Before
the advent of the digital scales which display the weight of the
commodity when placed on the single pan, we had balancing scales which
had two pans on both side and a needle in the middle to show balance.
The one we see in the hands of the blind women depicting justice is just
the one. To balance the needle either we have to lift from the pan
which has more or add to the pan which has less.
Lifting
and Loading are the two acts which have to be selected as the situation
demands. One need to be a lifter for those who have burdened their
lives with distress, all we need to do is to unburden their sorrow and
stand with them at the crisis. But in most of the case we become loaders
at that time and put more burdens over them. One successful way to be a
lifter is by offering words which help them ease the stress and strain
of living and help elevate their self-esteem.
Loading
happiness is another act which is necessary to fill joy in those who
are desperately in need of them. A spiritual talk of happiness is within
and one need to look inside does not work at this juncture. When a
person who is suffering and has not yet reached the level of
understanding that pain is inevitable and suffering is optional, we need
not sermon in front of them. The immediate action is to provide some
solace to them at that very instant and when time is ripe they will know
that pain is indeed inevitable. It is better if we are not loaders of
happiness than being lifters of happiness. When an individual is down
and low it is the time for some to pull him further down. It is like
rubbing salt over the injury. It is obliging to let the person who is
down and low for himself rather than causing more agony to him.
To
be in readiness to be loader or a lifter is to be humane. All of us
need loaders and lifters in every stage. Yes, ultimately it is the
Absolute who has to take care and is taking care of every single
organism in this universe, but He is doing it through this loaders and
lifters. That is the reason for us to call the one who has comes to our
aid at the crucial time as GOD.
Now
if we are acting on the direction of the Absolute, to be loaders of
happiness and lifters of anguish then what about those who are loading
anguish and lifting happiness? Who is directing them? Is it the Absolute
who is instigating them? No, if I am doing such acts which is not
acceptable by the mass I am not in connection with the Absolute
Consciousness but am doing it with the concern of my Individual
Consciousness. My Individual Consciousness has the support of my mind
which is aided by my senses and my character {Tri-Gunas namely Satva (Serenity),
Rajas (Passion) and Tamo (Ignorance)} it gets the orders from them. Not that its orders are
always wrong, but if the Rajo and Tamo Guna is predominant the decision
taken could be uncalled for. Even if that decision is consulted by the Buddhi (Intellect) which is always in connection with the Absolute Consciousness
the implementation can be avoided.
Be a Loader of Happiness and Lifter of Anguish………….!!!!
