As a child, I was almost appalled by the incapacity and limitations of the human body. I wanted to run very fast, throw the ball very far and very high and fly (even though I knew it wasn’t possible). I wanted to create beautiful things and dance perfectly. However, I was unable to do these things because of the limitations of my body. I hated that I was unable to spontaneously express myself. I almost felt like being human was boring and mundane.
After listening to stories of Hanuman ji flying and Sri Krishna lifting the Govardhan on his pinky, I felt that we were so weak. And when I saw people who could do these amazing things naturally, I wished that we all could do these things spontaneously, without any special effort or training. I had wished that we humans had a body that was capable of more. Was this some kind of psychic feeling?
It is a sign that you belong to the New Creation for whom nothing really is ultimately impossible.
Affectioately,
