| We used the
word Darshan which is often translated as philosophy. But, Darshan has a totally different
meaning. Darshan is face to face. Darshan is realization. That is why many of our scriptures have statements by the people who had Darshan. Vivekananda wanted to know about God. He is passionate. He goes to Ramkrishna and asks him, "where is He." RamKrishna laughs and then touches Vivekananda with his feet. Vivekananda goes in to a trans. He had the realization that could not have been expressed in words (the darshan). There was no debate and it was not necessary. Budha was in the audience of over 10 thousand people. Budha never spoke a single word about Truth. If some one asked him the question what is truth he would keep quiet. This day he just sat silently. A flower in his hand. It was a lotus flower. He was just looking at the flower as if the ten thousand people did not exist. Moments passed and then hours started passing and people started becoming uneasy. Then suddenly, one disciple-Mahakashyap - amongst the gathering of ten thousand - started to laugh for no reason. Budha called him and handed over the lotus flower. He said to the audience, "What I could say to you in words, I have said to you. What I could not say in words, I am giving to Mahakashyap." |
