Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Whiplash "Har din har pal chalthaa rehthaa.. sangraam kahin man ke bheetharMein tera dwaar na dhoond sakhaa Sayii bhatak rahaa hun dagar dagar" "It is a struggle within, every day... every minute... I am lost Sayee... trying to find my way to your abode " Scriptures and Sadguru stress one important feature of human life. That is, the duty of a human life exists in seeking the very purpose that the life may have and knowing what life is about. It is in this context that humans are considered very fortunate and human life meritorious. Amidst the checkers of the good and the bad, happiness and misery, may lay this quest, dormant. Unsuspectingly beautiful or seemingly painful happenings of one's life may still be quite trivial relative to the quest to seek reasoning for the bigger. Sadguru Sainath said that to know the Brahman, meditation is necessary. By this constant practice, all the thoughts will be pacified, the yearning intensified, and eventually the distinction between the objective of meditation and the meditator lost, meaning the purpose is achieved. Baba also said that He is the inner ruler of all beings and He is the wire puller of the show of the universe. He added that nothing will harm those who turn their attention towards Him, but Maya will lash or whip those who forget Him. Nectar-like words! When is the right time to contemplate on thoughts such as the above? Does human life have a stage allotted for the thoughts of spiritual nature? If so, when? Shri B. Hanumantha Rao in "Sai Anusaranamu" wrote that fortunate are those who realize the transient nature of mundane happiness at the early stage of their life and dedicate their efforts for self-realization at the feet of Sadguru. How true! No one can claim to control his or her destiny. None may allot a stage of their life, whether now or latter, to realize the purpose life may have. In fact, the thought that one controls their time and the destiny in itself denote a sense of ignorance. Entire life can be spent on small pleasures and dwelling on imaginary fear, both the concoctions of mind. So, when is the time to embark on the endeavor? When does one realize that it is not "our" time in minutes and seconds that we spend on Sai, but it is His lease given to us to realize the purpose of our living?
