Sairam. Suprabhat. 🙏😌🌺

The mind craves for complexity. Wants to be in it's company. And shoos away simplicity. That's how thousands thronged the public meetings of the famous philosopher J.Krishnamoorthy those days, though most of them couldn't understand his hig funda complex philosophy. Being seen in the company of JK was almost a status symbol. Craving for complexity even if it does not help us grow internally. There are many steps before we reach the top.
Love simplicity. And begin the search of truth. Don't start with Nirvikalpa Samadhi and lose your normal sleep on it. Eat well. Sleep well. And in simple terms search Truth. Vote for simplicity. The epic stories are full of simple folks getting extra ordinary blessings. A young lad attending to his aged Parents refused to respond to Lord Himself and threw a brick. On which the visiting Lord gladly stood as Vittal. Still standing. We need to capture that simplicity emanating from the very essence of our being. No dikawat. Truth in its basic form is simple. If manipulated to look great, it becomes the Chinese version. May look great. No guarantee.
Don't start with Moksha. No heaven is waiting up there to reward you. Most terrorist outfits raise their suicide squads only on the 'Heaven Promise'. And the simpletons die to go there. Literally 'die' that is. After killing innocents in the bargain. So much for heaven. If we turn simple and truthful, where ever we live will become heavenly. Aur kya chahiye.
Don't trade simple life for complex heavens. Life is beautiful. Full of fun n joy if lived simply. Think of your young days when you jumped looking at the baloonwala blowing shapy baloons looking like monkeys. With tail attached. Where is that joy. Now to get that intensity of joy we want Share market to hit the roof and at least our holdings to to beat the index. Same unrealistic paagalpan in all areas of life.
Another bouncer is 'Enlightenment' . Many would have sat under the same Bodhi tree before Buddha. But only Buddha was 'enlightened'. It's a chain of processes he went thru internally before it ended up under the tree. Dont focus on the tree. But the process.
Before 'Enlightenment' junction arrives in our long journey, many stations in between, we need to pass thru. Enlightenment is at the end. Read 'Ten Zen bulls' story by googling. It's amazing. It shows how even after enlightenment one has to return to market place. The tenth bull shows it. That's how all enlightened masters were simple , accessible and lived among the janta. Like Kanchi Paramacharya.
We need to remain 'simple', shedding the urge to be in company of complexity. No need to try n become a Sodoku to be solved by others.
Simplicity begets 'Clarity'. In everything we do. Clear mindedness is a prerequisite for all accomplishments. There is never a confused 'accomplisher' celebrated by the society. Not even in sports n games.
Next comes 'Maturity'. Need to go into it a bit deeper. Have you noticed that
most of the damages in life are caused more by immaturity than by ignorance. In ignorance there is a possibility of fear. And with it comes caution. Measured steps etc. The grandma refuses to touch the switch board saying 'Agar shock laga tho'..? Ignorance. Cool. But an immature youngster feigns intelligence, touches a naked wire n gets shock.
Immaturity sees no danger where it is and blindly gets hurt. Many lives ruined coz of immature decisions. Adolescents do a demo of it everyday at our homes.
Behind all the failed projects, there are moments of immature decisions that turned it turtle.
People get senti and succumb. Immature decisions without weighing pros n cons. From individuals to corporates Immaturity victims are many.
Ignorance is somewhat acceptable. Immaturity is not. As, all are ignorant in different degrees all thru life.
Immaturity feigns intelligence. And lands one in trouble. Why look outside. Go back in your own life. Painful incidents triggered by immature decisions. Plenty. Wisdom arrived late.
For antidote to immaturity, certain calmness is required inside. With some bit of tolerance . शांतचित्तता with सहनशीलता. Then wisdom flowers naturally.
It needs certain Prep of the mind.
Where to begin. Did you ask.
Yes. You guessed it right.
Pray. Chant. Meditate
Let the turbulent mind settle down slowly. Till it finds Serenity. In that state, mind will sit n think before triggering every action.
That's sign of the arrival of Wisdom.
It's verily the Process Maturity.
In the Lockdown now, acquire that Wisdom. And blissfully transform your life. That's verily Moksha, heaven et al rolled into one.
Sairam 😊🙏🌺
