NARNIA--




This is the story of four ordinary children- Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie. They discover a wardrobe in Professor Digory Kirke's house that leads to the magical land of Narnia. The Pevensie children help Aslan, a talking lion, save Narnia from the evil White Witch, who has reigned over the kingdom of Narnia for a century of perpetual winter.



Peter in this movie is leadership. Leading mind to the rite direction. As soul takes front seat instead of following mind and senses since ages. As peter finds in himself the capability to lead. Susan is courage. It’s the courage of susan not to leave narnia in the clutches of white witch which convinces peter to lead. It’s the courage of mind which convinces soul and mind to form a friendship strong enuf to reach back home. Edmund is wayward mind who because of being lead by senses forgets his true duty. But once he understands his mistake he becomes a support on which we can lean. Once mind becomes convinced and starts walking on the path back home, it becomes true friend of soul. And dear sweet Lucy is that childlike innocence and coviction which is needed to enter the gates of GOD’S aboad our true home. As it is said some where that to reach inside the home of lord the soul needs to be innocent and pure like a child.



These all four qualities form together a band which helps a soul to reach back home. With the loving support and guidance of ASLAN- the MASTER. As ASLAN stand aside to let the band decide for themselves , choose the path . decision of treading on spiritual path shud be taken after full consideration. Coz this is not the holiday travel. It’s the path of discipline and determination of a full life time. Where many tests will come along the way. Where we may find ourselves incompatible. And yet we are never alone coz when we most need it…ASLAN- the MASTER is always standing there ready to give the support, the push that we may need to go on.



The most wonderful part in this movie which touched this soul too much was in the second sequence of this movie. When Lucy is trying hard to find ASLAN. Yet others don’t believe HE cud be alive. Since many ages or years have passed when they saw HIM last. But Lucy in her childlike innocence is unable to believe that ASLAN can be gone from narnia. What is narnia without ASLAN? When she finally sees HIM .. she ask why she was unable to see HIM earlier. ASLAN replies—coz u were not looking hard enuf..



WOW!!! How true it is. First thing… earth can never be alone ..without a living perfect MASTER existing every time on it. What is earth without a perfect MASTER???

And yet we are unable to see HIM …coz we are never looking hard enuf. Not even as we sit in our dark room..waiting for HIM to appear. Lost in our own train of thoughts. With our own drunken monkey. We are never really waiting for HIM or looking for HIM..



And yet we keep complaining that we can’t see HIM… even when HE always keeps assuring us that HE is nearer to us then our own breath.



As dr Johnson writes—the veil that seperates us from HIM is not thicker then the wing of a butterfly. And yet we are unable to pierce thru such thin layer of veil. Coz we are never really looking for HIM.



THE POLAR EXPRESS-----



For this cartoon movie one scene says all….



The main actor a boy in this movie who doesn’t believe in Christmas or in Santa, gets a chance to ride a polar express which takes children to the home of Santa. He is unable to hear the jingling sound of Christmas bells.



The last scene when he finally believes in christmas and santa, he still is unable to hear the jingling sound. Desperatly yearning to hear this sound… his yearning is rewarded when he hears the sound of bell, which santa HIMSELF gave him. When he comes back home with this bell given to him by santa, no one who sees this bell can hear it’s sound. Only the believers and childlike innocent souls hear it.



The message in this last scene says….



This bell is always ringing…only u have to believe……..



That’s the reward of faith. As MASTER says…. The sound is always ringing within us only we have to learn to have faith in HIM and try hard enuf and yearn enuf to catch it….and we can…. We all can……
