Longing

What is Longing???

    If you see, in this whole universe there is longing... The whole creation... In fact this longing keeps everything up & running. The Day longs for the Dusk, the Dusk long for the night, the night longs for the Dawn & Dawn for the Day... Even in the nature there is longing... Flowers long for the Bees, Bees long for the nectar, Birds long for their nests... Leaves long for the sunshine... Flower too wait for the Sun to rise so that they can bloom... While some flowers bloom at the Night... Every aspect of life, whether living or non-living is longing for something or the else...

    The disciple is longing for the Master and the Master also longs for the Disciple... Such an amazing gift is this Longing... For few it becomes a part of their life and for a very few Fortunate ones Life itself become Longing...

    Now if u see there is a slight difference between Remembrance & Longing... you have to keep remembering things which for sometime you tend to forget... But when there is longing... the thought never leaves your attention in the worst as well as the Best of situation... When remembrance seeps through your entire existence it becomes longing...

   It is the most precious gift given to the whole creation by the Divinity... "Param Virahaskti" - Longing for the Divine/Master. This is the Longing at the Pinnacle of all other types of Longings... in this state even the slightest distance cannot be bearable... The Ultimate end of Longingis a state where even the personal existence or the Duality is also unbearable... All knowledge dawns automatically once this state or stage is achieved... 

   The funniest part is that no matter what all you do, what and however much practice ( Sadhna ) you do it is not at all possible to attain this state... you cant "DO" anything to attain this state... You can only Pray... Only the Master can grant you this state that too IF HE WANTS...
