The Path and the destination.

Lets reveal the mystery of this unrealised truth!!

The path is destination, and the destination is hidden in the path, as the Creator is hidden in the creation. -Sadguru Jaggi, 1st June,2021

I often think, and I am sure you all do it very often, where this life gonna end, what is the destination of this yearzzzzz long journey called life but unaware of the destination we are rowing our boats on different ways in different rivers of this planet…..

Let’s think in the realm of reality with some relatable examples:

• What do you think the UPSC preparation all about, I mean why the UPSC exam needs such exhausting preparation, is it the pressure bearing preparation of the aspirant or you think that handling India’s administration requires the preparation so early on, or do you think, as I do, that an IAS is made during her/his preparation, not during her/his job, as rightly subjected, “the destination is hidden in the path”.

• Umm!! if I provide you with a helicopter with a pilot, and it drops you on the peak of Mt. Everest. In this case, would you expect your photo the next day in The Times of India, no, right? Definitely, you will feel great at the tip, but do you think you would really count that experience in your accomplishments, I guess you won’t…

From these examples I just wanted to make you realize that, we humans (assuming rational being) can never be satisfied with the destination if we do not reach it through its proper path or we reach the destination without tracking on the journey, it no longer stay precious and valuable in our mind.

Have you ever wondered, why a college degree is very much important in this world, for this also, the answer lies in between the lines I talked about. Having a college degree means you have travelled the three years’ long path and the actual destination, i.e., your network, your interpersonal skills and your developed skills of adaptation, coping with pressure, managing the 24/7 of your life and the list goes on which is not even mentioned on your degree, but your actual destination was these things which you learnt along your journey, hope it made sense that The path is destination, and the destination is hidden in the path…

If you are even very slightly inclined towards spirituality and understand it a little bit, then the gist of all the spiritual knowledge in the highest books of religion is to understand that the creator is present everywhere (in every atom of every molecule of every compound of every substance of every planet), and because he is god, he preserves his uniqueness at the same time, therefore it is said that as the Creator is hidden in the creation.

Safarr…..Khoobsoorat haii mannnzill see bhii…..

Unfortunately, majority of us realise this fact at our deathbed that whatever we have in our lives is only safarr, mannnzill is only one, the ultimate truth of life, i.e., death!!
