A USUAL ADVICE THAT NEEDS CORRECTION.. ONCE IN A WAY!

“My dear! It's not easy for ordinary people like us to embrace the Path of Renunciation..

The Great Saint too prior to attaining His Sainthood, was advised by His Master to live the life as a king with all the related responsibilities as a prerequisite to that..

Not knowing this, if we straight away divert our time and energies towards philosophical field, we ultimately lose both 

THE HEAVEN AND THE HEAVEN ON EARTH!"

Thus was saying an aged man to a youngster who showed a lot of interest to embrace the Path of Renunciation and was cooling him off.

A man of the same age but of deep intuition and understanding who happened to listen to that talk said to the aged man after the youngster left..

“Dear! I agree that what you've advised the young man is appropriate as such a state of mind in general is an emotional state which sure in time fades off.. 

Here, advising on leading the life with normal responsibilities is sure the best course of action for most of the young men and women.. 

But equally we should not forget one point..

The thrust to embrace Spirituality in the world is ever associated with great vigor, strength and energies and is never the other way. So to say, 

THE YOUTH ALONE ARE EVER FIT FOR THIS TASK..

I may need to correct your story of the Great Saint to have more meaning to what you said..

He, as was advised, lead the life of a King with full responsibilities in one birth but 

WAS READY FOR RENUNCIATION AT THE YOUNG AGE ONLY IN THE NEXT BIRTH..

As told in another story..

When the night watchman on vigil was repeating, 

“Be awake and take care!”

Most of the residents got up from sleep, checked their doors for security and again went to sleep except 

An young man who thought,

“Am I sleeping in my life?”

With the routine saying, straight away opened the door and left home forever to 

MEDITATE AND EVOLVE!

These may be stories next to us with no factual info but the ever fact next to me is..

IN LIFE, DRASTIC CHANGES ARE NOT A MYTH TOO..

So whenever I've to address such instances, let me no doubt start advising everywhere on leading a normal life with the usual responsibilities but if required

LET ME BE READY TO ADVISE IN THAT LINE TOO IF SIGNS OF RENUNCIATION ARE SEEN MORE OFTEN!"
