Donne-moi le bon levier, et je soulèverai le monde. Ou je m’assommerai avec. Un jour, mon enthousiasme me perdra. En l’occurrence, ce jour-là, un peu trop d’enthousiasme, une lourde barre de fer comme levier, pas assez d’attention, une histoire qui commence en changeant les pneus du van et finit avec des steristrip sur le front. Un ami a relevé que peut-être le coup sur ma tête était pour me rappeler que pour soulever le monde, pas besoin de bras, mon esprit suffirait. Et si le monde me semble lourd, le plus beau levier que j’ai, c’est mon coeur. Un autre m’a envoyé le texte de l’image ci-dessous, de Sri Aurobindo, L’aventure de la conscience. Au sujet des leviers, et de notre propre dynamisme. Pertinent à souhait.
Give me the good lever, and I will lift up the world. Or kick myself with it. Actually, the other day, I did both of them.
A big and heavy iron bar, perfect lever to change the wheels of my van as a tiny little lady – thanks my brother for the idea. And me, with my enthousiasm, as usual, I was taming the tool, the tool was taming me, I was delighted about the easiness of using that lever and the streght it gaves me, was too much enthiusiast and not enough present to be fair, it even kind of ended up being enthousiast about my own enthousiasm. Too much. My enthousiasm was my loss. At the moment to change the last wheel, I was confident, singing out softly, thinking about that text I wrote earlier in the morning when the heavy iron bar just brought me back to reality, hard reality of present moment. I simply lost the control of the lever, and as I was pulling on it, pulling in direction of my head – such a poor idea – it just crashed on my forhead. Heavily. Kicked by my own enthousiasm. Such a Learning. Painful but interesting.
A friend tell me that maybe that kick on my head was there to remember me that if I want to lift up the world, no need of my arms, my spirit will be enough. And if the world seems to be heavy, the only lever I have is my heart. Thank Stefano. Another one send me the text on the picture, from Sri Aurobindo. Adventure of conscience: (…) « it’s to make us understand the lever of our own dynamism and make evolution go faster. No doubts, actual position of humanity dont need to take time to look at it. That lever is Agni, the strenght-conscience, and all evolution could be described as a travel of agni in 4 movements – involution, devolution, involution, evolution – from eternal Center and in Him. Actually, the 4 movements are Him. Everything is Him. He is the game, He is the player, He is out of the time, out of space, pure Being, pure consicousness, Big Withe Silence where everything is in involution state, with no shape at the moment. And Him is becoming: Strenght tear appart from conscience, She from Him, and the travelling of Agni begin. – sorry for poor translation of such a nice text, English speaker please just buy that book and read it all –
