We all want the same thing at the end of the day. The comment by Group Captain (Retired) Premjit Singh on yesterday's post is an eloquent exposition on the irony of mortality. Unity never leaves human consciousness completely, yet the laity remains vulnerable to the forces of disruption. Technological progress has left social evolution behind. How can we make a turn for the better?
The Guru is an entirely Indian phenomenon. All indigenous rivers of faith that have sprung from this sacred soil point to leadership of eternal individuals. The latter spend significant parts of certain lives to transcend the cycle of life and death. Peace and bliss are hallmarks of Gurus. Everyone cannot aspire to be a Guru, but the state of composure is a secular goal.
Scripture bridges the intellectual gap between philosophy and everyday living. Premjit's comment yesterday shows that we know the truth, but find it difficult to adhere to its tenets. Any person of faith can improve the quality of life by day through recitation and introspection of Scripture. The direct teachings of Gurus reverberate in mortal brains, and guide us to the highest state of peace and bliss.
O Nanak, No Obstacles Block My Way
