My first encounter with Eiffel Tower was earthshaking.
What an engineering marvel.
Just kept gazing at the tower and was meditating.
In a few minutes the Eiffel Tower came to life and we began our conversation
I asked Him”Why are you broad at the base and narrow at the top?”
He replied”I am broad at the base because I want you to know that you should always be broad minded in life if you have to grow up I n your life. I am narrow at the top to teach you the wisdom of shedding your Ego as you grow.”
I told him”I am so confused with the river Seine and you. She is on the move always not attached either to the past,present and future but you are immobile without any change”
He replied”By my being immobile I want you to know that however tall you may grow you should remain grounded to reality and be humble”
In the night when He was illuminated the tower was of a golden hue.
I euphorically asked the tower”It looks that you are made up of pure gold “
He sported a mischievous smile and remarked “All that glitters is not gold””
Well both of us parted and I departed wiser”.
He called me again and told me”My dear son. Life is what you perceive . Do not become a slave either to flattery or appreciation because these are dangerous roads which lead us to disaster “
Well He is still with me and I look forward to more wisdom from Him.
