She was cleaning the photographs of all the Guru’s and
there was a smile on her lips that lit her eyes. I always wondered “what is the difference between Her doing
things and us doing?” “Today, I SAW
that. For us, it was just a job that
needs to be done – a mere formality which could be done away even if done
absent – mindedly.
But, she – she looked different as she was dusting those
photographs. It looked as if she wasn’t
doing anything mundane – queer.
Because, it was after all a boring regular mundane routine. What was she thinking or feeling as she was
dusting? Whatever it was she looked as
if she was in a daze – as if she was transported to other world. Is it possible? Is it possible that a mere
act can transport one to a different state of existence?
She looked happy doing the boring cleaning job – I mean it
looked confusing to me. Was she happy
because she was doing it or was she doing it because she was happy or was she
doing it so that she can be happy?
These questions were confusing me when Rama suddenly asked
her “we have so many great Gurus, saints and holymen. Be it Adi Sankaracharya, Jesus, Raman Maharshi et like and yet
why none of their disciples became as great as them? Their Institutions
flourish but not their men. Why?
Because when such cult/ Institutions was founded or gathered momentum it
was due to the person not his teachings or techniques. But the institutions run
for its principles not because of the co-ordinator. Why so?
My guru smiled “However good a imitator is he is not real –
that’s why!” she said.
I waited for her to continue……..
