26/Meditation and Enlightenment : Chandr Prabh
power 'Soul' or 'Super Soul', the feeling of identification with that is the achievement of a Bachelor's degree in meditation. This very power is the originality of existence. Its credentials are unnecessary. Why should there be the frenzy of victory if it is achieved through meditation ? Why to fret for defeat even if it does not vibrate in the strings of the heart ? Does not matter if the money is not in the palm, it is after-all in the purse. After all that is the personality of singularity versus totality.
A person had lost his watch. So he began to search it. Even the neighbours came to assist him. He searched all along the street but not even the shadow of the watch was found out. While searching, a neighbour asked. "Where was the watch lost ?" He replied --"Inside the house."
The neighbour was astonished. He said - "How stupid ! You are searching the watch lost in the house, in the street ?" The man said-"You are talking sense, but there is darkness inside the house. But light is flowing in the street."
The thing lost in the house has to be searched in the house, whether there is darkness or light in the house. Being dejected with the darkness of tension maintained inside if you cast your glance elsewhere, then it is not the quest of truth, but it is just seeking the limit of the sky in the horizons-a mere wandering.
If the person, walking round the clock, does not know where is he going; what is his goal; to what extent is he dedicated to achieve that goal, the life comes to an end like this in the journey from morning to evening. He digs a deep ditch with the axe of labour, but he fills it up with his own ashes. What comes to his hand is only earth, not a galaxy of jewels. Man himself is the formula of the vastness of consciousness. He should celebrate within himself the festival of joy after co-ordinating bis dynamic consciousness. Instead of allowing his celebration to acquire the colours of a gala-festival, he has brought himself on the brink of swamp. With this, his frustration, instead of decreasing, has increased a hundred fold.
