A Moment With Parmatma
It's not a big deal if your lifestyle changes, Paramatma is not interested in momentary changes in your lifestyle, change in one's soul is of utmost importance. Did Gautam's lifestyle change or his soul change ? Gautam bowed down to touch Lord Mahavir's feet to change his lifestyle or his soul? To change his saffron attire to white or more importantly, to white wash his soul, to attain salvation!!!
The change is not only about how you live your life on a day-to-day basis, what you eat, what you wear and your actions. It is about introspecting, finding our true self, where the identity and ego dissolve and one achieves oneness with Paramatma.
Indrabhuti Gautam, who believed that he was the greatest sage, the most intelligent and powerful one with thousands of followers, was able to recognize his true self. Just a single moment with Paramatma was enough to create this awareness and oneness with Paramatma.
From now onwards keep pondering... whether I want to change my lifestyle or my soul???
