Change needs context to define it. As world is constantly changing. Still in another aspect it's very difficult to change ourselves. For instance we all know there are some words in any language which can be pronounced in more than one ways. But by rules or popular assent or believes we certainly know what is accurate pronunciation , still we don't stop the way we pronunciate certain words. We are habituated to it. So moral of the story, whatever change you wish to see , see what are your habits ? How much they are working for you or how much they are impeding your progress?
Inculcating or acquiring desired trait as habit requires genuine efforts and honesty to yourself and with all your good wishes it takes time. One needs to be patient for that. At the same time one have to strike balance between patience and sense of urgency. It is not contradictory as it may appear. Patience for reaching your goal and sense of urgency for tasks that are rquired for the same. That means your journey is not so linear , turns and twists can test your patience but there are too many distractions , then remember your ' sense of urgency' , your priorities help you to imbibe that sense. And there are things beyond your control , you alone cannot pull everything so you need to be patient for that.Patient for results and urgent for tasks at hand.
In our journey for perfection we saw in last article ' perfection' , how self reliance is tha aim of all religions. Self reliance is not just economical. In fact salvation is the ultimate form of self reliance and by that we don't mean other - worldliness , as of now we don't know other worlds or are even they exist? Maybe with different frame of reference they may be there but they can be inferred as of now but can't be experienced.
By salvation we mean developing mental faculties to a high level , thinking independently, being emotional intelligent etc.
In a nutshell we should all become saints . Now don't laugh :). Everyone should give it a try. Most of us will not reach that stage ever , but giving it a try will certainly improve ourselves. And people have very different image of ' being saint' . Either he/ she is dumb in tolerance or some mysterious with pecuiliar dress code ( uniform jaroori he , from 3 idiots :) ). It is by choice and sheer courage one can become compassionate to that level and never forget नाठाळाच्या माथी...
As mentioned above even after considerable time , even while we become aware of accurate pronunciation we do not change our habit. So this argument does not hold that if everybody tries to be saint world would be monotonous and boring. We know how easily we can fall, how many distractions to test us. Start your journey and it won't be same for everybody. And see how much fun it can be , how many variations that will puzzle almost anybody there can be. Then start your journey to try for that. Also in the West clergy decide who will be saint based on some proof of mystery or magic in somebody's lifetime. But in popular cultural milieu of India it is people who recognize somebody as saint based on character , no doubt mystery is here also to amuse people . And people can be recognized as such in their lifetime.
So pursue to be saint and your individuality will guide and lead you in your domain expertise , as imperfect versions still be good enough for a better world. And there are many ways to change our perapective to make world a better place . See you soon :)
