When the call call of skies come,
When the thirst of being one ,
boundless, from realms of phantasmagoria of world,
When hopes and fears dissolve,
Final grandeur exit begins,
into the entrance of Infinity!
In this world of of technology, which has explored unimaginable realms from nucleus to nebula, where we can fulfill so many dreams, from lifestyle to technology, from mystery and grandeur manifestation on big screen to becoming the master, grappling so many complex tasks be it on playground or in office.
The neurosciences have mastered over the complex human dreaming machines, marketing and making profits in a big ways, so has been with production. Just see, 50 years ago, who could have thought of creating a big multinational firm and making a turnover of over billions effecting life of millions? Today, just a great video on Youtube and you can make it a world wide sensation!!! Such is the times of world!
With tremendous empowerment that has come to humanity, lies its limitation which Mystics of world knew thousands of years ago. Just a few days ago, I was watching IPL match. . . For those who don't know about Indian Premier League, it is worlds most expensive sports league in field of cricketing. It is all about entertainment, hair raising final overs, tie breakers, where players have to score under tremendous pressure at time creating a whole lot of climax.
But unlike others, I watched it with full involvement for about 6-7 hrs constantly, 2 IPL matches back to back. For first 2 hrs, I was like whohooo, for middle 2 hrs, I was like Oh, great, and last 2 hrs, I was like, can I have some sleep? At the end, I was terribly tired of the match, eventhough it was interesting. Doesn't it happen to you. If you go to zoo or a bar, for too long you are tired. When you are under pressure while exams, you get tired and want some change, want to have a vacation, and when you are too long for a vacation, you want some change, get back to work again.
To sum up, if you strech anything more in life, it becomes serious issue. Externality of Life looks like perceiving everything in relative basis or in terms of comparisons. One other way to look at it is that Life is a very shrewd gamer, which tears us apart just when everything seems perfect. It never lets us stay us a one place. Change seems the only thing constant in this world.It places us in desert where we are enthralled by mirage while the thirst never gets satisfied.
Here in this moment of twilight, when we look plainly at contrasts, sprouts the concept of Vairagya. Buddha, was one of thousands of yogi's, some of whom are undercover, like secret societies.
He was exposed to sexuality, pleasures, marvels and the expounded possibilities of externality, he had all oppertuinities at his footsteps, he could master in any field, like Legolas or anything like that, but when he carefully looked at the very essence of externality, he deeply realized the frailty.
Have you heard of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa? If you really want to know heart of India, it lies in life of this great sage. What greater can be denomination of this great saint?! This great master of India once said . . .
"Life is like a mother, who gives you toys to play, leaves you in the playground of world, and when you have played for long, knowing both the aspects of highs and lows, but understanding that you will never be able to retain anything by its very nature. Baffled by this limitation, when you call on to the mother, it brings you back to eternity, tearing you out of your limitations."
He describes 3 forms of Kali or divinity metaphorically as smashan Kali or fierce form which resides near death crematories, shyama kali or the kind and compassionate, rakshya kali or preserver and also describes it as nitya kali-or the absolute form. But a logical mind, fails to comprehend, how such contrasts can be part of the same divinity? Here comes a very beautiful defination of Shiva :
Shi-That, Va- which is not. This states, "that which is not". That which is not identified with anything. Have you observed life of Movie actors and actresses? Even though they are smiling, you can clearly read the emptiness of bieng just identified with one aspect of life, mostly physical or external in most of them.
Vairagya is the doorway from personality to presence. It makes you transcend from being just limited, to unlimited. Personality needs a body, and assumes limitations, but presence is everywhere, even in bathrooms or in filthy slums, even though it may not be conducive environment to feel it. Divinity exists as a presence, even beyond life and death, and all the dreams and palpitations of life.
Vairagya doesn't mean running away from home, becoming sadhu, it means to understand the very process, and thereby creating a space or a gap between you and phenomena. Some religious orthodox people had tried to curtail physical aspect by force, tried to enforce things, but it infact created more physicallity. Infact some such pretenders who senslesly become fearful,wrathful(Dikephobia) had more pornographic minds than anyone else, whereas on the other hand, those wise saints who show both strength and limitation with calmness and give choice or experiencing it harmoniously through a harmonious relationship, tend to bring more sense to a person. (Even though,a few of them had chosen a celibate life out of understanding and not force).
In short I don't want you to be forced by me, I just wish you to observe the events of life going around you with greater sense and depth.
Many Philosophers had tried to run away to forest trying to live like animals, but in turn they couldn't stop longing, because this human, is made in such a way that it can not be settled by anything less than everything.
Some tried having drugs in america,trying to run away, in a way disabling themselves completely, instead of bieng presence everywhere, they were nowhere, so disability is not what Vairagya stands for. It is an enabling process. It is not running away from life, It is dissolving or melting away in eternity. There is a big difference between both. Even though you may be tooo much enamoured by McDonalds, you must know very well that burger will give you great taste, but it won't last forever or if you eat bitter Medicine, it won't last forever. Please don't stop eating Burgers by it :D, but just observe it!. That which can change, always changes, that which never changes, never change and lies as presence beyond the multiplicity.
Life indeed is great enchantress. Please observe the how it can entrap you. In duties or interests of world, you are so spellbound to forget its limitation but when its dual aspects of fear and hope arizes, you feel betrayed again and again. For example, a simple man dream't of becoming buisnessman. Somehow in lautry he became a millioniare, but just when after 4 years, his very dream became his cause of troubles. He became fearful about Loosing everything, which killed him, and the hope of expanding to the next level was also killing him. He felt like an antibreak doubly locked system.
Albert Einstien in life though his research as ultimate possibility, but in the last part of life, he deeply realized that many great things externally can be attained by practice and determination(be it like building burj khalifa or be like Romio, or be like Bill Gates), but still there is still something which is empty or limited, no matter how taller it grows or how smaller it gets, from generation to generation.
Externallity can be grown and/or shrinked by focussing and loosing focus, but this dimention no matter how appealing it looks lies in womb of limitations.
Only way to boundlessness is a whole different aspect(Dimension), Where all lines, all equations are concurrent. It is to burst the bubbles to dissolve into sea.
So next time when you go out in McDonalds or Theatre or Office, you better observe events of life going around you with greater sense and depth. That's what I wish!!! :)
