Religious Thought 078
Yesterday, I lived bewildered, In illusion. But now I am awake, Flawless and serene, Beyond the world. From my light The body and the world arise. So all things are mine, Or nothing is.
- Ashtavakra Gita

A person getting enlightened is like the moon reflecting in the water. The moon does not get wet, the water is not disturbed. Though it is a great expanse of light, it reflects in a little bit of water; the whole moon and the whole sky reflect even in the dew on the grass; they reflect even in a single drop of water. Enlightenment not disturbing the person is like the moon not piercing the water. A person not obstructing enlightenment is like the dewdrop not obstructing the heavens.

स्कूल के सामने कोई बोम्ब
क्लास में मैडम पढ़ाने के मूड़ में नहीं थी,तो मैडम के दिमाग में एक प्रश्न आया और बच्चों से पूछने लगी।
मैडम: "अगर तुम्हारे स्कूल के सामने कोई बोम्ब रख दे तो तुम क्या करोगे?"
पप्पू: "एक, दो मिनट देखेंगे अगर कोई ले जाता है तो ठीक है, नहीं तो स्टाफरूम में रख देंगे।"

Yet I realized that my only hope of attaining eternal bliss was by detaching myself from all worldly desires, and by honouring God in every aspect of my life. I knew that I had to leave the mansion of deception, and set out with all vigour towards the house of God. I had to turn away from wealth and position, and flee from all the worldly obligations that consumed my time.
