Secret of Life-7

Ignorance

Ignorance in life is like a dark room. Whatever you
do in a dark room, results into a lot of damages and
breakages. Instead of trying to reorganize the room
and causing more damages and breakages, in the same
state of affairs, bringing in a little bit of light
will enable you to clean the room properly and prevent
further damages.

True Knowledge brings you that ray of light into a
dark room called ignorance. Darkness or ignorance is
infested with a lot of various Emotions as mentioned
before. Knowledge helps in removing these seven
negative emotions. Wisdom gets rid of your illusions.
Ignorance lies only in mind. It is not present in
man in physical state. It is a mist that envelops
man. The sunlight that is wisdom helps in removing
the mist.

There was a lady who was in great distress lamenting
about the loss of her necklace. She looked at every
corner of her house. Her husband returned home and
asked, "Then, what is there around your neck?" Then
she realized that the necklace was around her neck.
The necklace was with her, but it was lost, because
she thought it was lost. Therefore, the loss was
because of the state of her mind. The physical object
was not lost, but its presence was.

How to bring the light of wisdom?

You will bring light to a dark room, only when you
realize that it is dark. Similarly, you cannot gain
wisdom, unless you realize that there is ignorance in
you. Many people think that they possess all the
wisdom in the world. They will not be able to gain
wisdom, so long as they don't realize that they do not
possess it.

True knowledge is like physical exercise. Benefit of
the approach will not be visible immediately. The
benefits will sink in slowly and steadily, as wisdom
dawns on you. It provides inner growth and
development to relish life and the world.
