Answer:
Desire To The Fullest & Dream to the Fullest
A revolutionary article by Guruji Dr. N. K. Sharma to give speed, growth & completeness to life with a view to dispel spiritual blind belief & ignorance and to unveil the secret of firm truths.
You must dream & desire to the fullest because these are the basic elements that give growth & novelty to life. By killing these elements, the growth, development & novelty of life would also get killed. Life will become monotonous, stagnant, dry, and listless like a stinking pond of water. Desires & dreams are in favour of life and not against it and they are indispensable parts of life. A life without dreams & desires is more than death.
The growth & development around you everywhere is the result of these desires and dreams. Dreams, desires and imagination are invaluable & natural gifts of god in man. We must try & utilize these gifts of god not by getting attached to them but by remaining detached from them. We must use them like we play our role in a drama with all our playfulness, sincerity and capability. If these virtues start creating grief, hatred, greed, attachment and sorrow then it means that we are misusing them. Therefore, the question is not to abandon these desires but to become aware and come out of the deep ignorance and the state of unawareness.
God never creates beautiful gardens. He only creates wild forests. We have to convert them into beautiful gardens. He only creates stones; we have to make statues out of them. He only provides with the raw material to prepare sweets but we have to make sweets from that material. These gardens, statues & sweets would never have been possible without our dreams & desires. Never blindly believe the words of our saints & scriptures. Most of the statements in them are against life. They are lofty sermons. That’s why there appears no synchronicity in spirituality and the practical life of man, while the fact is that both spirituality & practical life are intermingled with each other. The spirituality that does not teaches us the art of best kind of living, doest not gives us the potential to fully blossom and does not provide complete prosperity should be allowed to remain in he ancient books. This fact would sound strange that if all the people on this Earth are made to become Buddhas, nanaks & Mahavirs, then the world would surely be at the zenith of spiritual progress but it would be at the nadir of the material advancement. This one-sided progress is extremely dangerous & fatal. The real balance lies in the combined progress of spiritualism & materialism. Therefore, brahma, Truth, world and lie are the ancient scriptures’ greatest half-lies and half-truths. After living in this body for 100 years, if we call it an illusion and call the soul within, real, then what would a bigger illusion, lie and ignorance than this? The body that we keep using for 24 hours, we call it unreal and the soul which we never use and listen only to its words, we call real. The extent to which this body is true, to the same is extent the soul is real too.
We are being a wrong notion since centuries that satisfaction is the greatest treasure. I feel that dissatisfaction is the greatest inspirational force behind progress. If you start thinking that I already have a cycle, now why to desire for a car or an aeroplane? Then you would continue to ride a cycle all your life. If you feel satisfied with one room, you would never be able to construct a bungalow. We are the sons of God and God means prosperity and unlimited growth. So, we must try to prosper limitlessly. We have to become Brahma and Brahma means expansion and to become Buddha means contraction. You can never achieve this expansion without being dissatisfied. This desire to expand, research and search new things becomes the cause of great inventions. Why to restrict ourselves to the Moon, why not reach the stars? This dissatisfaction, this thirst, this desire, this dream, this imagination is the prime basis for growth & progress.
