People's fun is in asking !
People's fun is in asking and actually they are not looking for serious answers !Some people move only with curiosity, just like small children asking while they are on a walk, "What is the name of this tree?" And if you don't reply, they immediately forget that they had asked anything and they start asking something else: "Why is this rock lying here?" They ask just for the sake of asking and not in order to know, understand and accept.
They do not ask in order to fully understand Sikhi or to accept 'Hukam', they ask because they cannot remain without asking. Those who are living out of curiosity are still childish. If you ask, "What is Bibek?" just as casually as a child would ask on seeing a toy shop on the road, "What is this toy?" you are still a child. And the child can be forgiven, but not you.
Curiosity will not do. Sikhi is not a child's play. Even if you are given a reply, it serves no purpose. The child's fun is in asking. He could ask, that is his fun. Even if you give him a reply he is not very interested in it. What is the matter?
In the path of Sikhi, if you are also asking just anything, saying just anything, thinking just anything without any deep desire to know -- only out of curiosity -- then you will still cremate some more Jeevan; then who knows how many more Jeevans will be gone !
Truth has no relationship to curiosity. Some people move a little ahead of curiosity and become inquisitive. There is a little more depth in inquisitiveness, but just a little more. Inquisitiveness is also not very deep, it is shallow as well, for it is only intellectual.
So the intellect goes on itching: Is there anything in Sikhi?
Is there any use of Amritvela ? -- not that you want to practice it.
Is there any benefit of Bibek ? -- not that you want to keep it.
Is there any Dasam Duar? -- not that you want to reach it.
What is use of Hukam? -- not that you want to follow it.
Who is God? -- not that you want to know it, but just for discussion, just for conversation.... It is a mental exercise, an intellectual entertainment. So people only talk big, they never stake anything.
Sikhi is not a seasonal flower, which within six weeks is there. It is a very very big tree. It needs time to spread its roots. You have to give yourself a chance.
