'YES.. I'M PROGRESSING IN SPIRITUAL PATH!'


"I try instigating this person to enjoy, the individual immediately firms up within,

'I won't.. I embraced spirituality!'"

Desire said helplessly..

"I try instigating this person to flare up, the individual immediately firms up within,

'I won't.. I embraced spirituality!'"

Anger said fuming..

"I try instigating this person to show off, the individual immediately firms up within,

'I won't.. I embraced spirituality!'"

Pride said head bent down..

"I try instigating this person to compare, the individual immediately firms up within,

'I won't.. I embraced spirituality!'"

Jealousy said totally lost..

"Yes.. For the first time we lost control on human.. Where are our greed and delusion? Totally missing?"

"There's a message from them.. Seems, very, very busy!"

"What busy when our house is burning?"

"Hello all of you, See there.. They are there next to that same our person.. How come?"

As all 4 looked out,

In distance they saw the person with whom they became utter failure seen calm and cool with

Greed briskly making the person greedily collect all the required things for the day's Spiritual Programme and

Delusion non stop keeping the person deluded with an endless thought within

'YES.. I'M PROGRESSING IN SPIRITUAL PATH!'

I TRULY FELT SO GOOD FOR A MOMENT!


Years back, I was on my usual round of walk to the nearby Market Area to buy a few groceries and return.. I regularly prefer this walk of 1 km about 10 mts to the Market Area as the same is quite relaxing and invigorating in the mid morning hrs especially in the warm sunlight of winters..

As I finished my work and was returning home by walk in middle of my walk, a woman of late 30s sitting on the side of the road asked me something in her mother tongue showing a distant Cloth Poster tied to two poles advertising for admissions to a new Kindergarten School being opened in the neighborhood. For a while, I couldn't understand what the lady was asking and I was dumbstruck..

  • The woman repeatedly asked her question showing at the Advertisement and I ultimately had no way of getting away from there and for a while, was trying to understand what her question related to the Advertisement was..
  • Finally, I just answered her speaking the content of Advertisement with a mixture of English and one or two words of her own language known to me and thus conveyed the gist of the Advertisement. When I used those words, the woman nodded her head, thanked me in her own words with a smile and bid me ‘Bye’..
As I started walking further, the thoughts continued in me on the woman’s interest connected to the Poster as the School was never for the people like her or me for our own children and thus could never conclude on her requirement..
  • Just then, a bus fully colored Yellow over took me with the people in the bus all dressed up in Yellow singing in chorus a Devotional Song. It was pleasant to listen to their Song and when I took a small look that side, it suddenly struck me..
  • Yes! The bus was painted Yellow, the people in the bus dressed up in Yellow drapes and the Lady waiting for the bus and who enquired me about the Poster too was in her Yellow Costume. That means, she is one of the Devotees of the Devotional Group.. But what was her interest in the Poster?
Another flash came up in no time and that really clarified my doubt. Yes.. The cloth of the Poster too was Yellow in color!
  • Means, she wanted to know whether the same colored Poster by chance was carrying any of her own Group's related activities and if that was the case, she was worried whether she was missing participating in any one of them. And squarely there was a language barrier for her as she could not make out anything written there in English..
But being educated too, I was not great at that moment as the color insensitivity had taken over me at that point of time!
  • I felt instantly so good to know that the Lady Devotee who was next to me sometime back had such a deep Faith, totally believed in the Almighty in her own way, never wanted to do anything less there and sincerely was filling up all gaps in the Devotional Program which was 'On' for that entire month and would go thus during the Winter periods of every year!

MONEY, AUTHORITY, POWER AND DUTY CONSCIOUSNESS!

The Money minded person made the statement..

"Money makes many things. If it's there only, people are around you. The moment you don't have money, all will leave. That's the world!"

The Authority wielding person affirmed..

"Authority assures all things. If it's there only, people are around you. The moment you don't have authority, all will leave. That's the world!"

The powerful person proclaimed..

"Power paves way for everything. If it's there only, people are around you. The moment you don't have power, all will leave. That's the world!"

The duty oriented person smiled and said..

"Duty consciousness controls the required things. If you are duty bound, it doesn't matter people are around you or not. The moment you are not duty bound, all is zero worth.. 

That's the Truth!"

AN ODE TO THE CITY I LIVE IN!


May be 
Might have gone and are going on till date 
Those my 
Interactions with others at my place, 
But
They, 
Ever make my heart flutter again and again 
Making me feel deep within
That

The questioning looks well justified 

as 

Unless one picks up the pace, 

Living would be coming to a halt in no time

And 
that thought
Made my inner feelings firm up with a

SINGLE MESSAGE

“Wherever I may go, 
have to come back to 
my 
SWEET HOME CITY 
ultimately one day, 
my 
The Dearest and Ever Remembered Place on the Earth!

 Whatever my level be, 
ultimately 
I'm the King here;
nothing less at any time
And 
In whatever fashion 
All these people may interact with me,
At the end of the day, 
They are my People 
and 
Forever are Unique to me in this Entire World!"

Indispire Prompt

HAPPY DIWALI.. LIGHTING THE 'EXTRA LIGHT!'


"I have mastered many, many things in the world..
  • The Titles conferred on me are so many..
  • The Recognition Certificates I received number to....
  • The Appreciation letters given to me are not countable..
  • The invitations sent to me are piled up here..
  • The prizes received by me are kept visible in the front room glass shelf..
  • My access world wide at any time is to places....
  • The honors conferred on me you can see here..
  • The badges given to me.. God.. They lay everywhere..
Let me take up presently...." 

Thus were going on my thoughts endlessly. The wise personality in distance was seen smiling at me asking..

"Along with these, have you mastered one more thing?"

"What's that, Sir?"

I shot back..

"Have you Mastered your 'Self?'

"Means?"

Does the 'Self' in you listen to you
As you forego something and
That reaches the eligible one next
Out of your full freedom?"


"-------"

"Yes.. Dear! No doubt, worldly achievements are great and you should never stop working in that direction but that feeling should keep you further active making you discover your 'self' too to whatever level it be and you  should 
start living that life with all humility..

Are you ready to light up this

'EXTRA LIGHT'

In your heart on this 

DIWALI FESTIVAL DAY

And remain at true peace?"

Saying thus the wise personality slowly disappeared in front of me leaving a cheer with me behind!

HERE, PRACTICE MAKES IT EVER LESS PERFECT!


"I embraced spirituality!"

"Great.. But know one thing!"

"What's it?"

"In every field, the Saying goes..
  • Practice makes perfect!
In spiritual field.. It's the reverse..
  • Practice makes less perfect!"
"You mean to say, a person who practiced Spirituality for years is no better than one who embraced spirituality recently?"

"The answer is 'Yes' as well as 'No!'"

"I don't get the point!"

"Yes.. Spirituality bereft of humility is nothing but another worldly life under the mask of spirituality!"

"How?"

"As one gets into spiritual practices, pride invariably follows the person with feelings like..
  • 'I'm superior!'
  • 'I'm something different!'
  • 'I'm gaining!'
  • 'I'm rising towards Godhood!'
Etc..

A person at the back of such a proud feeling is never in spiritual field!"

"Then what's the way of living spiritual life? You mean to say none can be spiritual?"

"I never said no..
  • If the individual remains humble as much constantly doing his/her ordained duties to the best of his/her capabilities,
He/she is truly in the Spiritual Path as conveyed by the Great Saint..

"The person working at the busy cross roads unmindful of noisy surroundings putting up the best efforts on the task in front is far more Spiritual than the person who preaches/claims authority on Spirituality!"
