We are still 'stuck' to calling them
so.... the display on it is perhaps Kilometers .....
On a spiritual path, acknowledging
one's own milestones is of tremendous significance! The very progress
to a next level, sometimes depends quite heavily on the very depth of
the level at which this 'process' of acknowledging happens!!
Obviously, the cohesive functioning at the present level is more
precarious, and the very same 'acknowledging' level decides it....
there is a slight difference.... the side effects of stagnation
gives a reasonably early warning to the person concerned... and
usually it goes unheeded... the manifestation becomes pronounced and
is grossly noticeable by yet others, when it is a bit late to rectify
'that-easily'!
To illustrate this, I wish to try with
a typical example, trying to draw our attention towards the subtle
difference between delegation of powers and divesting of powers...
(it is up to us to seek that 'dramatised' practical examples from day
to day life, and seek data, and then draw inferences....)
On a spiritual path, somebody finds
that what ever he thinks seems to 'happen' a few more number of
times, the number is sufficient to prevent disregarding it casually
as a 'coincidence' etc.... Now if this is true.... please see what
a refusal to 'acknowledge the milestones' can do... the thought
process goes on unbridled.... the actualisation is 'on'... the
consequences are there ... (cause subtle and effect gross!).... If
the acknowledgment is proper (not necessary to 'declare' it
openly..... the 'better' ones would anyway know about it :) .....
if the acknowledgement is proper, that person becomes cautious about
one's own thought process! Response-ability.... to the new ability
within....
...
Typically, the strong bond with a
guide, teacher etc... with 'trust' as the main reinforcing
ingredient, obviates the 'ability' even, to undertake that
'acknowledgement of milestones properly'... A very close look at
'self-evolved' people would convince us the difference!
...
A gross example of wrong application of
the concepts of delegation and divesting of powers(for example)... is
wonderfully dramatised in a movie... Terminator-3 (rise of
machines)... the 'skynet' or that 'machine-villain' is now not going
to listen to its own master(maker/creator... whatever)!... Now, if
we look at our life-energy, (sorry.... not in its raw form... not
all of us are fortunate to at once look at it 'thus').... life
energy, in the manifest form, the human-being , the delegation of
'divine' powers 'looks' as if it is absolute, self-created powers
(not even divested, .... empowered.... acquired.. etc!!!)....
the more intelligent among us defy the very existence of the source
of that 'life-energy', and that is the greatness of this
subtle-delegation... it can afford such great risk! Existentially it
looks to be the greatest risk.... But, beyond existence (sorry ...
I am not able to describe it properly... that 'other than
existence') , there is hardly any risk! ... Beyond a point, it is a
pathless path.... so no question of milestones even! (Na rahey
baans, na bajey baansuri....!)
....
(Let us not accept the milestones which
are painted by others, fancifully, as really belong to us! On the
other hand, If I have evolved into a 'live-wire' let me not act as
if 'I am trying to be too humble', in the eyes of others... and
miss the vulnerability.... un-insulated, I might give shock to
others, unwired properly, I may go 'hay-wire' and short-circuit my
own growth itself!... It is perfectly okay to remain heavily
insulated, properly 'earthed' and yet allow innocent passers-by to
meddle with us!... call it by any name you like... clandestine
yoga... mysticism etc.. :)........)
