Page 69 - Ecstasy and Agony in the Journey to Infinity
P. 69

During the period of Ramayana, people have gone to Janaka for knowledge. Saints’ children were sent for training. Saints themselves went to him for clarifications. A very great person. He is very high and Babuji says so, Janaka’s condition is such.
Other examples of disinterestedness are Emperor Nero and Aurangzeb. They used to practice vairagya and disinterestedness. Aurangzeb in particular was always detached in life. Every one of us is a complex bundle of several qualities
Kumbhakarna is another good example. He did not want anything, whatever his elder brother told, he did. Else, he used to keep quiet. Just as the song playing on the road does not have any influence on us where we are least bothered about it. That is due to certain amount of viveka that we have got. Suppose we are like this in performing essential duties, we will not be able to perform. So, the person works when he is reminded of his duty. That is how Kumbhakarna was. That is the attitude that we should have and at the same time work as a command of the Divine.
