Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
4. Sri. N.V.Raghava Rao
The result we should aim at, are the flowers. Here I understand this as the Goal – the flowers which are the lightest.
A person who has goal clarity and is restless to get there faster, will run faster and faster. In the process he would have to undergo some troubles and he could get tired too but he wouldn’t notice it too much because he is desperate to reach the destination. A person, who has to go a long way, will not have too much time to spend on thinking about the small troubles, which are more like digressions on the path. As we progress, we realize that he have a lot more distance to cover and we have lesser and lesser time to think about other things. Also everything else becomes secondary and we don’t attach any significance to them. We know that the goal we have set for ourselves is a very big one and we want to reach it as fast as we can AND we also do not know how much time we have at hand. Such is the transience of Life itself and we can’t afford to be complacent. This is the Viveka we develop. Due to this, we prioritise our activities and give the highest priority to Sadhana so much so that the other things seem to loose their significance over a period of time. Things will come to such a pass that it doesn’t matter if the other things happen in one way or the other and later perhaps a stage would come when we may not bother too much if things happen at all or not.
When this goal becomes the top priority and is the biggest problem in Life, the suffering (restlessness) it causes itself is so much that in comparison to this, all other sufferings pale into insignificance. A person who is practicing this system with all seriousness and regularity will surely feel that he is traveling in the right direction and at tremendous pace. This gives the person the motivation to continue.
