Root of suffering - - -

[Guest guest]

Realisation and repeated memorization of the true knowledge is the only one

solution for this problem. The ignorance is responsible for all the anxiety and

tensions. One should know that every one has climbed the time (Kala), which is

the running train. Death is the station at which one has to get down. Then every

one should face the Lord for the enquiry.

 

After the enquiry one will get either permanent happiness or permanent misery.

The journey of this train to that station is the human life, which is only a

fraction of second when it is compared to the infinite stream of time set up

from the beginning of the creation. To think that the life is very long itself

is ignorance. Every one is sitting in a closed compartment and realisation of

the truth is the window through which every one should peep to find the infinite

time stream. Only on such comparison the human life becomes a small fraction of

a second. When the realization is absent and when there is no comparison the

lifetime appears to be very long. First one should cross this illusion of time.

Similarly, the illusion of the place. The earth looks very large under the

ignorance.

 

But if one realises the infinite space of this universe the entire earth is a

small fraction of a pinhead. Similarly one gets a comfortable seat and sits on

it thinking that he is settled in the life. Another person is moving in the

compartment in search of a comfortable seat and according to him he is not

settled. But when both these people look out through the window, which is

realisation of truth, then both realise that both are moving. Similarly one

thinks that his co-passengers are his close relatives and is worried about them.

But they get down at their respective stations and do not remember this fellow

at all. Nobody remembers their relatives of his previous birth. If one realises

that the so-called close relatives like parents, wife, children etc., are only

the co-passengers who get down at their stations, he will not have any tension

or anxiety about them. He does his duties without these two. Similarly when one

thinks that he is his body itself, he feels that

diseases damage him.

 

But if one realises that this body is only a dramatic dress needed for his

role in the present drama, he is not worried about the damage of the body. He

feels that as if his shirt is damaged. During the journey in the train one must

constantly think about the interview and prepare for it. In such case he gets

permanent happiness after the enquiry even though he is traveling in a

comfortless third class compartment. If one forgets the interview and is

attracted by the factors in the closed compartment, he is going to get permanent

misery even if he travels by a first class compartment.

 

Thus, something is good according to the ignorant people and that is bad

according to the realised scholars. This world is full of ignorant people and

only very few realised scholars are present. Therefore the behaviour of a

realised soul is criticized and mocked by the large public. But all the souls

will realise the truth after the death when they face the enquiry. But it

becomes too late by that time and nothing can be rectified. Thus, a realised

scholar never cares for the public and proceeds in the true path decided by the

true realisation. Only such true knowledge can remove the tensions and anxiety.

The path of devotion can make you forget the pain temporarily for some time. It

cannot remove the pain and anxiety on a permanent basis. No other methods like

rituals, worships, etc., can solve this problem except the frequent memorization

of the true knowledge. True knowledge is the comprehensive outlook of the whole

situation i.e., realised by looking through the

window of the train. Ignorance is the limited look inside the closed

compartment, which is related to the comforts of seats and the bonds of

co-passengers.
