Me, My Guru – On purpose of life!
Gandhi fought for ‘Indians’ in SA and later ‘Ahimsa’ became tool in his ‘purpose of life’ – freedom for India” saying so our Guru became silent.
“My purpose of life is
to raise my kid to be a rich and successful person” said one.
“My purpose is to get
married and lead a happy married life” said other.
“My purpose is to give
a house to my family and provide them with all material comforts” said another.
Most of our purposes
were on this line only.
“Your purpose of life
decides your destiny. Your intent decides the outcome. See ‘POL’ as the train
that takes you to the destination of your life” said our Guru.
“Is that going to work
out bad for us?” I asked a bit frightened and tensed. My POL lay in the ‘common
area’ of most of the people.
“Shakuni’s POL was to
seek power and material success for his sister and her sons. You know that
brought down their entire clan.
Shakuni’s love for his
sister was very strong and yet because his intent was based on anger, hatred
and vengeance the result became painful and suffering became the gift he gave
to his ‘dear sister’. His means were based on ‘adharma’ and the result is
always ‘destruction and pain’ for such a choice.
End will never justify
the ‘means’. Means decides the quality of journey and the results of the life
and its fruits.
POL of Dhritarashtra
was to make his son King and you know the result.
POL of Karna was to
stand by his friend, Duryodhan and what happened? Inspite of being warrior par
excellence, man who would give anything and everything in charity, being
mind-born son of Sun God, he died a pathetic death. His life was no good
either. He didn’t get peace inspite of becoming successful by means of becoming
‘King of Angh’. Why? All because he stood by a wrong person – Duryodhan!
