I found a very Good Water source. It had tranquil,clean crystal cool water. I just Love it. But the path which leads to it is slushy and there are thorns along the way. Wild animals also hangs around the place liking the same cool water. There are many Lotuses which bloom and honey bees keep buzzing around the water source.
Now, I have a choice- to ignore the waterhole and avoid going there because of the wild animals which roam around or because of the disturbance caused by the honey bees.
Or, Alternately I can prioritize and Decide that Good clean water is the necessity and learn to ignore or tread carefully around the perils involved. Most of us are in the same situation. With great effort of past or present Karma we come across a good guru. But we get disturbed by the happening around him and we become judgemental and because of Ego think that we are in a fit position to crticise even the great souls. We fall off. Such is the effect of Maya.
I feel we should prioritise and stay put. Dig deep in one place and find sparkling water than get frustrated move around and dig so many shallow pits around us that it poses a peril to the digger himself.
Om Tat sat.
Krishnamachari Santhanam.
