Me, My Guru – on
validity and existence of pain of a Master
“What bothers or pains
you Guruji?”
“It is hard to obtain
human birth, harder to live like a human being, harder still to understand the
‘Dharma’ and yet the entire life is exhausted in living in unrighteous way and
chasing things which are ephemeral!” replied our Guruji looking into the
distance.
This was the pain Jesus
suffered when he saw people fall in character all around him. This was the pain
Adi Shankaracharya experienced when he saw Vedic philosophy degrade to a level
of superstitious rituals and wrong ways of living. This was the pain Buddha
felt when he saw people suffering on the cause which didn’t exist. This was the
pain of Swami Vivekananda which drove him to be workaholic creating
‘Ramakrishna Mutt’ and spreading the Vedic philosophy and its essence to the
general public at large.
‘Being detached’ or
being ‘sanyasi’ doesn’t mean go away from the world. But understand the
difference between right form of work and chasing right kind of things of the
world. There is suffering always – only one suffering is real and the other
imaginary. The imaginary can be done away with developing clarity of thought
and being in sadhan. To choose to work towards ‘other kind of pain’ – that of
being unable to see fellow humans and creatures suffer is optional!"
We were silenced by her answer!
