Samsara and Sampradhaya
- perpetual creation and tradition
Existence has been existing since time immemorable. The show is on eternally with no beginning or end. We are always in between. We are just a part like so many others which have come in and gone out of existence. If you consider yourselves the main part you will consider every other apart from you as subordinate or they are there to serve you, you dominate everything and spoil the show of ongoing nature. If out of realization you come to an understanding that you are just an insignificant part nothing compared to all other, apart from you, which have been in existence time immemorable then you feel humbled and will develop gratitude towards the whole existence.
We are part and parcel of the whole show called nature - The Prakrithi. We are part of the Samsara wherein everything is being created or generated and brought into existence and then it gets degenerated, and again regenerated and the process goes on endlessly eternally. Samsara means endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. In a sense, nothing is new here, everything is regenerated creations as such. Everything comes in a new package in new shape, size and new form. The physical identity keeps changing but the essence inside it remains the same, the spirit or the Atma - The Soul.
A tradition is something that is being practiced and passed on from generation to generation. Some things becomes a part of the tradition if it has some substance in it which enhances life and living. A tradition should be life conducive. Tradition is an inherited, established and a customary pattern of thought, action or behavior and passing of information from one generation to another with or without written instructions. It is a cultural continuity of social attitudes and customs in that particular community.
Any tradition should be measured by truth. The issue is not should we have tradition, but rather are the traditions rooted in truth, that is more important. Traditions can change, but truth never changes. Truth remains as truth. The characteristic of truth is it never changes. So following a tradition with truthful element in it will help you to undertake your journey of life is smooth and effortless manner and you will really enjoy life and the mysteries all along the way throughout your lifespan. Follow a tradition which is based on Truth.
Spirituality can be called as a path of truthful traditional practice which has been embraced by all kinds of people to discover themselves and know the mysteries of life and living and realize and understand what life is all about. Spirituality helps an individual to transform himself into a true human being by realizing his true potential and understanding his default program and align with the nature and live life effortlessly and gloriously with full of gratitude towards nature - The Prakrithi.
Celebrate life by realizing that you are a part and parcel of ongoing natural process in progression
