According to Bhagavad Geeta, Knowing both - the Real and the Unreal is crucial and very important.
Many times, unreal comes to us disguised as Real.
And more often than not, it seems very much real to us.
We often get hurt by those who come to us as friends and wellwishers, and we fail to see their real faces.
In the famous epic of Ramayan, Ravan came to kidnap Mata Sita disguised as a Saadhu - a sage.
But Sita ji could not see the 'Real - hidden behind the mask.
She thought what she was seeing was Reality - a true sage.
She would have been safe if she could see the distinction by using simple logic - A real sage would not have asked and insisted her to step out of her safety zone.
Instead of believing and obeying blindly to a fake Saadhu, she should have used logic - reasoning and common sense - a faculty that God or Nature has provided to humans in abundance.
Bhagavad Geeta neither supports blind faith nor ritualism of any kind.
It encourages the use of logic and reasoning to make a distinction between Real and Unreal.
Because without understanding the unreal, Real can not be realized.
Lord Krishna says: the sincere seekers try to comprehend both of them thoroughly.
उभयोरपि दृष्टो अन्तः तु अनयो अनयोस्तत्त्वदर्शिभिः
Ubhayorapi drishto Antah Tu Anayo Tattav-Darshibhih
The final truth about both of these is clearly seen by the knower of Truth (Bhagavad Geeta 2-16)
I believe this is one of the most significant messages of Bhagavad Geeta -
- A first and crucial step towards realizing the Truth.

Powerful thank you
ReplyDeletePlease also shed some light on why that accidental incident happened with Baba ji and it happened by whose mistake?
ReplyDeleteGuru ki sikhlayi ko jeeven me le aao.... Vo apne sabhi santo bhagto ke bich me hi unke vicharo jo unhone sikh di humesha us nadi ke tarah humare ander hi behte rahenge...mistake kis se hue kaise hue..in sab baato ko chod nirankar ke sath judo...
DeleteSo many things, so many incidents happen in the world, which no one can explain why?
DeleteUndoubtedly, it was a great tragedy - but it was an accident.
The world is full of order and disorder - where accidents do happen every day. However, it's Human nature to find faults in everything and every situation. We always try to blame someone for the incidents that we find hard to accept - and if we can't find anyone else to blame, then we may even blame God for it.
Acceptance and letting go of the past is the only way to find peace -and to continue our journey to attain bliss.
May Peace be with you.
