So we read the headline news. All we see is bickering. Totally worthless bickering. Almost everything anyone says is weighed out based on what party you belong too
Nothing worthwhile is achieved. No national or international gain is there by headline battles.
Media likes sensationalism. The average reader is totally emotional and carried by emotions of anger and hatred, like or dislike news.
So what does this have to do with Spirtuality?
All our decisions are based on hero worship. Our personal bias. You read this blog. You like me and you will see the big favorably. If you like say swami Narayan or sadguru or some other evangelist – the moment I say something negative about them or contrary to what they teach – you will be out with guns and swords against me
Do you see the problem? You really don’t want the truth. You don’t want to make spirtual progress. You only want to hear things that
- Agree with your current thinking ( even if wrong)
- It must agree with your idol worshipping figure.
So millions of people are born and die. But not one makes progress. I might be harsh but my concept of progress is very high. I doubt I can meet my own standards
Thus many great Indian saints have sung ” sat ke Sab virodhi”. Everyone is against anyone who speaks the truth
Truth of spirituality.
I had an encounter a few months ago. One of my friends was talking about karma. And telling me all about it. And our current sad plight is a result of past karma. I listened to him. Finally, I said but that is all theory. Conjecture. Where is the proof? I asked tell me where karma is stored and how is it transferred?
My friend has not talked with me since. My point was our knowledge of things is so incomplete.
Give up your book knowledge. Go to someone adept. Learn the secrets. The real spirtual people are silent because they don’t want headline news. They truly want you to go within – know your divine self.
Remember you don’t know your divine self – so of course the enlightened person will say things that will shatter you completely. The thing that gets destroyed will be your ego, false thinking and emotions. It will hurt.
But liberation is certain. Can you take that pinch to wake up to the truth?
