Angulimaan, the Saint
Angulimaan, the Saint
This is
a good story. A story of reality, possibilities and hope!
Every
Saint has a past.
Every
sinner has a possibility of a saint!
When
this was told, a student said “and that’s why I don’t prostrate to you and we
both are same!” and the Guru smiled.
But the
fact remains that the Saint is greater than sinner – always. Because in sinner
sainthood is just a possibility – it may or may not happen. But Saint is one
who though has a past has worked through it and become “His highest Possibility”
already. He’s arrived! He can’t go back now.
But
sinner still has to decide, work and then…may be then….
Salutations
to every Guru whose worked on his past and gone beyond the point of no-return –
towards Godliness!
Which
part of the story are you part of? From here, where do you plan to go and how?
Whatever
be the decision, don’t justify where are, how you are with statements as lame
as “I know I am Angulimaan, but where is Buddha in my life?”
“If
only I had Buddha in my life, even I would’ve become Angulimaan – the Saint”
“This
is Kaliyuga with only Angulimaans and no Buddha’s. So the possibility of
Angulimaan the Saint looks bleak!”
Every
adversity carries within it; it’s equal or greater opportunity. World may be
filled with only Angulimaan’s but the question is, are you working on your
Buddha hood or not?
And to
sum up what all did you learn from this inspiring story?
