Life and Ocean

Life is like waves in ocean. As ocean can't be remain still, similarly life will not remain still, if it become still than it is not a life, it will be like a pond or lake and even wind make a waves in pond and lake. So if we say the life of enlightenment person is like pond or lake and only sometime big wind can make a waves in it. It is wrong as, life is ocean, infinite no end, no beginning, even the life on enlightenment person is ocean and there are constant waves in it. But the enlightenment is like a shore, and all the waves finally end at shore and when wave is ending at shore there is so much of joy, so much of sound that I am ending at shore.

But then why Buddha, Mahavira look so calm and controlled after enlightenment, treat this is like, there is vast shore and a one shore near cliff. Both are shore and buddha and all other enlightenment person, along with us ( non-enlightenment beings) are water. if water reached to vast shore and with big force and rush towards the far end of shore and now every wave cann't reach there, that part of the shore will look like a very calm while the part next to ocean will have all the waves keep coming and going.

So Buddha and Mahavira are person who reach to far end and while enlightenment persons are keep touching the enlightenment with every wave and may be on the side of shore where there is a cliff so there is no resting period.

Now where are non-enlightenment beings , they are still in ocean and want to reach to shore. And waves are up and down of the life, but if you reach to shore ,all these wave have finally get vanish and that is what enlightenment is, and there is so much of joy when wave is getting subsidize, it create all the white pure foam, with great sound , that make ocean a distinct personality in a natural world.

Now think of Buddha and Mahavira are far end of shore, see all enlightenment beings are playing like kid and enjoying at edge of shore and ocean and while all non-enlightenment beings are in back deep in ocean , not even aware how much joy is there at shore, they still want to stay in deep ocean as do feel their identity will get lost if they come near to shore, but water remain water whether it stay in ocean or in sand or play at shore.

Materialist world vs Spiritual world

we are corrupted by our religion, faith, and perception about spiritual world. It has become a very dangerous situation in today world. I think we should burn all the books and teaching of all the gurus, or lock them and allow only to those, who are ready to enter the spiritual world.

What is happening in today's world, we read, listen and try to adopt the teaching of these guru's who attain the enlightenment and try to follow a bit and pieces of their teaching in our lives, but these teaching are meant to attain the enlightenment or life style after enlightenment, and when we follow these and still remain or want to remain in materialist world, it create a unknown issues in ourselves and we attribute this our sins in past and constantly living in misery.

As in west people are more attuned for materialist world and partly remain happy ( again I am saying partly, as completeness is possible by spirituality only), while in east people want to adopt the teaching of spirituality and still want to remain in materialist world of selfishness of non-selfishness, greed, lust, money etc. and now living a miserable life, why it is like that? Even they are following the teaching of spiritual world ( where complete happiness is possible). Also it is known fact when a western enter into spiritual world , it is become relatively easy for them to follow.

It is only due to that western mind is more pure ( not in term of holy pure), they didn't live their life with perception of "tapaysa". When they are ready to enter the world of spirituality, they are not looking for earthly pleasure ( because their stomach are full of all these desires), now they are ready for next step in ladder of human evolution.

While is east we are looking for end goal but the step toward that goal is still not been taken ( still deprived of all desires) and wanted complete happiness, always repenting and living in misery, even following the teaching of spiritual guru's. Again they are not following the spiritual teachings fully, only bits and pieces, as to follow completely, one has to give up the materialist desires or I would say fear that if I follow completely, I would not able to enjoy the materialist desires. And it is true once reach to enlightenment the happiness from materialist world is insignificant (it doesn't mean they do not give happiness, they still do give happiness but it is like adult is eating a candy, as candy is very important material for kids, not for adults, but both enjoy, only the scale/measure of enjoyment is changed from kid to adult).

So I would recommend whosoever have these feeling that they are doing the right things as per their teachings and in return they are getting misery, stop following any religious and spiritual teaching and do exact opposite to those, if one stay do fast, you will say I will eat more, if one say do not get angry, make sure you will show your anger, if one says "giving" is way of life, you should start doing "selfish" act, if one says lust and sex is "door to hell" , you will make sure you learn more about those in new ways and see how you can fulfill in safe manner( here I mean to say safe manner, is not get the disease, do it with your partner as often as much as you can do).

By doing all these , you will at least reach to the stage of "partial happiness" and now if you are ready to enter the wold of spirituality, then following the teaching of these spiritual guru's, it will definitely make a difference in your life and you will reach to enlightenment stage. As unless until you follow the steps in ladder, you cannot reach to the top, you have to go through the step of "partial happiness" ( happiness from materialist world desires) and then happiness of "tapaysa" step, finally the step of "enlightenment".
