Every cellphone has its uniqueness. When we buy cell phone first we look into our requirements and accordingly we select cell phone.
A cellphone as a plain vanilla entity with just a metal enclosure will not serve any purpose…. there is a need to incorporate a communication chip-set (SIM) card with the necessary electronic circuitry for enabling it as a communication device. Also, consider the cell-phone as an ecosystem which has an operating system built in and hosts multiple applications which interact with the operating system but each one has been designed to provide a certain functionality.
The cellphones without the intelligence built in would not be either a communication device neither serve as a smartphone. Humans have designed the intelligence required for the cellphone ecosystem to work and humans also interact with the smartphone and read/access information, play or use it for entertainment.
When existence has created us they send us with our uniqueness.
The beauty and blessing of existence is that every single individual is unique. This is the beauty and the glory of existence. This is a blessing, that nobody like you has ever existed and will ever exist again. You are simply unique. Don’t waste this uniqueness in running after some shadow.
Drop becoming anybody else. Drop the very idea that you have to be according to some discipline, some scripture, some theology. Forget completely that you have to be like Jesus or Buddha or Mahavira, and suddenly you will find you are who you are. Live it joyously, without any guilt. Existence wanted you to be what you are. If existence wanted another Jesus he would have created thousands of Jesuses, there is no problem. He would have made Jesuses on an assembly line. But he makes only individuals. Existence never duplicates, never makes anybody similar to somebody else.
In such an analogy, then we become instruments of intelligence and guided by a divine force have unique characteristic with our unique role-play and assignment, this would only become clear if we drop our comparisons and recognize our individuality, focus on our strengths, divine purpose and playful living with a full faith in the divine.
Comparison is a disease, one of the greatest diseases. We are taught from the very beginning to compare. Your mother starts comparing you with other children. Your father compares. The teacher says, “Look at Johnny, how well he is doing, and you are not doing good at all!”
From the very beginning you are being told to compare yourself with others. This is the greatest disease; it is like a cancer that goes on destroying your very soul. Each individual is unique, and comparison is not possible. I am just myself and you are just yourself. There is nobody else in the world to be compared with. Do you compare a marigold with a rose flower? You don’t compare. Do you compare a mango with an apple? You don’t compare. You know they are different – comparison is not possible.
Man is not a species. Each man is unique. There has never been any individual like you before and there will never be again. You are utterly unique. This is your privilege, your prerogative, life’s blessing – that it has made you unique.
