Everyone has his own definition of God and living – and it is so ingrained in our subconscious mind that whatever we do, we are in constant conversation with our inner self, reacting to varied situations and believing that all is being done by HIM and that he is our doer – after all, this is the baseline of all the scriptures of various religions and decree.
“Bhaaji, we all are descendants of that Supreme
being and have thus come to this form of life to do our Karma and pay back in
honour to his divine will – now that much materialism has occurred and everyone
is running to be something in life, we have lost our track – our endless
struggle to achieve the greatness of life has steered our path and that for
sure has turned us in the wrong dimension that we are now living.” – Only a man
with hardships and true test of time can exemplify this thought as him as most
of them have no time to sit and beguile the goodness of what life has offered
us.
Satinderji was certainly a man of interest and
that he is on the road ( in this hot weather of Delhi) but still reminiscing his
creator and also balancing his act of feeding his family and be a father, son,
husband, brother – this certainly is not less feat in itself, especially when
we see broken families and secluded parents left to fend for themselves – this is
life of modernity that we have created for ourselves!
He also has a different perspective of life and
death and about all the places of worship, for he thinks that HE resides in one
own self – believe me, out of endless spiritual books that I have gone through,
such wisdom comes after connecting with your inner self and acts of meditation
and being in solitude, but Satinderji has learnt from life – for him Life on
road is the best teacher, you meet so many people with different vicissitudes
and problems – juggling and making ends meet – with different philosophies but
at the end have one commonality – i.e. their belief in someone out there who
created this chimera of life and death…. Just coming from a spiritual journey
myself and still with the tinge of meditative stance, these words felt like
pearls of wisdom from a man on the road – he was not much educated and had no
standford or Hardward degrees but had the understanding of life – doing his
Karma without much expectations.
As finally my short journey was going to end
and it was time to pay him – I asked him two questions
“Satinderji , are you happy from life? To which
he smilingly replied “Sab udi Marzi, jo who Chahey!” [Whatever is HIS WISH and
whatever HE wants…]
The second question was “What is your expectation
in life….?” To which he again smilingly replied… [ Koi Chah nahi hai …mein
khush haan, mere toh vi neeche bade log ne…Bahut Shukurguzar haan udda [ I have
no expectations from GOD, I am happy whatever he has given me , there are
people much in struggle as I see them and I am thankful to HIM for whatever he
has bestowed on me!]
The moment of truth had just arrived for me as I passed thinking about what I had conversed with a common man but certainly a very satisfying soul….!!!
