buddha_lamp1.jpgI was just wandering the other day about the life of buddha……

“How the hell did he get that..?, “was he destined?”

Hm..those were the obvious answers one would expect. The social man in me  almost wanted to run to a buddhist monk and trouble him with the stran of questions.tThe next moment i saw that it was like the blind leading the blind.we all know what it means to be troubled by a thought.The question almost knocked me off my chair and my peace….so i decided to find sone bodhi tree for my answers.

I went to a coffee shop and ordered for a hot chocolate and was still absorbed in the question..just then i found a child  who after trying out everything, was getting bored .But then suddenly he laughed and his face shone with a radiance.I got it….

How stupid we are ! I just thought and laughed to myself.It was as if i could see it..straight into the eyes…was the answer.

“Buddha had done almost everything in his life from body to mind,  from wife to yogini , from gurus to sadhnas, from pleasures to pain and from desire to gratification.No work to do and no charm coz he had seen it all.”

So  in utter tiredness and boredom  he sat down and closed his eyes in peace…and sat there till there was nothing else ..patiently…and there was a burst….of eternity..silence ..and light. The lotus blossomed and he saw it..he was in all.ans all was in him..The moment of truth….He laughed and said to himself-

“ I  now know for sure that it is that “happens’ is enlightenment…..I could have saved some time…but i think it was nice to be travelling on a journey from Siddhartha to the Buddha….”

I had my journey and realised that ” Ultimate boredom is Enlightenment ..”

so long for a cup of coffee…i enjoyed and smiled at the society for teaching me how to become ” A HUMAN”.
