The Divine has been called “Bhaavateet
", meaning beyond this world, beyond the emotions, beyond the transient.
If we think for a minute that the Divine symbolizes a set of qualities to be
lived, then the human can also aspire to be the Divine energy; Just as
"guru" has been described as a "tattva” or substance, a guiding
energy which we can elevate ourselves to.
Nothing is beyond us , except what our
constant tendency to doubt makes happen. But of course, it takes a lot of pain
to even start on that path of slowly healing away the illusory layers from our
mind. How many lives are we living in an illusion, thinking there is no one to
beat us in wisdom. What wisdom is this? And how have we acquired it and how
MUCH, to say with so much confidence that we speak from wisdom? It could also
be our ignorance to think we are wise in the first place.
So, how much churning has to happen within
us, so that the pollution is cleared and the truth shines, simple and pure.
Until then, and if we ever reach that state, we can continue with our
illusions.
