In this post, everyone except a few people is fool…..you and me…..everyone….I was just looking at the situation….the situation in our society……we respect each and every aspect of growth of our children……studies…..education……money…..respect and with a little bit of hesitation,arts also.In this pattern of society, you can get education which will give you money. This will also give you respect…..because in most of the cases, in our society money is respected the most……you transcend everything including laws and rules.This education system can give you fame….publicity and all that. If want to go deeper in arts, with some hesitation your parents will allow it. But one thing,it strikes me hard that this education system does not take any initiative to promote the spiritual growth. No father will be happy if his son says that he is going in search of truth. Each and every effort will be made to compel him away from his search. If a child says that he wants to go in search of truth eather than in search of money and fame and respectability, he is treated as he is running away………We are really fool…….so fool that we cannot even understand that like money and respectability, someone can also have thirst for truth……for becoming a nobody…….
Now, for a man like Buddha, there remains no option rather than running away from home……..If we take so much effort so that our children should attain mundane things like money and fame, why we are so frightened if they run behind truth? Now I am suspecting that we are not fools…..we are cunning.We have made a beautiful system. We have completely dumped down the quest…..whole system is made so that no child will think beyond money………..then Buddha runs away and then again we are ready to blame him……All our education is to kill our awareness….to make us robots……so we cannot rebel…….we are programmed right from birth…..so as we do not raise the voice…..but someone raises it…..then we will again try to poison him…….that he is corrupting the youth……breaking the traditions……I think this is the time…..to think honestly…..to make ourselves realize that in effort of being smarter, we are just becoming fool……….
