DIVINE DIRECTIONS BY PROF ANIL KUMAR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bhagavan gives a beautiful example. I am always tempted to quote
Bhagavans, because no contemporary philosopher has ever touched various aspects
of human life as much Baba himself.
He gave one example. Why should you feel proud of yourself in the galaxy,
in the solar system, and in the infinite number of bodies and planets spread
all over the universe?
What is that which is smallest? It is the earth, which is the smallest
and in this earth which is the smallest? One third is taken away by water and
the remaining is land.
After all, what is the size of land of this planet Earth, when compared
to planets and the stars, the sun and the moon? The earth comes to the size of
an ant and India comes to the size of the eye of an ant.
Andhra Pardesh State comes to the size of speck in the eye an ant.
Anantapur Districk Puttaparthi is the speck of the speck of the eye of the
ant's body and your house what is your value? Better not speak ... Better we
consult the house wife. So that has been so.
What is there to feel proud of? There is nothing and if I am to feel
proud of in this world I can certainly feel proud of my foolishness, no, there
is no greator fool that me here.
There is no stupid other than me... Yes, Yes, one can feel proud BOUT
ONE'S OWN STUPIDITY, ONES OWN ignorance, ones own foolishness, there is nothing
to feel proud of in this world. Nothing...
So a successful man will never boast of himself, will never any
publicity, will never go on speaking of hid own achievement, unless it was
mentioned earlier by some else. This is the point which Bhagavan says.
