pearls? - II

How can you earn a Black Pearl?
One does not have to go through a series of mind bending situations and clever exercises to become a humble bearer of this treasure of Black Pearls.
One does not have to be a wizard at intellectual skills and paranormal observer of the laws of life and nature to be an owner of these Black Pearls.
One does not have to be the conquerer of the three worlds or the one who has traveled the globe.

Sometimes, these Black Pearls will, and they do, honor a simple and low lying being who is silently listening to the voices of the Inner Universe, the Universe that thrives within the perceived Universe. The Universe that is not lit by the Rosy Daylight. Where no Sun reaches. The Universe which is illuminated by serene Moonlight of humble thought and spiritual bliss. The Universe that suddenly appears when someone is thrown out of the material Universe. Or when someone simply retires from the scorching Sun and Rosy Daylight to relax in the Inner Universe to listen to the eternal voices, the voices played by the musicians of the Goddess of Black Pearls.

Then, these Black Pearls, they simply honor you by falling into your lap as a precious, uninvited, unanticipated, and invaluable gift. When your mind is in a calm and low state, not thinking over the next days' targets and not held up high into the Rosy Daylight; and suddenly, you feel blessed by the Goddess of Black Pearls. You feel illuminated by sudden sense of awakening. You realize that an old routine happening or fact or situation that was a part of the world ever since you knew you are you, just pops its head up, totally disguised as a new entity, in the form you have never perceived it, drowning you in an intoxicating moment. To let you know that you have just been gifted a Black Pearl.

The happening, or fact, or situation that was so familiar to you, turns into a scintillating Black Pearl and you acknowledge it with a smile that shows through your eyes.

You just collected one more of them.

  1. Indeed I agree what you wrote: "they simply honor you by falling into your lap as a precious, uninvited, unanticipated, and invaluable gift."...these gifts enter into our lives unannounced, silently lending to our life a different hue..they often stay unnoticed for a while..till we recognize the life's little blessings. Your post was really thought provoking.
