Pragathi (Improvement) is the talk and need of the day. There are lots of tips for the physical, mental, financial improvement we get to learn from everyone. There are special courses on how to go about and get self improved. To excel in life such tips are necessary, nevertheless those tips bring in enormous change in our lives but there is still something that is essential hence we need to look for something more than just improvement. Why is it that we need to improvise again and again? Why improvement done once does not change our life permanently?

Improvement in our lives is just scaling from one level to another and an effort made to see surface changes. It is like getting a make-up done, not that it is unnecessary but we can do better. There is a change required permanently and which can happen when there is Parivartan (Transformation). It is a complete overhaul that takes place internally on the qualities called emotions, attitudes and habits. It means not just nipping on the negative traits every now and then, but also checking on our habits which turn out to be the hindrance in the process of reaching the Light within. By Transformation it is possible to have a through control on self and get aligned to the Divinity inside.

A bit of ego, pride and vanity is essential to improve, but at times they let “self pity” to creep in as well. This is the time when we are captured and imprisoned in the lockup of material world. Such situations make us thrive harder in the most terrible conditions with our attitudes and tendencies also taking part in the venture. In Improvement we work on our physical well-being and intend to see a positive change in our daily life. In a way we can say that Improvement is a part of Transformation, but unfortunately if we focus only on Improvement, we will always have the feeling of emptiness and insufficiency. This ability will not provide us the capability to cope up with the turbulent sea of emotions, wantons and desires. Improvement lacks in providing us peace, equanimity, compose that are essential to experience triumph over the battle of emotions within. Without the victory over the inner enemies the vision of Divinity within is near impossible.

While Improvement is a continuous process Transformation is one time feat. Transformation helps us to rediscover and recover our inheritance with Divinity. We are not human beings with a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings with a human experience. We are sparks of that Divinity on a human journey with a bit of attitude that has made us stray away from the path, we need to get transformed and return back to that path which takes us to our real abode. As soon as we make a wish to transform ourselves we tend to break free from all these false prestige and fake attitudes. We are able to relive the Light within us and get aligned to that Absolute Consciousness……. Thought we need Improvement it is much more important for us to concentrate on Transformation also……….. Am I right in saying so????
