Identify yourself
The people of the world roughly can
be divided into five categories –
The first category is of those people
who are spending their lives laughing, crying, singing, cursing, fighting and
quarrelling in their happiness and sorrow. They have no desire for more than
sex, food, clothes, nor do they have any desire to come out of their circle of
life.
The second type of category is
somewhat more advanced than the first type, clean, educated or semi-educated.
They are not aware of their sorrows, but due to their pain, ignorant of the
root causes of pain, rubbing their heads at the feet of some god or goddess,
holding their ears, or in the disciplines of Tantra-Mantra-Yantra, the priests
are trapped in the trap of the pundits. Looking for a solution to get rid of
sorrows. They blame God or someone else for their sufferings.
In the third category are those people
who are scholars. Those who have good knowledge of theology. They become
impatient to get down to the scriptures in every matter. Like the above two
classes, this one is also overwhelmed with sorrow. They argue about the nature
of the mind, but the mind is not under their control. They talk about
meditation but do not experience even a single moment of meditation. Samskaras
make them do whatever they know to be sin or an unforgivable action. Looks
idealistic from above but is devoid of sensitivity. This is the class of shrut
gyanis.
People of the fourth category are
more advanced than the above three. He is artistic in life, creative and
sensitivity is his main quality. They have come to know the basic nature and
source of sorrow. That's why these rituals are engaged in destroying the seed
itself. This category is the category of meditators, self-analysts who think
and meditate. He is either alert every moment or is engaged in the practice of
awareness. He has imbibed the learned knowledge in his life towards his
thoughts and behaviour. Such knowledge is called Buddha-conscious wisdom.
The fifth category is of those
special great men and sages who have freed themselves from the cycle of life,
and are constantly aware and committed to the upliftment of human beings. He is
the supreme hero, our protector and guide.
Even the fifth class superheroes
reached the place where we are standing by following the same path. We also
have to follow these paths to reach where they are standing today. He has
crossed the same obstacles of the mind, which today stand as an unshakable rock
in our path. It is difficult to cross the road but not impossible.
So let's open the door of the mind
which has been closed for centuries and enter inside and see what experiences
or sanskars we have accumulated there from previous births till date. Opening
the door of the mind, going inside, inspecting the stored things, sorting
useful-unusable, true-false, efficient-inefficient, necessary-unnecessary,
throwing the useless out of the store-this is meditation. Know yourself from
today.
That's all for today
