Hello Readers
Hope you all are doing fine.
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer;
If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.
-Swami Vivekananda
Hmm... Again here comes the weekend and I am
ready to talk to you on yet another focus.
Want to start with little bit of my blogging
journey, I have written 175 blogs and this is my 176th blog, when I
think about the feedbacks I have received for all those topics I have written
there has been positive and negative ones which is very healthy and generally
people have said I get stuck in a redundant cycles sometimes where I have ended
up repeating what I have written. I would like to thank each one of you for
considering reading what I write and the motivation and will surely work towards
improving my blogs.
One life is what we all have, and what we achieve
in this one life is the point I want to touch upon.
I got this idea actually after reading a 70+
page speech of Sri Swami Vivekananda called “The master” the only book where the Swami speaks about his guru
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.
I learnt lot of truths after reading this book;
I would like to share some of it.
The book speaks about the golden truths of
life like how should a teacher behave? And first of all who is a teacher? What
is the actual meaning of religion?
You know these are all basic questions for
which we have got many answers which we now consider standard and noble but
this article gave me a new perspective of thinking about:
The rich traditions and culture of India, the
comparison of the Indian society and the occidental society, how the Indians
thought of this world which was way more matured than a Western men’s business minded
thinking.
There is a particular chapter about women in
this context it is all about Sri Sarada Devi the guru Matha of the Swami and
the consort of Sri Ramakrishna whom he considered as a mother all through his
life, and which was gladly accepted by the great Sannyasin, it says “ even in
the midst of the ignorance in which the average Hindu woman lives, the midst of
what you call the western countries lack of freedom ,there would arise a woman
of this supreme spirituality, who stood by Ramakrishna till he left his body as
his mother.
Well I would urge everyone to read this book “My
master” to experience how life can be.
Some takeaways I learned after reading: The
level of thinking of each and every individual in India should try to think in
similar lines beyond religion, beyond temples churches and mosques and first
understand the true meaning of religion.
Understand what it is to be a teacher is and
what can a teacher give his disciple if he thinks only in the upliftment of his
student in a totally selfless attitude.
A total non-materialistic view of this society
which will just astonish us and which proves is the core strength in the unity
which defines India.
We need to remember the people who lived and
who have created a bright path for us to lead our future generations, I am very
sure I will carry the torch and show this path to as much as people I can, and
spread this message to me next generation.
Why don’t we all join and make this mission a
great success?
So this life, this one rare life what has
been gifted us by this universe put it to best of use and become an example for
the generations to come.
Good day.
