Attachment"Most people are not bothered about spiritual perfection. Why? Because in order to have spiritual perfection they have to leave all of their attachments. And, once they leave their attachments, still they will say, ‘We have been deprived of something, we have lost some great pleasure.’ The way out for these people," Professor Sharma continued, "is they should try to feel the soul. They should try to feel that bliss, in their prayer and in their meditation. They should enjoy things which are not worldly things." He gestured, "But really, you can look at it this way. A man should grow from whatever state he’s in. He leaves one state and moves to another when he’s perfect in the former state. It’s like this: a child who studies in class one learns and masters class one; then he passes to class two. That is, when he’s perfect in class one, he goes to class two. When he’s perfect in class two, he goes to class three. And so he goes through school. Similarly, here also, the husband and wife grow and develop in household affairs. They learn how to be a good husband and a good wife. They receive spiritual benefit and light as they grow, becoming better and better husband and wife, father and mother. "So life is God’s class one, God’s class two, God’s class three, God’s class four . . . like that. If I go on learning the lessons and attaining perfection in one state, then I will be moved to the next position, and that perfection itself will lead me to the whole perfection," he waved his hand. |
