The Leaking Bucket

You know, from my experience, I have found out that for all those questions that we do not have an answer to, the answers are hidden in this world of ours. We only have to make the sincere effort to know. For those who seek the knowledge, it is there for the taking.

We are all familiar with the phrase "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you".

So, I asked the question why is everyone in this world having a different experience? Even children born at the same place at the same time on the same day are going through entirely different life experiences. What is the reason for it?

This is the answer I got. I am sharing it with you here. This will be a logical explanation to Karma.

The Leaking Bucket

We are born on this Earth with an invisible bucket that can give us all the things that we need. But,  there is a problem. The bucket has a hole at the bottom and is constantly leaking. So, it is imperative that we work towards refilling the leaking bucket faster than it depletes. All the good things that we do, make the hole smaller, while all those not so good things that we do, make it larger. Ultimately, it is upon us to decide if we want to be left with a near empty bucket or a near full bucket.

The best thing about this bucket is that we get to take it along with its contents when we leave this Earth. Everything else, we leave here.

So, while we aspire to fulfill our material ambitions, it is imperative that we ensure that we do not forget to fill this leaky bucket.

The bucket is easily filled with our good thoughts and deeds for others, both living and non-living, insects, plants, animals and humans. 

Do things that do not take much effort, to begin with. Feed or provide water for the birds, animals in your neighbourhood. Wish a good life for all your friends, relatives, the society and the entire universe. Wish everyone to be happy. Wish sincerely.

If you have not already been doing this, it is high time you started filling the bucket. Remember, the bucket is leaking constantly.

Even though the concept occurred to me in a flash, as if someone placed that thought into my mind, I later found out that the analogy of the leaking bucket or leaky bucket analogy is regularly used in marketing and sales.
