Continuing from previous blogs:
We have observed where the Rishi who gets enlightened through self inquiry with a true inherent desire to meet the Showman. As they experience the Showman; they shares the similar experience to his few selected disciples and thus ‘the Rishi’ becomes ‘the Guru’. Whom have created a way for each and everyone of us (In terms of Personal God) to get us liberated and realize the Showman within ourselves. And then we learnt that people who embark a travel to meet the showman are termed as ‘Brahmacharya’; To get motivated to meet the showman they start to pray the Sun who is more visible and tangible; and then continue their path for the ultimate showman.
Rishis Disciple is now in a confusion mode asking about the inner light dualities among the people and then we left the previous blog post where the disciple ask the Rishi - ” What should i sacrifice more? ”
” I have done a lot of Sacrifice!!! What more should i do Guruji ? ”
And then Rishi/Guru responds in this way:
” What do you think is a Sacrifice? ”
” Is it giving up what u like is a Sacrifice? ”
” Or is it giving up what u desire for is a Sacrifice? ”
” Or is it giving up your responsibilities and needs is a Sacrifice? ”
” Guruji, isn’t it all of them !!!! ”
Guru ji Smiles and then continues ..
” If giving up is a Sacrifice? Can you give up your life for LokaSamgraha if that is what our showman asks for? ”
Shishya gets perplexed and in confusion still asks
” If showman gives us this life; why would he asks us to take away our own life? ”
Guruji continues …
” You said above ones because most of them sacrifice or give up these things for a small time to achieve what they want and then they resume back ”
” Also, Sacrifice is mis-interpreted like giving up another life ( bali ) which is completely erroneous ”
” Now, as you always say, your vision as a Brahmacarya is to realize showman which is usually a larger than your life goal. Isn’t it ? ”
” Ideally, you have to Sacrifice something larger than your life! As Showman has give you this life after all ”
Shishya gets curious and asks Guruji.. ” What is that Guruji..? ”
” Your most awaiting answer is that - You have to Sacrifice that you will realize showman but still pursue the path of Brahmacarya!!! Can you do this? “ { As realizing showman is larger than his life goal }
” Guruji, if this is the case when do i realize him and be in constant touch with him ? ”
Gurji smiles and starts walking towards river and says - ” Sacrifice ; you can realize him everywhere ”
Shishya shouts and asks..
” Then why do we give naivedyam ( नैवेद्यम, నైవేద్యం) to our personal god and do pooja; when Sacrificing is a tool for realizing him?”
