Dassera
...contd.....
The lowest step or the step
represents the lowest form of existence where people exist or live with the
sole aim of acquiring and relishing food, clothing, shelter and for
procreation. Even animals exist for the same. Even though the person may be a
great achiever – say a business-man, if he exists for this purpose only, he is
considered no better than animals. So, even though he’s given rarest chance of
being born a human, he loses its purpose by living as lower animals. This is
the lowest form of existence. Here, his concern and botheration is only for ‘I,
me, myself’ – selfish to the core!
And because of desire for ‘survival’
other evils make his existence their home like – fear, selfishness, greed,
hatred, evil nature and like.
II Step – if man is able to
outgrow his ‘I-ness’ even a bit, then he starts thinking of giving – giving to
others, society some form of service like poetry, music or spiritual knowledge.
Even a fisherman who lives and does his job as he feels he is feeding others
comes under this category. So, the economic strata of society doesn’t specify
the spiritual growth or state of an individual!
Lord Ganesh kept at every step
represent various challenges that one has to face to outgrow that stage and to
raise to next level.
