..BUDDHIHEEN…..

Let us consider that we are in our school days. If we make up a mentality about a teacher that he or she does not know anything, then we will not be able to grasp the contents being delivered. We will remain in an euphoria of being intelligent and the mind will remain clouded out of ego. The teacher, being elder to us, knows something more about life. Even, if the teacher is of our age, he or she has his or her own experiences in life. We should be ever ready to learn.

The term Buddhiheen indicates the immense humbleness of Tulsidas Ji. He says to his Guru that he is devoid of any literary assets or knowledge, he claims that his surface is blank, for the blessings of his Guru. Since a blank slate can only take up the true literary works. He is ready to receive.

We all have heard about Thakur Ji and Swami Vivekananda Ji. When Vivekananda Ji met Thakur Ji for the first time, Thakur Ji merely touched his head, and Vivekananda Ji was taken into the realm of formlessness. Vivekananda Ji was puzzled, experiencing the mystic magic. Then, Thakur Ji brought him back to the gross plane of consciousness.

We may claim that we have not received such a Guru, who can take us to the Unity, by a mere touch. With this proclamation, we need to introspect our capacity. Are we ready to feel and perceive the grand force? Vivekananda Ji was always immersed in that state, he was the one, amongst the Saptarishis. Do we have that receiving end? We feel comfortable, while blaming others, but it is cumbersome to peel within. Such grand blessings will transform into the cinders, within a fraction of seconds.

We are not even ready to surrender at the Divine feet, for meagre daily life issues, and we believe that we are ready to receive the blessings. That is why, Tulsidas Ji has entitled himself as Buddhiheen, the one without materialistic knowledge. It is very important to revise this phrase again and again, for we may realize that when we bow before the alter, we should bow our mind, irrespective of the notion that the body sweeps the floor. When we bow by heart, we are emptied, then we receive the blessings.

When we bow before the Lord and say that we are the mere tools of Allah, we should mean it. The sajdah should be true, for the blessings are perceived in a magnificent manner.

Then Tulsidas Ji has said, Sumiro Pawankumar.. . Pawankumar is Hanuman Ji, Guru of Tulsidas Ji. He says that he bows before his Guru, once his mind is emptied, devoid of all the garbage. We might be going to the temples everyday, and prostrating before the alter with enormous desires of the world. Then, we return with a baggage of superficial bounties.

If we have a bowl filled with all the scum, and we wish to fill it with good stuff, we need to empty it. But, in reality, we are not ready to empty our minds. We try to keep all the assets and enjoy the true bliss, which is not possible.

Let us see it again. Buddhiheen tanu janike, Sumiro Pawankumar… . O Guru! I am as blank as a crisp paper. Knowing this notion, I am bowing before Thee. Kindly guide me.

We need to believe that when we utter the Name of Allah, we should mean it.

Then, we receive the blessings.

Bala– The true SOULAR energy, not the physical or mental energy. O Guru! Give me the true strength, which will make me realize the Truth.

Buddhi- The true sense of discrimination, O Guru! May I realize that I am neither the body nor the mind, neither the world is mine nor I belong to the world. May I be attached to Thee, nor to the world. I want to enjoy the world, but with the sense, that Thou art enjoying the bounties, without being stuck to the filth. May I realize the demarcation between truth and delusion.
Once we die, we will lose each and every penny.

Vidya- The True knowledge, not the knowledge propagated under ‘learn to earn’ scheme. But, it is important to learn the materialistic knowledge, for the sake of bread and butter. This knowledge should become a service to the planet, not a tool to acquire ego. “May this knowledge not transform into avidya, May I be used as Thy tool.”

If a doctor acquires all the education and builds mansions and hospitals for the sake of enjoyment, then he will suffer. But, if he uses his education for the wellbeing of the planet, and serves all without a speck of ego or greed, then he will transform the cosmos, and a renaissance shall descend.

Again, Buddhiheen tanu janike, Sumiro Pawankumar. Bala Buddhi Vidya dehu mohi.. Being empty is important, it is possible by revising Charan Saroj Ruj, Nij man mukur sudhari…
