musings 304

It is nice, always to think of Brahmam, Jeevatma, Paramatma, Brahma jijnaasaa, Dharma jijnaasaa and so on..

We can identify ourselves with Parabrahmam too..

But we really do not know whether Brahmam gets hungry..

whether brahmam winces in pain if someone steps on its toe,

or whether it has a toothache..

Besides, the philosophers who waxed eloquent about spirituality and the oneness of man with God, too died mostly of old age or diseases..

Even Shankara was not an exception..

So spirited spiritual talk can make sense only when we have our human legs firm on the ground..

True, we get carried away by animated speeches in congregations..

I take care to have my feet firmly held on solid ground..

At least I believe I do .
