" this story had lot of resamblence with my own life when after experiencing all worldly pleasures i was tired of this world and looking for real meaning of life, when i met my spiritual master and by HIS GRACE experienced the hidden spiritual treasures within me. after witnessing the amazing realities of spiritual/ divine realm within me my soul was contented forever. and now i am moving all around the world in search of such souls who are living in such state where i was in my young days . because unless you have gone through everything in your life with total awareness and contemplation on your self just being spiritual is not sufficient to transcend beyond and transformed from your existing level of being. one has to drown deep in pleasures and get frustrated like Pilar...what happens we never go deep into anything , we keep on just floating on the surface.and spirituality is only for those who drown deep...so much so that they practically experience the suffocative death. only DEATH BRINGS NEW LIFE.life of spiritual dimension...life of divine vision.. life is a river..it is flowing costantly towards its destiny..DESTINY ! what is its destiny ? to MERGE IN THE OCEAN OF CONSCIOUSNESS...it merges in that consciousness from where it emerged as life of your & mine..point ! meeting point of emergence & merger is same.that we call destiny ..once sitting by the river ganga i was watching its flow and while watching it i just went into meditation-- in trance i felt like as i have become the river itself and i am flowing since ages when i asked the river where are you going ...flowing costantly .., the river answered, towards my destiny.. " when asked where is your destiny..? river laughed at me and replied mockingly , " don't you know this simple truth..i am going to merge in the ocean.
