Angulimaan, the Saint
Yes,
Angulimaan’s over the years with increased sadhan, single minded concentration
and meditation techniques facing all the hardships as the way to repent and
without remorse or resentment on the people who meted it attained
“Enlightenment” eventually! He became great healer and thousands of people over
time started flocking around him to get healed. Just visualize the graph of his
growth. He was Devil Incarnate as a high way murderer and from there he goes on
to become one of the greatest healers and an Enlightened Masters as per
Buddhist Sutras. People who rebuked him, insulted and stoned him fell at his
feet at a later day in dozens and scores to seek his blessings, healings and
knowledge.
What
better way to come around than this? Yes, the path is tough, long, lonely and
painful. But, just look at the fruits and benefits at the end of it. But
remember, if you are in sadhan so that the people who have resentment for or who
have hurt you will come and fall at your feet, then my dear, you are not going
to reach that station of your expectations at all. This is the major reason why
people choose spirituality, to feel respected and having people fall at their
feet. Sorry, this doesn’t work. No doubt, there are less people with right
knowledge and right spiritual experience to fall back on and to function as
right Guru.
Is
there an easier path? Certainly so! One filled with hatred, revenge and killing
or hurting the person who demeans us, hurts us or insults us. But is there
growth for us or are we walking towards our downfall? Choice is yours. You are
smart and intelligent enough to make ‘right choice’ for yourself. After all,
you are answerable to none and you are the one facing consequences of your
every choice!
