...i've just been outside...and saw many pilgrims coming from the 'sacred lake' of Grand Bassin, Mauritius........they have been walking for hours n hours......
...they were exhausted...in the hot sun....
....why do they go to the 'sacred lake'...here are the reasons behind:
....asking Lord Shiva for the following:
~ health
~ wealth
~ happiness
~ peace
~ success
~ fame and power
...only for their own benefits...for asking and asking....give me this...give me that...a lot of desires are there.......and what are they going to get in return....temporary of all the above mentioned.........they are walking long distances for hours and hours....only to go and pray to Lord Shiva to fulfill their desires...this is not prayer....their minds are telling them that Lord Shiva is sitting there, in the 'sacred lake' and will fulfill all their wishes.....
....Wake up....
....Lord Shiva is within yourself....seek within u...u'll meet Him there....u r only wasting your energy and time by walking hours and hours like this....
...People gain Cosmic Energy during sleep and that also a small amount so that the day after he can use this energy to do his activities....n what are these people doing....wasting this energy by walking long distances for hours and hours...do u know how much energy u r wasting.......
....if instead of walking long distances...u have sat in meditation, u would have gained more and more Cosmic Energy and at the same time....u r on the real pilgrimage to meet Lord Shiva Himself.....
....Lord Shiva is the death of your ego....of your desires....of your thoughts...
...and u go to Him just to increase your ego...to fulfill your desires....
....most people when they pray...they pray with their minds....reciting mantras as if like children in school reciting A B C D by heart.....they don't even know the meaning of these mantras....but only reciting these to make Lord Shiva happy.....then He will fulfill all your desires....
....u r fooling yourself......beware.....
....Go within in meditation....n be desireless....then u'll meet the Lord....the Lord is formless n in form too.....if u r receptive...u'll feel His presence....His presence is like death coming to u....and u'll see Him in form not with your two eyes....but with your third eye....what u see with your two eyes are all illusions....don't try to fool Him by walking to the 'sacred lake' .....u r fooling yourself.....
...go deeper and deeper within....n be one with Him.........
...a true devotee of Lord Shiva knows why Lord Shiva is mostly seen in meditation posture....it is an invitation to u all....Lord Shiva says: If u wish to be one with me.....u'll meet me by going deeper and deeper within yourself....
...The inner pilgrimage helps u to be one with the Lord....so enjoy the inner pilgrimage instead of the outer one.....
Love and blessings to all.............
