I see people trapped in their self images
created by personal wealth, the power that it brings and the sycophants that
gather around. Attractive though completely illusional trappings ! And until
people actually extricate themselves from the “ I am great” illusion, they have
a long way to go in taking the path of spiritual thought.
There is a constant chatter about “ self
made” kings , so much drudgery and challenges before success … and so many
accolades ! But what is important is, what kind of humans do they develop into
? Remembering our roots in another space and knowing the world is transient
should be triggers for enjoying the success as good deeds from other lives
which gives a credit balance to enjoy worldly trappings. But at the end of the
day, they ARE traps if we don’t secure our virtuosity for the future.
Someone steeped in wrong doings goes to the
temple twice a day. When asked why, he laughs and says that he goes to wash off
his sins to sin more. Do we see any merit here ? Or is it just deep ignorance ?
Ultimately, there could be a late realisation of being on the wrong path in
many ways. But a lifetime is wasted. The opportunity has eluded us.
To keep our hearts and minds scrupulously
clean is the only way to go. And then, enjoying the success that is ours, is
commendable ! And god ordained, as everything is.
