Someday ago i visited my native place, and i was quite happy with the surrounding.The place was surrounded by green trees, their was greenery every where, even the temperature was quite soothing. I loved the noise made by birds in morning and loved to sit by the riverside in the evening. At last i got rid of the hustle and bustle of city which is so agonizing.
There i had an intresting conversation with my uncle.
I asked him, "According to you what is chief reson behind all miseries, why is that some people try to make a habbit but they fail again and again.And then they give up"
He gave me long stair and cleared his throat and said,
"this old fella knows, a couple of things about life and will try to share it with you."
he kept his hand on my shoulder and then continued,
"Suppose you throw a stone on a very calm water, what happens.. it will generate waves by its side.Now if you you do the same thing in a wild ocean even though you throw twin towers you won't see anything.Because its so wild that you wont notice a thing." We humans are so much distracted by outer world that we forgot our inner world.We think that the happiness is derived from outer world, so we spends hours on phone, we chat endlessly, we go shopping, we do every conceivable thing to make our self happy but that happiness is short lived. And then we ask our self why don't feel happy, I got everything but i am missing something within. This is the chief reason behind most of the broken relationships where people initially feel very happy
together, they are on cloud nine, they spend hours and days together. They don't give time to themselves and after sometime they just feel themselves overwhelmed.
And this leads to broken hearts.
SO i asked him then "what we should do",
He just smiled and got up and i followed him, we started towards the river bank,then he said,
"All our frustrations and worries of life arise because somewhere we forgot our trueself that is god like. We have thrown ourself so much in the oterworld
that we hardly know what it means to live in peace. We are so much in a race to acquire money that we have started to beileve that comfort is happiness.
We are so much surrounded by sexuality and vulgarity in our society that we have forgotten what it means to be pure and godlike. Our minds are choked by contant fear of
disomforts and losing something in life. We are so much attached to outer beauty that we lost our inner beauty."
Then he looked towards the sky and i could sense that he was overwhelmed by emotions,
"" He continued, All things come from an empty place and a deep silence. We you want to know the truth then you goto go back to that empty place with in you.
You have to go back to the place where you belong. You goto feel the silence that lies within. Its like when the surface of a lake is still then you can see
what lies at the bottom."
Then i quickly if thats the case then why don't people do that,
the answer is simply he replied" Our mind is like a monkey which cannot sit at one place, it will keep on jumping from one branch to another.
and people find it difficult to control it. So they always take the easy way out".
But how can silence would help me.
Then as if something enterd his body, he said with wild uproar "Silence gives the soul the strength to overcome every obstacle.
Self Realisation is the way towards achieving everything in life. Then you are no longer disturbed by the happines and sadness because you know that
your true self is above it. You realise that there is calm buddha inside it. You will know that the god you were always looking for was deep inside you.
But to see them you have to clear your eyes which are filled with dirt of money and these worldy relationship."
And he ended with a line that i will always remember "Give up everything to realise your true self and in the end when you realise it you won't need anything,
when you don't need anything this world will offer you everything because only a king can have everything not a beggar you is begging for a penny."
I was really astonished with his understanding and i gave him a big hug. And that we wolfed down the food and and i had the most peaceful sleep in the
recent time.And all my journey back i was thinking about his thoughts. I hope that we had furher discussion on that. Till that time GooDBYE.
