Ability

There was a great lawyer in India. He was known to be one of the topmost men in his profession.
So clients blindly trusted his ability. Once it happened, he was a little absent minded,
and he was fighting a case in the Privy Council. Two Indian States were fighting.
He forgot - he had drunk too much in the previous night and had a hangover.
When he reached the Privy Council, he even forgot for which side he was fighting.

So he started arguing for the opposite party. He was a great lawyer so he argued well.
His assistant became very upset and anxious - what should he do? He pulled the lawyer's coat many times,
but he wouldn't listen; he was so engrossed in the debate. When there was a break for tea,
the assistant said, "You have destroyed the case. You are arguing against yourself."
But the great lawyer didn't say anything. When the court re-opened,
he said, "Up to now, I was giving you the arguments for the opposite party.
Now I will give you the arguments for my party." And he won the case.

It is ability that matters. Some people are born with such a knack that they will transform rock into gold if given a chance.
They can sell anything under the sun. I am sure in our daily life we must have come across at least one such person.
They don't need an extra platform to start with and that is their ability.
They don't blame the situation because they know how to play their cards in every circumstance.
It is an ability to flow in all directions simultaneously and in harmony with Existence/God.
We become clear in life when we have the mirror-like ability to reflect reality as it is.
So let us introspect and see if we are using all our potentials and abilities to the fullest.

Am I able to stand on my own from wherever I fall? We should be like the fallen seeds from the beak of a bird.
They sprout on their own and grow into huge trees giving shelter and shade to animals and birds.
Ability is the totality to accept life as it is and surrendering to Existence/God. And that is real ABILITY.
