these words come deeply from my self....
i know hw it feels like dedicating oneself to something... i've been in touch wit many ppl who have done so... and 'm also in process of doing vaguely something similar...
i wonder... wat it takes for such ppl to take such a BIG decision on their side...
its not very often that u find a person seeing all tat is there around him... al the influences,, environment.. positive or negetive... get this feeling...
i said i'm in process of doing something similar....
its really very strange/not - normal .. i guess , from an outsider perspective that one person doesn care to ENJOY his life like its just one! and nothing after that.. but struggle hard , be an something different from the others in general...
they might ask ... why is he doing this...? wat for?? is it called for?? why this?? why him...? what a waste.....
but, from a personnel experiance.. i'd like to share some of the things which might be going in mind of a person whom we are talking abt..
ofcurse.. none are the same...
everybody are unique in there own way...
i remember my teacher in highskool told me casually...
Uniquness is not Unique at all.
but anyways.. we will by grossly come to a conclusion tat there are certain CATEGORIES of ppl.. this is wit no dsrespect to indivisuality...
well continuing...
i guess there are phases in dedicating oneself for a purpose...
i'll tell first itself tat its jus my opinion on date.. it might change subsequently.. as and when i realise higher truths...
k.. getting back..
i was tellin abt d phases rite...
1> there is something called SAMSKAR in the person...
--- he is brought up in an environment.. it bears a high degree of influence on the person's thinking ability, point of view...
2> he finds something is not right somewhere....
--- he tries to search for wat is not rite...
--- then he searches for wat is d cause for it...
this may take a lot of time...
for if he has to be sure... and it might so happen tat he realises higher truths during course of time....
but he constantly wants update himself abt wat was wrong and wat is the cause of it..
3> now, that he has an idea of wat d cause is... he starts to think!!
-- this is a very deeply intuitive in most cases... (i guess)
-- he is very much concerned abt the prob now...
--- he is constantly thinking of it...
weather he is listning to a song or talking to a frnd or riting his assignment..
there are very few things which have higher priority than it...
he wud be so much in2 it tat he does not CARE abt anything else... i mean to say.. IT MAKES VERY LIL DIFF TO HIM
4> this is the stage where he takes his pledge..
-- he wud dedicate his life to it...
it doen mean tat he won do any other work ...
but his primary interest lies in solving the prob, and make the world bettr thru solving that prob...
few times...
if he has to chose btw frnds family or work..
he wud choose work unless there is real situation!
he doesn care wat others think of him,,, this i guess is a very bold move he takes...
he ceases from or tries to cease from attachment.. his goal is to solve the prob.. he wud do anything for it...
i assure u that there are really very few, who have reached this stage wanting something back from his work...
they don want fame, name any any worldly things... for them tat is not the prority...
and further i would stick my neck out and say 1 more thing...
the ppl who do follow this path, with /without notice are following wat is called "karma yoga"
it says tat u do work... for works sake..
and after ur work is done, surrender it to god and forget abt it.. in d sence, results
and there is one more suggestion.. tat its not the KARTARA-- doer who is important..
but the KARYA-- work is!!
so one has no room for EGO here...
its not he who is noticed by all.. it is the work...
this inherantly makes his ego to dissapear and he has no worries at all,,, he just concentrates on his work...
