THE PERFECT 'ME' IN REAL LIFE!

An old Post that straight addresses this week's IndiSpire Prompt

It looks very much evident that I am perfect but when the right time comes, I suddenly notice that I am nowhere near to it. Write a post justifying this reality! #theperfectme

is edited, abridged and brought out here not altering the core message a bit..

A young man who was straight forward having no faith in any of the staunch beliefs often used to assert,

• "What's the point in stopping active work and the other streamlined activities in the name of these blind beliefs? It's almost a sin to do that!" 

Once when he vouched on his health and spoke something, some one said, "Touch Wood!" Without attempting doing that, he instantly asserted,

• "It's Okay.. Ultimately it's me that should face anything, isn't it? Let me see the end of this!"

And when a similar thing happened the 2nd time but the health issue was of a bit serious in nature, still he remarked with all coolness,

• "Once we've a body means there would be certain ups and downs.. No point in relating all that to something which has no base!"

But unfortunately when that happened a 3rd time with an associated greater agony in facing it, the young man got shaken up a bit feeling almost helpless and confided to a well-wisher..

• "I never believed here all these days but now, I am at my wits' end totally shaken up on my own rationalization!"

The elderly looked at him, smiled and said,

"Dear! That's where this 'my confidence' plays an eternal trick on me based on my own ideas and feelings of 'What I am' in my life.. This 'What I am' is such a variant in our life ranging from almost the basic mundane side of life at one end to the highest spiritual side of life at the other end like..

### When a professional swimmer was with his friends, one close friend asked,
'If all of us are in a danger of drowning, whom do you save first.. Me or any other?'
The swimmer instantly said,
'Me, of course!'

### Many may say
'My child is highly intelligent!'

But ultimately, there's no truth in that saying because the world has people of varying intelligence!

### When a philosophical elderly gentleman said,
'In practice, the normal ‘I'of ours can never see the situation in front as is!',

The bewildered friend queried,

'How can the normal ‘EYE’ not see the happenings in front?'

### When the ardent Aspirant knocked at the door of his Master, the Master asked,
'Who's that?'
'It's me!'
The Aspirant said..
'Me means who?'
'To Know that only, I am here!'

### When the Great Saint was asked to describe 'I', He said
'A salt doll went into the deep sea to find its depth, in the process itself got merged with the sea waters and ultimately there was the single one sea alone proving the Sacred Saying, Aham Brahma Asmi, the highest level of identifying the 'Me' within!'

See, dear!

When the Great man was asked to be cautious about his mighty enemies, he said
'They may torture me or kill me and I am ready for both!'
And He meant it a 100%!

Again,

When the Master was questioned for not working and spending time in talking on Philosophy, He smiled and said,
'I need not work.. I do not have any desire to satisfy.. For my body maintenance, some of you may feed me and if not let this body end!'
He exactly meant what He spoke!

Such Truthful Assertions from Great Souls alone ultimately stand the test of time but not the usual ones I make in my day to day life!

So in life, 'What I am' is surely unknown to me at this stage of life with my level of understanding as that needs 

Boundless energies, 

Infinite concentration and 

Limitless sacrifices

At my end before establishing the Truth therein.. Till that time, it is ever a safe practice for me to 

Hold,

Pause and 

Smile 

Rather than quickly affirm saying 'I am sure that!'"
