IDENTIFICATION

Once upon a time, there was a bee that, flitting in the grass among the flowers, delicately alighted now on one flower after another to suck the precious nectar. Finally, it landed on an extraordinary flower, the most beautiful in the meadow, which emanated a perfume so intense and so delicate that the bee became fascinated and enchanted. It was so inebriated by that wonderful perfume that it would never have parted from that flower. So, it kept sucking at the nectar and smelling its special perfume, and it lingered inside the corolla, almost forgetting that it had to go back to its hive. While it was so stuck to that marvellous blossom, an elephant arrived unexpectedly and with its trunk pulled the flower out of the ground and cast it at a certain distance. The flower, without its roots in the ground anymore, shut itself up immediately and the bee remained trapped inside the petals without any chance of getting out alive.”

The meaning of the story is simple and intuitive. You have to strive to become not much attached to the pleasures of the earth, otherwise, you will get trapped and will lose the light of your mind, just as happened to the bee.
What is the identification?

For understanding the “identification” you can look at a cat when it is chasing a mouse or a lioness when it is going to jump on its prey, or a hunting dog like a setter or a pointer, in the act of pointing the rabbit or the pheasant . All these animals are so stuck to their own objective that they cannot see other, in that moment the world disappear, it exists only two subjects the predator and the prey.

The identification can happen in every sector of our daily life: in the businesses, for instance, whenever a deal is reputed extremely important; we consider that deal as if our entire life depended on it. Sometimes in order to make a good deal we move against our moral code.

Often the identification happens in the field of the feelings. For conquering the heart of a person we like very much, we lose the light of our reason, we fight against our rivals in love.

Sometimes we are so attached to our man or woman that we are even able to commit illegal actions for pleasing him or her.
In all these situation the result is that we lose the important deal, as, because of the identification we don’t use properly our brain, and in the field of the love, we even lose our lover, because no one like to stay with someone who is too attached and consider the loved man or woman like a possession.
The identification is at the base of the “delusions”. Free from delusions we live better, we are more alive, more strong. My book can eliminate many “delusions”. It gives strength and inner energy.
My tagline is: Live, live, but put aside the “identification”!
