Two Different Worlds

Spirituality is all about steering free of desires

Suppose a chief minister of a state visits me. They will say, ‘Do some yagam to ensure that there is no problem to our rule. Perform some poojas’. They seek only materialistic wealth. Siva Shankar Baba is a Gnani. All these positions are a waste. Even the kings become a handful of ashes in the end. Free yourself from desires, rise above illusions. But people do not understand this language of a Gnani. What they want is an astrologer who advises them to do some poojas, follow a remedial measure to ensure they reign as ministers for fifty more years.

Spirituality is all about steering free of desires. But people seek spirituality as a means to nurture more desires. This is the paradox. Those who have realized that the world is depraved, understand a Gnani like Siva Shankar Baba. All desires must be routed. Till now what people seek is to satisfy their desires. But they seek these in the name of spirituality. These are actually two different languages. This is the true nature of two different worlds.

Everyone is filled with the same love and divinity. It is a question of people understanding or realizing what they lost. At present they are without identities. When they identify themselves they will identify their worth.
