The Journey Within

An ardent disciple of a Master having read many philosophical books, having heard so many of master’s speeches, having gone through much of spiritual literature got bewildered and was in search of ‘one statement’ from the Master that he can follow instead of so many myriads of ideas, concepts, ways and means.

So in search of this one statement he devoutly reaches the feet of the master and asks him:

‘Sir, I have read many. I have heard aplenty. Please teach me one thing that I should do so that it remains with me for ever and that I can abide by that and I can be in the right path of the journey’.

The Master in His mercy gives in the form of three examples of Journey Within.

The Master says:

My child I give you three examples.

Observe the seed. It is from the tree. It’s thrown on the land. As long it is on the Land it does not sprout. It goes beneath the Land. It goes into journey within. Then it sprouts. It germinates. It starts as sapling. It grows. It grows into a tree. It again starts giving seeds. So where is the original seed now? Where it has gone into to germinate again?

Observe the Egg. The Egg goes into journey within under the hatching of its mother. For 21 days or so it takes its journey within. Then the egg breaks. The life appears. The Life has started. What did the egg do to become life? Where it went in? What journey does it take within that Life came out of that? Where is that Egg now?

Consider sperm and Egg. It takes 9 months and 10 days for that sperm and egg to take a shape of the child in the womb of the mother. The child is in journey within the mother. It takes the child time to come out into existence. Where was that child? What journey that underwent to come out into existence? Where is that sperm and egg now?
