At one point of time I just realized that there
are no paths we choose in life and there are no paths that choose us, there is
no destiny, there is nothing of that sort. And the scary truth is that there is
only ONE PATH. And it’s not for us to decide what to follow and not to follow,
it’s either we are on that path or we are not. And if we are not than we will
keep reincarnating and coming to this world for the same reason. All religions of the world and all
great philosophers and gurus all of them talk about and describe the same thing
and the same PATH OF LIFE. And it doesn’t really matter if you are spiritual
person or not, if you believe in Krishna, Buddha or Jesus or even if you are
atheist. It doesn’t matter what you believe in but the moment you break the rules
of nature (or rules of universe) you immediately pay for it. You may call it
karma or destiny or whatever you wish to call it but this world has rules and
if you don’t obey them than you pay for it. And no matter what you think or
feel but you have to accept the rules and walk the right path because it is
only one right path.
It doesn’t matter if you are religious or not,
rules of universe never change and everything in this world work according the
system, according the matrix if I can say.
Let me give you simple example. For example a
person wants to loose weight. There is only one way how you can do it: eat
less. You will loose weight only if you receive less calories than you burn.
You can follow blood type diet, eat only proteins or exercise 24-7 in gym but
you will loose weight only if amount of calories you burn is higher than the
amount of calories you eat. It’s simple. You can use many different ways but
the truth remains simple and universal. That’s the rule of this world (or this
system). We are not in power to change it but we have the power to choose which
of these options to choose.
You may be Hindu, Buddhist, Christian or even
atheist but the rule of the system works same way on anyone. You might wonder
what rule I am talking about? And the rule is simple: whenever you do something
wrong to the system, system punishes you. Or if you want me to say it more beautifully
than I can say the world punishes you or karma.
Next question is…what is the right path and the
meaning of the right path? The answer is simple: it’s the path of suppression
of the ego. A way when you cease to despise and hate enemies and you find their
forces to grow fond, a way when you look at the world not as on the enemy and
as on the best friend … It’s like when everything you do is right and selfless.
Imagine it’s the last day of you life, what would you do and how would you
behave? See…J
Exactly. So when everything you do you are able to compare to that feeling and
it’s the same than you know you are on the right path. When you realize this
than you move forward very fast and than you feel what is the true meaning of
life….to be selfless and to do to others what you would wish for yourself. Whatever
you send to this world you get back. It’s the system, matrix I can say. It’s
like a balloon, so whenever we are sending away it is coming back to us and
it’s the law of whole universe. We have to do the right things and be selfless
otherwise we will be wrong elements in the system and we are out of this path.
There are no other ways. This path is tough and not easy and sometimes you
might cry and get depressed and wonder why I am living like this and moving
forward when maybe it’s much more easier to live like most of people do and be
selfish, materialistic and care only about personal benefits? Light exists only
at the end of the right path and if you don’t follow it than you are out. There
is simply no other way. There is just no other choice. (It’s same like with
loosing weight, till the moment you burn more calories than you receive it will
never happen).
You know if for example all great philosophers,
gurus and prophets met they would have nothing to argue about as people who
obtained the TRUTH of the world just see it in everything and they knew that
it’s not about God or anybody above, it’s all about doing and feeling the right
things.
You might be disappointed if I tell you there is
no God who is responsible for your actions. And if you do something bad you
can’t go to temple and pray for forgiveness and than expect something good
happen to you. System doesn’t take “bribes”. Of cause it’s more easy to believe
that there is someone up there whom you can held responsible for everything you
didn’t do and all your faults you can excuse with destiny. And of cause it’s
more easy to believe that you can be an asshole towards other people but than
simple visit to temple will take your sins away. It’s just more convenient for
people to believe in. You have to be strong enough to take full
responsibilities for all your actions and not every person is strong enough to
be on the right path, that’s why probably there are not so many gurus or “Gods”
in history.
So what’s the main thing and the purpose of
life?
Is it a career? Money? Love? Children? Self
realization? No it’s not. It’s easy to achieve, to get, to accomplish but it
takes a very serious courage to love others more than you love yourself. To
love this world and to give you best to it. It really takes a courage to put
your material interests behind and to think about people who are less
fortunate, to think about what have you done for this world to be better? For
people? Suppress you ego and just love people, that’s it. Sounds easy? Might be
but how many people like that you actually know?
When you are giving more than you are expecting
to get….this is what is the right path. When you are giving love and when you
care. When you are doing the right things like it’s the last day of your life.
This is only one way to feel divine light.
I always wonder how many people come to temple
or church and they ask, ask and ask. And everything they do is asking. It’s so
easy to believe that you just go and ask without taking any responsibilities
for your own actions. But what have you done to this world or people around
you? You always get what you deserve, always. This is the law of universe. You
can ask one million times, you can pray, you can do many different things but
it’s not how Universe works.
We come to this world for a reason: to become
better human beings than we used to be and we will be keep coming here till the
time we realize the universal truth and till we keep our ego aside.
It takes courage as I said before but it’s why
we are here. You have to be strong enough to keep going and keep moving forward
towards the right direction (even after all tough experiences that comes on the
way). And it’s not going to be easy. It’s a very difficult and rough path but
it’s the only one that has divine light….
Love to all
