Miracle Of The Good Fortune
One evening the feet of a saint became standstill in front of the royal palace. The watchman of the palace expresses his gratefulness to receive him with honour and due devotion and arranging proper place for his graceful staying, taking it his duty, requests him, “
O worshipful Lord! You are coming from very far place, please give us auspicious chance to serve you so that we may wash off our bonded ‘Karma‘ from births after births taking advantage of your good proximity.” The saint replied in an easy manners like a child, “All right. I will take rest in the night in that rest-house meant for travellers and pilgrims.”
Ail became wonder struck that what will happen now. It is the personal palace of the king, how can we cause him to stay in it? And the saint is also insulting the royal palace by saying it a public rest- house. Suddenly a mild sound came breaking the dead silence, ‘O Saint it is not the public rest-house, it is the personal palace of the king”.
But the saint is firm on his words that I will take rest in the night in this very public rest-house and the watchman is also firm on his word.
At that very time, the king came out from his palace hearing the noise and seeing the miracle of his fortune bowed down for adoring the feet of the saint and according him suitable welcome and receiving with due honour with extreme joy and requesting him for taking rest, took him in his palace.
O king! This public rest-house is very beautiful, I will take night rest here.” Maharaj’ it is the personal palace caused constructed by my benevolent wise ancestors. You please stay here. All arrangement of your happy stay will be done. Nothing will be more fortunate than welcoming you in the palace but kindly don’t tell it a public rest-house.
Instantly, the saint tells, “tell in what room your ancestors, the founder of the palace are? I will ask them.” “Maharaj, all those are no longer alive now, i.e. passed the other universe leaving this ephemeral body-palace”, replied the king. Then Ü king! you yourself search the
solution by the strength of your prudence that the founder of the palace passed then whether the one living at present would not go? When all will go, then it may well be that this place may remain long lasting, but the men coming and going are, precisely travellers and this place is a public-resting-place”.
“O conscious Lord! The main cause of the journey of the world is the concentration in alien belongings due to which got connexion of body, senses, mind and sensual enjoyments. This conscious soul forgetting itself in this very coincidental connexon, is taking pleasure in it.
It is, precisely the fruit of our this very mistake that the birth-death is going on uninterrupted and we are astrying in new-new halting places changing body again and again and regarding the world-body as permanent, feeling happiness in getting the house constructed w ith the desire of stability.”
“O conscious soul! See a little opening your eyes when the founder is going on the onward journey, accepting transmigratory motion of the j soul for assuming a new body then this palace, our relation with other matters/ things ,etc„ are signalling that there is only astrying in lie darkness.
The separation is a must of the connexion. There is a lot of belongings but whether the condition of the distressed by separation remains other than like the death of the floundering-fly ensnared in the spider’s web?”
“O conscious being! You are just knower & seer. That which is i being seen neither you are that nor that is yours. You only know and see with the feeling of merely a spectator. Don’t involve in attachment- aversion and don’t think it good or bad as this kind of contrary feeling, is precisely the bondage of body, birth and world, w hich ensure further rebirth.”
“Oh conscious being! Open your eyes of prudence. Consider matter substances, inert and inanimate matters which come in your view as different from you. Don’t pull the prolonging rope of attachment- aversion. This is the climax stage of ignorance due to which i me has to
wander in the infinite ocean of tiie world.”
The king understood the reality from the indication/ hint of the saint, as a result dedicated himself on the feet of the Guru, for experiencing the divinity by the right perception. O living being king! You ate having treasure of infinite virtues, accept that by your heart and get accurate/ right state changing the direction of the life.
Only the volitional/psychical scriptural knowledge is important, that very is the source of the soul-form. The food is not prepared in the absence of spoon but afterwards the taste will not come from the spoon, it well come from the tongue and in case the How of consciousness is caught somewhere by any external matter, then the tongue will not get taste.
The implied meaning is grasped only with the positive form of flow of consciousness, merely material scriptural knowledge w ill be of no advantage. For soul’s purity, the purpose should also be pure.
