Let us start at the Root🔗

Leadership from the grass roots level. Let us get a true knowledge of our entire system. We will go into a deeper understanding at the subtler levels of construction of the entire mind body and you system. Let’s take a good look at our tools and equipment. Let us see why we cannot relax, why we constantly have thoughts about past and future. Do they really help us.

It is time to know and get a little deeper understanding of ourselves. We will open owner's manual for our hardware and software. It is time to take responsibility to see how we are designed, how we receive and process information. How we are wired, you may call it. It is time to move away from just knowing we have outer skin, flesh, organs and bones. Let us take the responsibility to go a little deeper and see how our mind processes information. Until now all we understand about our system is just by the power of association.

Here is a small story that happened during World War I.

After the World War I a biplane was abandoned near a remote tribal settlement to Asia. The tribal people had never seen an aircraft all their lives. There was a lot of excitement and commotion about it and a big crowd gathered around it.

They wondered what it might be and each one started giving some suggestion about it. They finally concluded that since it had wheels, it must be a bullock cart! News spread in the village about the new bullock cart. There was a lot of celebration in the village and the biplane was taken around the settlement yoked to bullocks and it served as a bullock cart.

Some weeks later, a young tribal boy who had returned from the city where he was studying, saw the biplane. He got into it and looked around. He saw all the gears and mechanisms in it. He fiddled with the switches and levers one by one. Suddenly the engine came to life. He managed to taxi the plane around on the ground for a short distance and the villagers were shocked at what they saw. The boy had seen tractors being used and declared to the people that the biplane was not a bullock cart but some kind of tractor.

Six months passed by and a retired army officer came to the village. He saw the biplane being used as a tractor and was shocked! He told the villagers that it was not a tractor and that the plane could actually fly. They refused to believe him. The only things they had ever seen flying were birds! The army officer got into the aircraft, flew it for a short while and landed. The villagers were wonderstruck. Then they understood its true potential!

We are similarly using our bodies as bullock carts without knowing its true potential. Most of us operate only at the bullock cart level at the instinct level with our unconscious mind. Some of us use our system as tractors. These are the creative artists such as Van Gogh or famous scientists, philosophers, etc. But a very few of us use our bodies to its full potential. They are the Enlightened Masters who are so ecstatic all the time. They rise beyond all miseries and just fly. They operate constantly at the intuitive levels.

What was the difference in the aircraft from the time it was seen by the villagers to the time it was flown by the army officer? Nothing! The aircraft remained the same. Nothing was added to it or removed from it. No changes were made. Then what was the difference? Knowledge! The knowledge of the mechanism of the aircraft was the difference. The Knowledge about the aircraft converted its use from a bullock car to an aircraft. Similarly when we gain knowledge of our system, we will realize how we have been using it as a bullock cart.
