I recently went
to a museum where several people came to visit. Amongst them were many children, children
of the age of 4 and 5 years old. Adults were all
listening to the guide and reading the writings on the plates. They appeared to be trying
to appreciate the art and beauty of the paintings.
They all looked interested. Watching the young ones was fun
for me. They were running around.
Sometimes just picking up pebbles and putting them back. At
times they will go over the benches and other time under the benches.
Energy was flowing out of them. There were no plans, no
blue prints. They did not question whether there was value for money or whether or not the
trip was enjoyable.
They did not bother about the weather forecast or how they
will be going back. If you analyze their karma, there is nothing to analyze.
They are children. But there is much to learn.
We are children for the existence. We stand on a piece of
land and claim it is ours. We are willing to die for it.
The existence looks at us and laughs. If it could talk in
our language, it would say to us, "Many others have made the same claim many times
before."
This realization by an individual is what makes the
possibility of karma sanyas, the individual decides not to engage in the same karmas again. |
