Ant – The Spiritual Messenger of Power Within
Ant – The Spiritual Messenger of Power Within
Ants appear
From no where
When you feel lost & out of track
To tell you the story how The Divine works
And to help you look within
And find out that inner spark
And make you understand
It is time to collaborate & team work…
If you feel low & weighed down
And over powered by situations, people & surroundings
It is time to look inward
And to switch on your instincts
And unleash the power within your core & heart
Ants I believe are omnipresence creatures, live in every corner of the earth. Biologically they are eusocial insects having a significant role to play in environment.
However I am not going to talk here how they help or contribute to our environment. As I am going to talk about the eco-spirituality, ants carry great spiritual messages.
Have you ever wondered how these tiny creatures suddenly appear from nowhere, making a trail to the kitchen platform or food sources at your houses. My mother often would say that it indicates upcoming rain. And trust me, she would never dry the pickle on the terrace or would never allow washing heavy clothes like bedcovers n all for few days. And every time she would be right. In Orissa, rain does rain in only monsoon, it can rain at any time of the year as it’s a cyclone prone state.
Appearance of ants has different meaning at different situations. Even if they appear, every time, they might not catch your attention. If they are catching your attention, you register their sight, then there must be a message they are carrying for you. Below are couple of them as per my observation
- A new positive change is coming up. It is not a life changing event but it’s break between a monotonous routine.
- Abundance is out there
- Sometimes, probably you are disconnected from your source. Ants appearing before you may be asking you to stay connected to your community, routes.
- You need to spend time with family if you are feeling worn off. That will re-charge you.
- If you feel powerless or helpless at any life situations, then if ants are drawing your attention, then they want to tell you that you are more powerful that you even think off. An ant can carry over 20 times their own weight. So power is within us. All we need to do is understanding this & unleashing that power.
- Ants often also come up with a warning too. An impending scarcity or an unwanted event might be on the card. Keep your instincts alert so that you can sense it & be prepared for it.
- Ants also carry the insight that team work, hard work, preparedness & diligence is need of a situation. “One bee cannot build a hive: one ant cannot build a colony”
- There are situations where you feel fear, may be before a mighty situation or person. Ants remind you that change your strategy, instead of playing a victim, start being assertive. Attack is the best defence. “It is the ant, not the lion, which the elephant fears – Matshona Dhliwayo.” Remember the dialogue by Ajay Devgan in the movie Singham, “ek chinti chahe to haathi se tandav bhi kara sakti hai” There is a power in being small too. 😊
- Most importantly ants remind us that we should celebrate our partnership with the Divine.
There are other insights too. Ants often come up as a trailblazer & guide in life. In our belief system often it is said that leaving a bit of sugar at anthills often consider as a charity that attracts good luck. However, I feel its actual meaning is to do some small charity or helpful work at your capacity. Like feed the hungry people, help the under privileged. That will attract prosperity & good luck.
The above are entirely my own observations. When I say ants drawing your attention, it could be anywhere, may be online, movies, tv…etc & just not in & around your houses.
Next time if ants catch your attention, be mindful for a while & observe what thoughts comes to your mind out of the above. That is your message & let me know if it resonated with you.
