My mind is really preventing from writing all this.....somehow it is a broken out situation....anyhow here comes the content.....please bear me :-)
Last few days have really been painful at the office....i shall not mention the reason out here...just feeling the pain of past few days.....Was at the Ashtavakra Geeta session at one of the Art Of Living devotee's house........Was just observing how the mind tries to prevent me from speaking the lines which may create pain....So in a way you happen to suppress yourself which i don't want to do at all.....Discussion was being carried out on Guruji's saying that If you happen to meet a person who is pity high in terms of his/her position in society, you should always be humble but never feel low....but I was thinking that is it possible..?........For Guruji, it really has been learning from the basics and also gaining in terms of strength......was just thinking that given the kind of situation in society atleast in Punjab to which i belong or that may be true for north india....People have very high categorisation in terms of profession one is in.......So, a sweeper is really seen as a low class person and he hardly gets any respect in society.....in this kind of situation, can you really think of not feeling low where a part of society really cuts out with you.....and many other professions too have been classified as low class profession such as singers, .....low class works......Don't know how can one not feel being low.......
khair yeh sab baatein main kyun likh raha hoon....?.......woh shaayad is liye kyunki shaaad main bhi aise kisi ek profession se judna chahta hoon....
abhi isshare chal rahe hain......khulapan baaki hai.....kisi din daal doonga.....:)
Peace,
rahul.

I think the answer lies within us to "how one doesnt feel low...". If we really think that every person doing his duty to the highest degree possible is great and we hold on to this belief, if our actions are according to this belief, then eventually we stop feeling low while doing anything which is actually for a constructive purpose (be it sweeping or anything). If we act according to what I said above, then I believe that we start seeing some people who also believe the same and thus we gather strength. This process is slow because such people are really lesser in number. So the only thing needed is courage and courage and courage and ... to act according to what one considers to be true even when one is alone. And courage comes from acting in that direction. So it is a cumulative process. First we gather some courage and take a step. Then courage comes from that particular step and thus it increases and we tread on to path of freedom.
ReplyDeleteI am sometimes reminded of a very precise phrase from someone "Analysis Paralysis". When i heard it first, it kept buzzing in my ears for long. The centipede could never dance again once the jealous ant asked him to explain as how it danced with 100 legs when the ant could not manage just with 2. :)
ReplyDeleteThe nature is consistently in dance - in communion with highest order and casting light as well as shadow around. Don't be distracted by the appearances - it will all be gone in the end. So Enjoy your life and don't be low. 3 cheers to Rahul .. Rahul... Rahul :)
