The desireless and a loser

Post by empting »

In this current world, everything has a standard. In business is measured by wealth, in religious life is measured by rank acknowledged by religious order.

Here a man who has nothing, not wealth and not even wisdom. Simply a desire to end his suffering. A guru asked the same why he thinks he is suffering? The man answer that he realises even though if he were given a ton of cash, he will still suffer because everything is impermanent, and cash is fast to be used up.

The guru asked the man, so what he is seeking? The man answer, he seeks eternal peace and happiness. The guru asked him to find a wife to be motivated. The man answered that he do not trust anybody outside himself because there is no guarantee that the wife listen to him and there is no reason to be motivated in this world with all the measurements clearly set while the one setting it is blinded themselves.

The man then asked the guru to kill him, so that he can be at peace, the guru then say that this will make him landed in jail. The man offer to sign an agreement to be killed that allows the guru to be free after the deed. The guru is speechless and quietly weep.

The guru said, you didnt trust anyone even a future wife but you trust me to kill you, why is it so?

The man answered that the presence of the guru make him feel calm, and he can see the light in the heart of the guru but is not able to attain that level. He believed that if he were to die in the hand of the guru, he will be rebirth in better world.

The guru went around scolding anyone who he could see, and blame the government for not paying attention to this man resulting him to be lifeless.

The man ends up leaving the guru because he didnt get what he wanted, neither did he attain any level of peace like the guru and he carry on his life desireless.

He begin to be a loser in life in everything he did, people come and steal his belonging, his work, claim credit over his duty. But the man smile to them and forgive them sincerely. The man found someone he love, but the person is a guy. But the man knew that they are impossible to be together and so he leave the guy while crying over his impotency.

Suddenly there is a spark of desire born in this man to find his love one, the gloomy world that once is dark and full with capitalist and monopolist turns out to be the desire of the man in order to cling onto it to be confident to the guy he once left.

But after fighting for his rights, he realise that he cant win the world full with cunning people. And so he sit down and meditate.

In his meditation he realises that the love he thought he found being portrayed to the guy he once left is already inside of him, to begin with they are never separated. The reason for him giving out his life and rights is for him to be met with his inner peace of prolong happiness without things weighing him down. Because by not having anything, you dont have to be responsible over it.

And so the man learnt to be the greatest loser in his life, and the guru is proud of him because the man is united with his own self.
