Where is butter?
Once upon a time a humble farmer lived in a
village along with his wife and son. He had couple of cows. One day in
the morning he milked them as usual. He handed over a milk filled pot to
his wife. Looking at his young son he said - "Tomorrow give him lot of
butter to eat". The little kid was confused. He went to his mother and said -
"Mother, where is the butter? Father gave you pot of milk and asked to give me
butter. How is that?". The mother smiled at his innocence and took him to the
kitchen. She added some buttermilk to the milk pot and said - "Tomorrow I will
give you lot of butter to eat". The little boy was more confused. He
couldn't understand how his mother is going to give him butter out of milk.
Next day morning he got up from his bed, bathed and went
outside his room to see what his father is doing. Just then his mother gave
him a small bowl full of butter. Yum. It was delicious. After tasting the butter
he curiously asked his mother - "Yesterday it was just milk. How come it became
butter today?". The mother smiled and said - "Look. Butter was there in each
drop of milk. But it was hidden. Remember, yesterday I added some buttermilk to
it. It curdles the milk. So milk gets converted to curd. You then need to churn
it to finally get the butter."
The same holds true with the God too. The way
butter exists in each drop of milk, God is filled everywhere. Just
like that small kid most of the people can not identify Him. In order to reach
Him you need to mix catalyst in the form of Yama and Niyama to your
life. You further need to churn it with the sincere Yoga practice so that you
get a delicious "butter".
