THE TOTAL HUMAN BEING!

Once upon a time, Bhakti, Shakti and Ukti were living together..

Bhakti used to address issues of life thru' belief and praying,

Shakti used to address issues of life thru' hard work and honesty and

Ukti used to address issues of life thru' smartness and clarity..

On a day, there was a tough problem in front of the 3..

Bhakti tried the best to address the problem thru' tools of action belief and praying. There was some success but no full solution..

Shakti tried the best to address the problem thru' the tools of action honesty and hard work. There was some success but no full solution..

Ukti tried best to address the problem thru' the tools of action smartness and clarity. There was some success but no full solution..

The 4th one stepped in, straight away addressed the problem to 80% level and remained contented..

The 3 asked,

"How could you achieve this?"

"I used the combination of your own 6 qualities

Honesty,
Hard work,
Smartness,
Clarity,
Belief and
Praying

Together!"

"But you too did not address the problem fully!"

"Agreed, but the last tool of action, praying kept me fully contented with what I got!"

"Who are you?"

"I am Vyakti.. Involving the combination of you 3..

THE TOTAL HUMAN BEING!"

As Night falls and darkness looms around..

THE NEVER SEEN TRAP IN SPIRITUALITY!

• "Law bound living is my life!"

Said one with a cheer..

• "Law bound living interwoven with morals is my life!"

Said the other with a smile..

• "Law bound living interwoven with morals and ethics is my life!"

Said the 3rd one with all firmness..

• "Law bound living interwoven with morals, ethics and helping others is my life!"

Said the 4th one with great joy..

• "Law bound living interwoven with morals, ethics helping others and artistic expression of myself is my life!"

Said the 5th one with all pleasantness..

God Smiled from Above and Blessed all..

• "Leave all those practices. They take you nowhere. Varied ways of law bound living are in front of you. Choose any way you want. Just add to that Spirituality. That's it.. You are complete and me, 100% sure of it!"

Said the 6th one with an assertion..

God remained Silent..

Just at that moment on distant loud speakers, Sloka 14 of Bhajagovindam was heard being recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel..

'jatilo mundii lujnchhitakeshah
kaashhaambarabahukritaveshhah
pashyannapi cana pashyati muudhah
udaranimittam bahukritaveshhah'

Many move with matted locks,
Many move with clean shaven heads,
Many have hairs plucked out,
Some clothed in saffron,
Others various colors,
All for living. None sees the Truth so evident in front!

I KNOW.. I DON'T KNOW!

One said,

"Reverend Sir! I feel I am limited in my approach in respect of what I am doing presently.  Do advise me on my future course of action!"

The Master replied,

• "Streamline and continue doing your duties as Sloka 35, Chapter III of Srimad Bhagavad Gita reiterates....!"

The other said..

"Master, I feel I can do something better compared to what I am doing presently. Advise me on my future course of action!"

The Master replied,

• "Take up more responsibilities and continue doing your duties as Sloka 35, Chapter III of Srimad Bhagavad Gita reiterates....!"

The 3rd one queried,

"Reverend Sir! I feel that I am doing exactly what Sloka 35, Chapter III of Srimad Bhagavad Gita reiterates. Do I need to do anything beyond?"

The Master remained silent. The boy in the neighborhood was heard repeating aloud one of the proverbs he learnt in his class on the previous day..

"Pride goes before fall!"

A DAY'S PRAYER!

That evening as part of my daily routine, I left my footwear, washed my feet and face and entered the temple premises..

• "The Highest Worship of Me is forever respecting My Creation and the Order in My Creation. Have you checked on that before coming to Me?"

Was the No1 reminder from God to me..

• “There is no place in your heart for blind beliefs when you come here. Hope you are making efforts to free yourself of these by saluting to that Reality first!”

Was the next reminder from the Lord as I started doing my Pradakshinas round the Idol..

• “Surrender to weakness, I keep away from you; Surrender to Truth, I stay next to you!”

Was one more reminder from the Almighty as I cleaned the floor around me, sat there and started the Prayer closing my eyes..

• “Do the duty, I am with you; Keep away from duty, I am not with you!”

Was the then silent reminder from the Lord as I completed my Prayer..

• "Help those in need through your success. Never keep off!”

Was the gentle reminder from the God as I got up and rang the Sacred Bell 3 times..

• “In failures, learn max from your mistakes; never feel despondent!'”

Was the then quiet reminder from the Lord as I was taking the Aarti..

• “Believing Me is ever associated with believing people ultimately!”

Was the important reminder from the Almighty as I was taking the Theertham offered..

• "Give the other person a chance to listen on what he/she says or wishes to say. I am sure you are into this in all your interactions with others!"

Was the valuable reminder from the Lord as I bowed down to offer my Salutations..

• "You are a Trusty to all your assets at any point of time; nothing more. Hope you have made a note of this Truth next to you!’

Was the subtle reminder from the Almighty as I started leaving the Place..

• “I never said not to worship Other Gods. Promise me you make a note of this deep in your heart!"

Was the final reminder from the Almighty as I came out of the Temple Premises and headed home filled with an unknown joy in my heart!

AS LUXURY NARROWS DOWN..

The luxurious car pulled out of the palatial Bungalow and zoomed in no time. As the AC was cooling the interior of the car at it's peak, the phone was thru'..

"Sure, a luxury purchase.. What? 10 lakhs more?  Ok.. Go ahead.. I should definitely have this which none in my neighborhood can afford.. Find out when the delivery is!" 

After a while, again the phone was thru'..

"Yes.. I want the job to be done.. Don't want to hear 'NO' here.. It doesn't matter..  Half a lakh, does the job means, let that do. I'm okay with it!"

The phone was thru' the 3rd time..

"I say, today is the party..  It should be all grand..  Nothing less to be done.. 20k? It's nothing.. Book the venue right now!"

Soon the car stopped at the signal. A man appeared near the car window.. Differently abled.. 

"Give him this 10 note.. He is in difficulty.. Can't work!"
