Little Tiger in a Zoo

A little tiger one day went to his mother and asked 

Mother, when can we be free from this zoo? What special efforts should I make?

Tigress looked at little tiger and said

Son, it can't happen. You need not take any special efforts

Little Tiger looked with frustration at his mother and yelled

O Mother, why this can't happen? is this not pessimistic view of life?

are we not calling for inaction and incapability ? is this not dishonor to the breed of royal tigers? 

No.. No... No.. My dear son. You are completely mistaken ...Tigress said with a smile

We are already in a jungle and not in a zoo ! There is no question of setting free from zoo and taking special efforts!

This must be the moment of enlightenment for little Tiger when the ignorance fades away with new light of knowledge.

 This is the knowledge of truth or absolute reality that enlightened spiritual gurus have been disseminating through their work, talks, literature and actions. 

The very knowledge that we are already free , already empowered, already blissful, already complete and no special efforts are needed.
