World we seek is Inside

The path to Self is sacred. A sensual person can acquire immense wealth, power and pelf, but not Self-realization. Ephemeral and transient world is outside, whereas the world of Self is inside. There is no doubt, in conquering the worldly heights; the same tool is used as it is used in the attainment of the Self. This quality of ‘intellect’ serves dual purpose. The power of its use lies in the hands of the user. The contrasting influences of their goals are so dissimilar in nature that their starting points are worlds apart. Not that their reverse journey is irreversible. Their foundation being same, any adventurous soul can degenerate or elevate to the other end. The barrier of ‘divide’ between them is so fragile that their common meeting ground is not a non-possibility!

The problem has further been worsened by the jet-set, five-star cultured pseudo-masters, whose behavior is culpable. They deserve severest punishment for lowering and debasing the divine essence of human existence. For cheap popularity and promoting their self glorification, they are misleading, both, the laymen and the elites alike. Both the classes are mentally sick. The poor need panacea from miseries and the pot-bellies need peace-of-mind---not peace. The antidote of miseries and mental imbalance, which they supposedly seek are, in fact the very anti-thesis of the ‘nomenclatures’ of their definition of pleasure and joy they drive from their trades. Crash courses in TM, Zen, Yog and so many other Darshans (philosophies) and Kiryas (sub-systems)---with their many deformations and what not---are conspicuously advertised and held in five-star hotels. How these sacred names have been defiled; from the way these are shamelessly demonstrated in imprudent ways, in the most inauspicious environs? Just imagine religious rituals being held in a brothel! Some of these highly respected gentlemen, who were renowned theologians and commentators on these disciplines, were/are in fact poles apart from the real import of these ‘subjects’.
