CORNETTO BLACKFOREST RED ICE CREAM...

Off we went to pick something to cool ourselves due to the heating weather….

Well, the best option was definitely the CREAM with lots of ICE…

I was already beginning to savor the taste of the ICED CHOCOLATE CREAM in my mouth….

As we headed straight to the Ice-cream section of the shop…each of us began picking our choices…

I really wanted the chocolate cream but I stumbled upon this new flavor – BLACKFOREST RED..

And thought to myself…Let’s try this…for a change…

As I unwrapped it…little pink rosettes and chocolate flakes greeted me…

Arrghhhh…but there was no chocolate, much to my dismay…. L
As I journeyed into the first layer, I was surprised to greet the second layer ie CHOCOLATE CREAM….Yippee J

Ah! How my heart leapt to finally see my CHOCOLATE CREAM….

                                           

I savored every bit of it…only to be further surprised with a pool of RASPBERRY SAUCE…right at the end of the journey…

And the rest of the journey was only filled with more sweetness…
And then it dawned upon me…

Many a time, when our heart is filled with a desire, and if the desire is pure and untainted, we are blessed even more than our hearts’ desire by the Cosmos…

But before our desires are gratified, we are put through a testing/trial period – to test the ability of the Soul/Self to face down the mind…to face down the tricks of the monkey mind…to eventually be able to leap back into the Supreme Awareness which is filled with divine nectar..

The first layer of the pink rosettes can be equated to a trial/testing period - something that the mind does not favour, for this is the phase, it will be challenged head on to face the Self.

And if the Self triumphs, it qualifies itself to then be bestowed with the respective desires ie journeying into the next layer/level...much desired CHOCOLATE CREAM..

As it savors the bestowed desires with a sincere heart, the Cosmos desires to bless the Self with even more, and thus, the RASPBERRY SAUCE…

In other words, let us (SELF) face down the mind, no matter what it takes, and no matter how tricky it can be, for if we don't…we will never be able to go beyond the pink rosettes….and thus ultimately miss out on the yummy CHOCOLATE CREAM AND RASPBERRY SAUCE….  J
