Your journey towards to God can never be straight



Worldly life is inevitable to any soul in this world and leaving the worldly life is biggest hypocrisy!


The Gita says that generally several life-cycles are required to reach the ultimate goal



Your mind or the mind of any human being can’t travel straight in the spiritual path. It will always divert to that side and this side every time. Hence, your journey towards to God can never be straight like the mind of the saint leaving the worldly life and sitting alone in a forest in the concentration on God. Such path is just an idea only and not at all practical. Even in such state, the body needs food and other activities of life are inevitable.


One saint was having just two small cloths so that he wears both on alternative days. Daily one cloth washed is put on the branch of a tree for drying. A rat was attacking the cloth. To control the rat he brought a cat. For cat, daily milk is to be given and hence a buffalo was purchased. The buffalo needs servant. The servant needs food for which he married and got children. A visitor saw the saint alone 10 yrs back. The same visitor went there after 10 yrs. and found him as house-holder with lot of establishment. The visitor asked the saint about that entire establishment. The saint showed the wet cloth hanging on the branch and told him that whole establishment was to protect that cloth (Kaupina samrakshanaartham ayam patatopah)!


This means that worldly life is inevitable to any soul in this world and leaving the worldly life is biggest hypocrisy! Hence, the mind is constantly diverted to both sides while travelling forward towards God. This is represented by a serpent travelling in curves in the straight path. The curves of the serpent also stand for the propagation of energy in the form of waves. Energy always travels as waves and mind is only the nervous energy. Hence, you have to develop the spiritual path with reference to the constantly associated worldly life dragging to both sides. Hence, straight path and short time for the straight journey is impossible. The Gita says that generally several life-cycles are required to reach the ultimate goal (bahunaam janmanaam…).
