An enlightening story | The Sun and The Cave

We all love to stay inspired every moment, be it in any way, whether interacting with the achievers or leaders, or by hearing the stories. Today I am going share an awesome story which will certainly inspire you. 

This story is about 'the Sun and the Cave'.


One day the sun and a cave struck up with a conversation. 

The sun had trouble understanding what 'dark' means and the cave didn’t quite get the hang of 'light and clear' so they decided to change places. 

The cave went up to the sun and said, “Ah, I see, this is beyond wonderful. Now come down and see where I have been living.” 

The sun went down to the cave and said, “I don’t see any difference.”

But the cave didn't understand why! 

When the sun went down, it took its light along and even the darkest corners were illuminated. That's why the sun couldn't see any difference. 

➥ Moral of the story: The enlightened ones can never be sent to hell or pushed into darkness. They carry their heaven on their shoulders all the time.

We thought that heaven is a place where were we are supposed to go; perhaps it was a state of mind we were supposed to achieve. 

If you are full of darkness within, full of negativity, fear and doubt, you become a cave unknowingly. It's a hell within and no matter how much you accumulate, you still remain hollow. 

If you are illuminated like the sun, then the darkness of the cave wouldn't matter. You could be in the worse of circumstances, you'll still be able to find a blessing somewhere. You'll be carrying your heaven with you.
