Is being a Seeker Fun?

 


Is being a Seeker Fun?

When one talks about spirituality in today’s world – the look one gets is – ‘Come on, get out of here’. It is like you said something absolutely unreal an impractical! But is this really the case? People think that to be spiritual is to be serious – sit and meditate, go to the forests, mountains, etc. This is really not the case.

As a seeker of the ultimate truth, one usually begins by visiting the samadhis of saints and trying to get inspiration or guidance from there. Swamiji says that for you to find your own living Master you need to pray from the core of your soul for guidance at any of these samadhis and you will definitely be guided to the medium who will be your guide in your lifetime. The plea has to be ardent and desire deep and this divine occurrence of reaching your own Guru happens like magic. Your Guru then provides you with the guidance to awaken your soul, give you self-realisation and ensure that you set out on your inner journey.

The question is – is this fun? In my experience it is nothing but fun. The day you completely surrender to a higher power and let that power guide all your actions, then you find out that you are just a canoe in the vast ocean that is being guided by a divine power. This feeling itself makes you feel light and unburdened. In my experience, I have found out that life goes on auto-pilot and everything just keeps happening, we find that we have more and more time on our hands as we take on more and more activities – multi-tasking becomes simple – as we begin to live in the moment. The moment is always filled with joy – the journey with Samarpan has been full of joy, fun, bliss, amazing spiritual experiences and most of all it has given a sense of calm, peace and inner silence that cannot be explained in mere words.

As a seeker who has found the path, you learn that with the eighth arm - of ashtang yog – namely samadhi – Swamiji has given us a lift to the top pedestal – here we find the unity of mind and body, thought and action which results in our finding the harmony with nature as we begin to unify with it – we find that our oneness with our own self has led us to a feeling of divine bliss and calm – a life filled with perpetual joy. So, definitely being a seeker is nothing but joyous!
