vacation

Entertaining these basic questions: What is pain? How can I avoid it? What is joy? How can I have more? What is life?
Please understand, how many times you may hear answer for these questions from your father, mother, uncle, society, teacher, finally from Guru. How many ever times you may listen an answer for these questions, listening to better and better answers for these questions and clicking with them is maturity. Listening your own answer and experiencing once for all is enlightenment.
Understand. It’s nothing but basic questions. What is life? What is death? Why suffering? Why pain? What is bliss? What is joy? How can I have more joy? How can I have less pain? What is it that is living inside me? What is it that changes inside me? What is it that does not change inside me? What is it that is making me move? What is it that is making me tired? What makes me exciting? What makes me feel bored?
For these basic questions, if you have better and better answer and click with the better answers, that is called Maturity.
Naturally, the answer your friend gives when you were 5 year old will be different, mother who gives when you are 6 year told will be different, when your father gives when you are 14 will be different. Finally when you reach your Guru, the answer He gives will be different. So clicking with better and better answers is Maturity.
Ultimately, clicking with your own answer, experience, and the question disappearing once for all is Enlightenment. That is Enlightenment.
Seeking is nothing but coming back to the basics, that’s all. Seeking is nothing but coming back to the basics. Seeking is nothing but taking up a life without vacation!
That’s all, I tell you.
See, vacation is nothing but the questions you don’t want to face pushing you to live the life you are not living.
Please understand, the questions you pushed under the carpet are jumping from below the carpet and sometime it even bites the wrong place. That is what is the nagging you feel for the need of vacation. If you are living in a space, the very idea of a vacation disappears, you have clearly ironed out your life. You don’t need to stand anywhere waiting for something; vacation, what is vacation? Just waiting to get out of life you’re living, go somewhere and expect you will get something."
"Anyhow, if you are thinking you have to go somewhere and stand for some joy, something to happen to you, you are just pushing all your basic questions under the carpet.
No! Catching, understanding the life where boredom becomes meaningless. Vacation word becomes meaningless. Where life itself becomes vacation; you are doing continuously something which you are enjoying, cherishing, feeling blessed, feeling blessed constantly, so come back to the basic questions, that’s all I call seeking. And stop cheating yourself with the answers with which you’ve not clicked. - THE AVATAR HIS HOLINESS BHAGAVAAN PARAMAHAMSA Sri Nithyananda Swami
