There is no
scar on the sky, though clouds, stars, the sun and the moon all appear to
streak across it. So too let a thousand ideas streak across the mind, ensure
that your mind remains unaffected and serene. Get firm in mind; then, your
reason also will not deviate. Without that equanimity or shanthi, you can get
no soukhyam (happiness). Saint Kabir had no food for three days – but he
thanked God for giving him the coveted chance of observing a ritual fast. The
great devotee of Rama, Saint Ramadas was confined in prison – and he thanked
God that he got a place where he could meditate on Him without disturbances.
Such is the attitude of the saintly, those who are the beloved of the Lord.
Tidak ada goresan/bekas luka di langit, meskipun awan,
bintang, matahari dan bulan semua tampak melintas di atasnya. Demikian juga meskipun
ada ribuan ide melintas di pikiran, pastikan pikiranmu tetap tidak terpengaruh
dan tenang. Kuatkan pikiranmu, maka engkau tidak akan menyimpang. Tanpa kedamaian/ketenangan
hati atau Shanthi, engkau tidak bisa mendapatkan soukhyam (kebahagiaan). Saint
Kabir tidak memiliki makanan selama tiga hari - tetapi ia berterima kasih pada Tuhan
yang telah memberinya kesempatan untuk melaksanakan ritual berpuasa. Bhakta Sri
Rama, Saint Ramadas dikurung di penjara - dan dia bersyukur kepada Tuhan bahwa
ia mendapat tempat di mana dia bisa bermeditasi pada-Nya tanpa gangguan. Demikianlah
sikap suci, mereka yang mencintai Tuhan.
