My friend , Nutsure Satwik , just posted this amazing capture of communication between ordinary types and Gods.
At a time, when allegiances to "Gods" change at the drop of a hat or a jingle in the pocket, there is much to learn from those in nature, who have not evolved , like us so called, advanced humans .
It isn't really about dealing with a power; It is about making a heartfelt simple offering .... no strings attached.

कितीतरी देव, कितीतरी भक्त ,
काही लांब पल्ल्याचे , काही तात्पुरते, काही शक्तीशाली प्रबळ , काही खास लोकाग्रहास्तव , काही स्वयंघोषित , काहींचे पायाशी लोटांगण , देण्या घेण्याचे हिशोब आणि नवस, आणि कान आणि डोळे बंद ठेवण्याची अद्भुत कला . आणि मग एका हिरवाईत आजच्या पर्यावरणात बुडलेला , फ़ळाफ़ुलात वसलेला , आजूबाजूच्या जगाचे निरीक्षण करणारा एक शेंदूर संपन्न बाप्पा , आणि स्वतह्साठी काहीही न मागता बाप्पाला द्यायचे ते गोडच असावे ह्यासाठी प्रत्येक अन्नाची चव घेउन , पूजा अर्पण करणारे शबरी पक्षी . ओरबाडून घेणार्याना , हे देणे कसे समजणार ? |
So many Gods, so many devotees , of so many persuasions. Some long term, some temporary, some raging strong some by popular demand, and some self appointed. Much falling at feet, strict accounting of give-and-take, sometimes mannats, and the amazing ability to keep ears and eyes conveniently shut. And then , somewhere deep in the greenery of life, reveling in the environment, flowering and fruiting, a vermilion deity watching it all go by; And to one side, a Shabri Bird, offering food to Him, as pooja, only after tasting it to confirm that it is sweet. Those that grab and collect will never understand , will they ? |
