THE SEARCH ENDS by Chennai based K.B.Gopalakrishnan 6th Feb., 2008 9:16 Am
Some one came to my house and asked whether she is spiritual or not? I use to frequently question my guru sensei kirtie what is my sadhana. One day he said “every one does sadhana whether one likes it or not. This Is god’s world . One is aware or not that is different question”.
Every one knows god exist- even the most atheist person will say some supreme power exist. May be it is nature. Whatever description one gives they all talk about the supreme power.
It is very strange every one has a guru. We admire people in life and want to emulate. We have little situations which teach profound things. For example I realized that having teeth and chewing food is a blessing. Walking with out any pain in legs is a blessing. I know some people can not chew food or walk properly due to old age. May be children words our spouse anger teaches us some thing. Small miracles show that we can trust life.
Every one knows what is dharma. There was a lady who is known to me. She did not have children for many years. She was working in a hospital and helping doctors in abortions. She remarked” One day I felt that what I was doing wrong. May be I did not have children because of it after that I refused to do abortions”. Who told her what was good and what was wrong. Some thing deep inside spoke to her. So every one knows what is good and what dharma is. One might not accept it openly and will not have courage to follow due to ego.
Every one knows that repentance helps purify the karma. Every one knows that in deep pain they ask sorry to god. There are many people whom I have met without knowing much on law of karma they say that they must have done something wrong in past lives . I must have harmed some one. Such clear understanding comes from culture which does have clear understanding of karma.
Every one does sadhana – some people do sadhana by being lover, husband, wife, mother or father. Whenever we seek love we are doing sadhana. The intelligent or the mental aspect of love is called as understanding. Greater the understanding deeper the love. Some subject we want to learn be it music, art, dance, poetry and computers. We want to understand the supreme through some medium. That is what we call as work. Gibran writes poetically work is love made visible. We want to show the world our love. When it is come back in the form of appreciation and acceptance, life becomes meaningful and fulfilled.
Every one is intelligent in their own way- some people measure in IQ some in EQ; women are intelligent in something, men in some other subjects. Even animals, plants have this intelligence. To measure people in limited manner using some criteria itself is delusion.
Every one want to modify and rectify in pain – ask people when did they learn most. In pain will be the most probable reply. The loss, the emotional pain makes us to change our self. Even a person who does not read Holy Scriptures or worship at the feet of holy master want this. There fore virtue practice is innate in every one life.
Add to this
We will always have limitation. We will always make mistakes We will never have perfect relationship.
One will begin to relax. It has been long journey in my case. Many people would have understood long back. I thank my teacher for pointing out such a noble truth in a simple fashion.
I dedicate the merit of this articles to my family, the lineage, to my friends, my students to the world to have peaceful conversation with every one and may happiness and satisfaction bloom in their heart.
