Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru of Humanity


Mystics 1

In life, the existence can create situations where it shows us new hope of living but all the mystics favoured to die before we die. 
 It would be quite shocking indeed, when first time any mystic told about it but it is a fact, because death is nothing but just a change of body and every great thinker and Philosopher of India tells about it in his life but the misery of our society is that we don't give much respect to the mystics, we give respect to the leaders, Kings, Landlords, Warriors and the so-called Priest who don't know even about the meaning of Darshan. And mind you Darshan doesn't mean philosophy. On the contrary, it is quite deeper than the latter which is based on our spiritual insight and experiences.
When the first time, I thought to write a blog in which I desired to express my perspectives about the great thinkers of India, then the first barrier for me was:
who will listen to me? 
I don't have any name and fame then why should people listen to me?  
At present, I am struggling hard for my career and because of my ordinary life, no one is interested to listen and read what I write.  Though I know much about Indian school of thoughts and I also have many ideas but the problem is people don't give much importance to an ordinary person just because every ordinary person is an idealist in true sense who want to change his or her society but because of his or her tough life he or she can't think of it.  I am also an idealist and many times my friends called me mad, and there are still many of my friends who think as if I am mad person, maybe they are right and maybe they are wrong. But I least bother about it. 
Yes, it is true our society thinks idealists as mad persons though they worship the idealist and every time waiting for an ideal person but the truth is that we don't want to look like an ideal person. We just want to worship them only after their death and this is the real problem.
If anyone is perceiving me as a thinker then it is not true, I am not a thinker rather I am representing the thinking of the great thinkers of East.
Most of the time I think the solution of every kind of our problems of our present world and believe that only inner transformation is the solution.
Thinkers like J. Krishnamurti, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo and many more taught us to be brave and self-reliant like a lion.  And whenever I read the history of Indian philosophers and Spiritual master, I can only see one person who has the quality of a Naturalist, an Idealist, as well as a Pragmatist and that one is our great Guru: Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. But he was not a king. He was also not a warrior or a political leader. Rather he lived his life just like an ordinary person and showed the path of Simple Living and High thinking.
There are many people who know about Guru Nanak Dev ji's teaching. He was not just a Mystic rather He enjoyed and lived his life as a whole and lived a life of contentment and Selflessness.  He was always without any stress and he lived like a king and sometimes even Kings felt jealous when they observe his way of living. 
Actually, we can't describe his personality in words.  That's why He is the Guru of Humanity.

Mystics.

Who is a human being nobody knows about it?  Everybody is trying to know about it but still many philosophers, thinkers and psychologist tried hard to know and failed at last.  We tried to know about our problems during our limited life span and many times try to search the solutions of our problems. And our country India is very rich about this issue and matter as compared to any other countries because it is the nation of Sants, Gurus, sages, hermits, yogis, devotes, and mystics.  

That is the reason we are different from other countries because we saw the spiritual side of everything.  And it is always known as our biggest strength and also known as our backbone. 

But the question arose how to make our backbone strong?

When I was thinking about writing another blog then I thought why not to write a blog in which I focus only about the Indian thinkers and express my point of view about them but because of the lack of time I cannot give as much time to this blog as much it is required. But I think I must write something about the great Indian thinkers who had shown a path of salvation without any escape, though some great thinkers like Buddha, in the beginning, seemed like an escapist but he was not an escapist in real sense, rather he wanted to detach himself from the worldly relations, and his mind had given him a solution to be indifferent. And after achieving the stage of Self Realization he even met his wife Yashodra also.  

So today I am just presenting an image of the topic of my blog and my area of writing, I know there are very few who will read my blog but many times I thought I should write something so that I can reflect my Self through my writings.
