Day 37. Review - 6

 These blogs would have given some insights on the human journey so far and the trend around.

All are keen to prove and settle issues once for all everywhere. In the process the precious life time is passed and one also passes away in due course. That is how the world moved till date. But did any one  learn anything  from the past? That is another question altogether.

Once Ramakrishna Paramahamsa went to a mango orchard with some persons. As soon as they reached the place, some started arguing about the types of mango trees, qualities of mangoes etc. in great detail. For this, the Paramahamsa stated- why don’t you people enjoy the sweet mangoes available rather than counting the trees and leaves?

Ditto with the human beings.

How may Gods’ are there? Where do they reside?

Which God is the most powerful?

Who created the world?

Who has seen that creation to testify?

Can one God be the creator of all?

With what he created? Is it all done by one God?

Where did he study the art of creation?

Which religion teaches the best? … let me stop, as the questions galore.

I saw a video in which an IIM student was seen asking a spiritual Guru, whether Ramayana is a fact or Fiction? Genuine question.

 But who can give an authentic answer now?… and what will be the validity of that answer? … Will the young mind be satisfied with the answer. any answer…who ever gives the answer?

But will such students be able to recall the great teachings of Ramayan.... 

What is its message for the country?

 How it survived for thousands of years? …

 Instead of  knowing the rich  wisdom  contained in such texts… we ask the question

·        Who built Ram Sethu and

·        What engineering background they possessed?

·        Whether Lord Krishna had 16008 wives?

·         If so, how he managed them?

All are very genuine and earth  shaking questions. If the concerned speaker is not able to give answers, acceptable to the questioner then all these are  all myth, fiction, imagination. Period.

This is where the earlier cited statement of the Parmahamsa is to the followed in letter and spirit.

Gita states, one who is perennially doubtful perishes. Indecision will make one useless in any field…. more so in the spiritual field.

So, it is time to start from the basics, again!

Worth reflecting.

Be Happy. Be safe.
