Of Faith, Imagination and Reality

[Guest guest]

Life is about challenges - facing them with courage ensures glorious

victory. Cowards never get started; idle morons who shamelessly beg

for mercy and expect others to work for them. The weak die along the

way; hypocrites who weasel out hiding behind the veil of

difficulties. A rare few, who either win or die, move ahead with

unabated determination facing the deadliest of storms and reach their

ultimate goal. Sadhanas are meant only for those rare few.

 

For the past few days, I've been repeatedly getting some of strangest

requests for help. One guy wants to become super-genius instantly,

the other wishes to fly like Superman, another one dreams of becoming

unreasonably rich overnight and the next wants me to make a girl

dream about him. Their notion of sadhanas is disappointing to say the

least. The way they talk about their rock solid faith in God and my

Gurudev intrigues me, but I wonder if it will remain solid when

they'll be forced to face the reality. I wonder how they would react

if I told them that my Gurudev trekked the whole Himalayas on foot

and despite being the best, performed gruelling sadhanas for decades

before reaching the highest state.

 

Sadhana is not magic and it can not change anything in a blink of an

eye. Have faith, be imaginative; but first, dare to face the reality.
