Everyday Monsters

[Guest guest]

The most important thing a saadhaka (spiritual aspirant) should do is to

acknowledge the limitation nature has imposed on the self. Senses are

double-edged swords; the ones that help realize the self are the same that

takes away from the self. Self-realization at some point probably needs to

encounter this predicament. Senses that hear God's glory, witness His grandeur,

experience His presence are not so blessed when they involve in acts of

self-indulgence, in blatant ignorance of the purpose self may have. Bombarded

by lethargy, anger, lust, passion, and self-gratification even at its slightest

level, human mind is in constant turmoil. This is the root cause even the

greatest of aspirants have fallen to. These everyday monsters pleasing to the

senses at first, lead as a sequel to indolence and self-delusion. Is there a

way out?

Let us see what the simple God of Sikhs and Parsees, Christians and Jains,

Hindus and Muslims, and everyone that believed, said: "What do I do? Maya

(delusion) troubles even the likes of me. What to say about everyone else?"

By consenting to the existence of this innate limitation, the Saint Lord of

Shirdi has in unequivocal terms points out what could be done. A rise is always

followed by a fall. Senses that define a happy state of mind are the same ones

that declare the catastrophe. Logic in its several forms ratifies the cycle of

gaiety and gloom. Allah Maalik! The Master said, "be aware of the delusions,

remember me always, believe truthfully in being the humblest, and realize that

the real Kingship exists in the poverty".

Knowing the existence of monsters must in fact bring one closer to the Master.

Faith and patience, is the rope that should hold one to the pole. A calf

restrained to the cow itself can never be lost.
