Mango Purana : More about Mangoes, this time Unripe Ones

[Guest guest]

"as long as you are not married and have children you are still a

child.........I feel you are saying ...... before you are grhastha you are

brahmachari......................

 

They must have reason for saying this dont they? A householder an unripe

mangoes?

 

Yes my dear we are all unripe in certain stage of our life .Before learning to

become householder we only remember our own pursuit in life. We watch tv and see

children sick , having hole in heart or losing limb we feel compassion until

the tv is shut off. Then off we go to do the next thing . As householder we

learn that whenever we here a bad news about children somewhere in our heart our

own children come to our mind. Later any children are sick or need help we would

rush to them thinking we would expect other to do the same for our kids if we

are not there. Pretty soon our kids would have children and later our

grandchildren would have children by then everything would look like your kid

when they were small. Everybody you meet is your relative .........some time you

even forgot who is who but all are your kids. By then you are vanaprastha. You

would start wondering really what is there in life anymore ?I would retire not

to the external forest but to forest of your thought

within. You would retire within to find the answer...Then you would become the

sannyas not renounce everything in crude sense but renouncing detachment to

everything knowing everything came from the source -remember the soil. Remember

Shakthi Maa!

 

She is your various manifestation as children, mother, friends ,enemies

strangers and everything . She is the source .If this realization dawn then your

not not unripe anymore . Then you have matured........Remember when you renounce

everthing you are not renouncing your relationship with your mother but

realising all mothers are your mother ,you love all children as your children

,everybody is everything to you not the otherwise .Until we are able to do this

in some way we are still the unripe mango and we need to be on the tree longer

hopefully the enregy in the soil teach us to be just like Him. To love all

whether a good or bad mango and gives birth to all .

 

Jai Maa!!
