Can we live as Gita teaches us - Like a Lotus leaf living in water but not moistened...... read on?
we ought to live in this world like a lotus leaf, which grows in water but is never moistened by water [Cp. Gita 5.10]; so we ought to live in the world--our heart to God and our hands to work. It is good to love God for hope of reward in this or the next world, but it is better to love God for love's sake, and the prayer goes: "Lord, I do not want wealth, nor children, nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth, but grant me this, that I may love Thee without the hope of reward--love unselfishly for love's sake."
Chapter 5 teaches Sanyasa Yoga, the renunciant path, which is fit for people groomed from childhood by hermits in the Ashram, with strict sensory discipline and steadfast efforts to reach the goal of realizing the Divine! We can not forego a breakfast easily or brook a coffee without sugar! Even slight discomfitures throw us into great torments! How can we try a path fit for renunciants?
Often Bakthi or devotional path is said to be best for this Age of Kali (evil forces) but even that requires much grooming in spiritual wisdom to be convinced thoroughly first about the greatness of Godhood! Without that abundant appreciation of the Greatness within we can not love God at all. Do we have that ambiance now sir?
From KG to PG parents pester the kids to qualify academically and professionally, not mind spirituality in the least. What little ritualistic prayer is said, with whatever lukewarm interest, the aim is not the least to gain spiritual wisdom but material prosperity, social status and command over people and wealth! So spirituality has little space in our mundane lives now!
But yes, there are people still devoted to Divine pursuits with utmost sincerity, in the remote Ashrams far removed from towns and cities! There are Acharyas who had taken to sanyas and guide children of interested parents in the spiritual fields. But they are too few. If hundred people seek divine masters, ultimately ten continue in the path, the balance of ninety returning to mundane life to ''teach spirituality'' and make a living from that 'job'!
Very poor and suffering householders who had lost all joy of living have often turned to spirituality, just to tarry for sake of their family, in the hope that they would weather out the miseries some day! Rarely even rich ones, like Rajni Kanth, have turned to spirituality, which is one in a million. But the showy devotees I see crowded in temples and Ashrams of Acharyas are often exhibiting their piety more than practicing any path!
Many of us respect saints, salute them meekly, make a decent donation for their spiritual activities and seek blessings for mundane benefits only. So the Gurus have started recommending at least Naam Smaran, the chant of a chosen divine name / manthra, with the assurance that the practice would help tide over problems and bless prosperity etc. Some follow the advice with zeal while many give up if their material desires are not fulfilled early!
So lotus are not here please. Our tanks of wisdom have nearly dried in most places and where there is some water the lilies of devotion have been cut off for choking the tanks (limiting our material cravings)! This is Age of Infatuation, not Devotion! But you can visit the Spiritual Groves in Himalayas like Rajni does!
