SELF EXPRESSION AND SELF ELEVATION.. WHAT ARE THEY LIKE AT ROOT LEVEL?


'The purpose of life on earth is
Continuous Expression and Simultaneous Elevation
In line with the Eternal Truth
The beginning and end of which can never perceived by the limited mind!'

When the Contemporary Philosopher happened to praise a foreign made item compared to His own country made one, a disciple from the audience pointed out that patriotism was missing in the Great Man's words. The Spiritual Master smiled and said,

"Tell me.. According to you which item is really superior in functionality at the back of individual Technologies with the Product Manufacturers?"

Thereby teaching me the lesson No 1 of my life in respect of Self Expression..

'All my emotional talk should end with me when the Scientific Temper is 'ON' around me, whatever be the context!'
  • When the disciple found his Master moving suspiciously towards bushes, he followed Him only to find out that He went to there to answer the Nature's Call. He could no more keep his act of doubting his own Master and revealed it to Him  asking him to punish him for the misdeed. The Master smiled and said,
"Never leave that doubting and do not spare even your Master in that however great He be!"

Therein teaching me the lesson No 2 of my life in respect of Self Expression..

'Search, question and find out that in store and never get into a belief!"
  • The Great Saint once advised a man who used to love his goat kid max on how to meditate..
"Imagine that goat kid's face and meditate on that form. You don't need any God's Form to meditate!"

Thereby teaching me the lesson No 3 of my life in respect of Self Expression..

'Every one has his/her freedom of chasing own dream life and in the process, there is ultimate happiness for the individual. Never leave that chasing of yours whatever be compulsions and constraints around you!'
  • Whenever the Great Man was praised even a bit, He used to feel instantly restless. He used to search and find out Himself any mistake He was doing, bring out the same in front of others to stress the fact that He was not that Great and then alone was at peace..
Thereby teaching me the lesson No 1 of my life in respect of Self Elevation..

'Do not yield to praise in life and sooner you come out of that and start accepting your mistakes, the better!'
  • When the disciples were not happy with a man of ill-repute visiting the Ashram regularly, the Great Saint said,
"I see this man daily coming to this place in time, himself well dressed and groomed and sits thru' full time paying all the attention. Why don't you learn those good habits of him and implement?"

Thereby teaching me the lesson No 2 of my life in respect of Self Elevation..

'See as much good in the other man and carry that respect for him/her instead of resort to the easy path bringing out the man's defects!'
  • The Great Saint used to live almost outside openly. When questioned on that, He used to say,
"I live in my home. The sky is my roof, the hills around are my walls, the earth is my floor and the way in front is the door!"

Therein teaching me the Ultimate Lesson No 3 of my life in respect of Self Elevation..

'Differences and divisions forever lead to pain in life and it is better to you be seeing Unity in diversity as much!'
