Abandon the Bed and Get Wet in the rain

I wanted to drench myself in the rain. The rain came like a thief at midnight. The north-east monsoon has started with all its might and beauty. Occasionally a flash of lightning followed by a thunderbolt shook me and made me awoke. Truly I wanted to get wet in the rain. But that was only a wish. Instead I was comfortably lying on my bed and listening to the sound of the rain. The haunting question was that how could I get the true experience of the rain. I did not want to shelve my comfort zone- my bed ! This is the real struggle; a war between the flesh and the spirit. If I really want to have that ethereal experience, I must abandon the earthly comforts of the flesh. Nail them on the cross so that I will have the heavenly experience of the rain.
