Our teachers

Remember our middle school teachers. Our high school teachers. When they were busy molding us for a better future. To become a better human being. When they were teaching us don't do this, don't do that, do this, do that, don't lie, live happily together, share your happiness blah blah blah. As if he has followed all of them. After following all of them he became a middle school teacher. I am not against any middle school teacher. As they are victims of their teachers. Their middle school teachers taught them the same nonsense. And they are simple passing down to generations and generations. They programmed us to live in the future which is the very basis of mind. We have been singing same song "Ham honge kaamyaab ek din". But when? When will this song be over. And I tell you - we want to wait for ultimate success but we really don't want to achieve it. Because, once you achieve the ultimate you have nothing to do. So in the waiting it seems there is a journey. But we have been waiting waiting waiting that one day some miracle will happen. Waiting for a better tomorrow. This is what humanity have been doing from day one.

I wanted to meet an ordinary person. Have you met an ordinary person lately. A simple person. I would really love to meet him/her. Now a days everybody has become extraordinary. There is a push to become extraordinary. No one is happy with what he is. Everybody wants to become what he is not. Say I want X amount of cash in my Bank. I work hard and achieve it. Now I want 2X amount of money. I work even more harder and make 2X. Now I again want do double it. Again work or work hard and make it 4X and so on. And then death takes away everything from you. Whatever you are doing is true only when man is immortal.

The world would have been full of gardens, full of cheerful contented people. Existence doesn't need much. It's fully contented. That's the reason I wanted to meet an ordinary person. But you can always see a child. Jesus said - "Thou shalt not go to kingdom of god unless you become like a child." A child has all the qualities of an enlightened being. Observe a child very carefully. A child has no prejudices, you are full of that. Only thing you have is the prejudices borrowed from others and nothing else. That's the very basis of ego. A newly born child is fully enlightened. Can you imagine his/her mind? - utterly empty.
