The Parable of Droplet

The Droplet with shine


You can’t see the whole world unless you fly high. It’s the perspective which is more imperative than Muse. Often the environment around us changes the equation and every time we see it transform, it’s actually the reflection of our own character. Doesn’t matter how petite we could be to the world, the world doesn’t know math and hence whatever it offers is disproportionate. Sometimes, we accomplish gems without doing anything and other times even after digging six feet under, we don’t get a bite. So why to worry ourselves, calculating all gains and losses…! Why constantly measure our abilities against others. True it sounds unfair when we don’t get due credit but, the Creator (whoever he/she might be) certainly never had an instrument with him to measure things; otherwise all of us would have been the same person with equal skills and accomplishments. It’s the magic and illusiveness of endless combinations which differentiate each one of us.


Some time back, I got up and after praying Almighty, I started my day. It was a special day and I was going to learn a bizarre lesson. On my way to bus stop, there was a herd of wild weeds grown as badly as they can across the road. But there was something that caught my eye. They were hiding shining piece just like a Diamond. The luster was so overwhelming that I couldn’t stop myself from diverting my mind and explore it. To my astonishment, it was simply a drop of water.


I was surprise to acknowledge that the thing as ordinary as drop of water can shine like a diamond (only if I see it from the correct position). The early droplet of water on grass never wishes to be a diamond, but when the sunlight comes and the rays pass through it, supernatural moment, the illusiveness does justice with the water droplet. The Drop of water suddenly looks like Diamond. The inherited beauty unleash out from the mere droplet and with little help from sun rays, the Drop becomes superior to the actual Diamond. It’s the synergy between sun ray and water droplet that surpasses ordinary character. We are no different than the Droplet.


No one is perfect and so do Droplet. It’s the coexistence and combine effect which brings the best out. A part of Sunrays are diverted through the medium of Water (Droplet) and when it passes the final layer, Miracle, the incredible happens. And some part of Sunrays just gets reflected. It’s a mutual appreciation and giving nature which turns a humble drop into a shining star. Although the charm is short-lived, it ingeniously gives us the message of compassion and appreciation towards other around us to bring the best out of us.


To be or do well, we need not be special. Just like the droplet, we must inspire ourselves and for once in whole day, bring the best out of us. Get inspire from the sunrays around and give your best. If a tiny droplet can do it, then why can’t we?
