How painful it must be for a caterpillar to transform into a butterfly? I don't know.
But the joy to finally be a butterfly must be transcendental. Great pain is followed by indescribable joy.
If the caterpillar resists this painful process then the transformation will not happen. If it hangs between accepting the pain and resisting it then the process will be prolonged. Only when it embraces the pain it will finally be liberated.
May be there is a lesson here. Opening up to the pain is necessary for the birth of this 'new' thing. This is the process of creativity. Complete absorption & surrender. Sometimes we want to change things within us. We want to give birth to a 'new me'. But if we resist the pain then we will fail. This does not mean that we have to be brave; it simply means accepting, opening up and to let it happen.
But what is the seed of this thought? I think we sow the idea when we want a thing badly. As badly as want to breathe.
The little girl asked, "How does one become a butterfly/" Her mother responded, "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar".
PS: How painful is it for the seed to sprout?
