The book of Mirdad

This is a classical spiritual literature. This is the book. I am extremely selective in reading books. So, selective that I almost don't read any book. I would have read the least number of books as compared to others, in general. Because I believe in bad books. All books are not good as it appears. And ever I cared is only about the truth which books do not contain. Books contain information about the truth, not the truth. When you r hungry, food is the only way. I love books lying on the shelf rather than reading them. And it so happened when other day I picked "the book of mirdad". After a long time I started reading a classical spiritual text. The book really has something in it. Although millions have tried to measure the depth of ocean but very few have succeeded in true sense. Mirdad is one of them. A rare piece. It was like Ashtavakra Geeta. Do give it a shot. It will be more insightful than tonnes of bestsellers. It may not make you more knowledgeable about certain subject matter, but it will open a new dimension of life in you (provided you are open, a closed pot cannot be filled). And that's what your holy teachers have done to you unknowingly. When Jesus says, "god forgive them coz they don't know what they r doing" - is of tremendous value. Your teacher, your politician, your parents didn't know what they were doing to you. And you will repeat the same nonsense to your kids in a little different manner subjected to the society. If u look at the humanity, it is doing same nonsense starting from day 1. Man has not changed at all. Means have changed, environment is changed, time has changed. But man is utterly same. Doing, but no idea of doings. Just following a race. Since everybody else is racing so I am racing. And that everybody thinks. Everybody is fooling everybody else.

This world would have been full of natural gardens, full of contented and cheerful people living in their totality. Buddhas would have been your neighbours. Unless each and every person on the earth will become lile Buddha the problems of this world will not be solved no matter what you do. This is my word I say onto you that Buddha knew it. We need 1000 Buddhas operating at a time and the fate of human race can be changed forever.
