Unless the seed becomes a tree, and the tree bears fruit, the seed is not complete and the cycle is not complete. From “a seed to a seed” is the whole journey. It starts with one and becomes many seeds. In the same way, human life finds its fulfillment when it realizes the vast nature of its Being;
When it realizes, I am not just the body, I am more than the body. I am not just an individual; I am much more than that! This realization alone can bring fulfillment. Till this awareness comes, there is restlessness inside.
The way to get this fulfillment is through three things: 1. Awareness (Bodh) 2. Unity (Yog) 3. Love (Prem) These are the three ways for the seed to realize its total potential.
Awareness means being aware that everything is a dream. Wake up and see the dream nature of everything. ‘I am nothing’, ‘I don’t need anything’, ‘I belong to everyone’, ‘I am everybody’ - that is Bodh.
Union (Yog) is that which cannot be expressed in words. It is only realized in experience. Realizing that everything is one, I am That is Yog. Love cannot be tied down by words. It is our true form. It is not a feeling. We often think that love is a feeling, this is wrong. This is why people always get entangled in it.
Look back at your own life; do you have an experience of your own birth? Do you remember? No! At the age of two or three you suddenly started realizing some things in this world, not everything though. Then, by the age of four years, you started realizing your identity. But if you are asked, “Were you really born?” You don’t know! We were there! We all know that. It is an abstract thing but it’s really very concrete.
