There is one straight Highway to God. We are traveling in a vehicle. There is a driver to the vehicle. All along this highway there are many bylanes, shopping malls and coffee shops and other various distractions. We every now and then visit one of these shopping malls, coffee shops or the bylanes for some purpose. But soon we get addicted to these bylanes and forget that we were actually traversing on the highway. The driver has to patiently wait for us. The driver constantly reminds that our fuel is running out so do not make any trips to these bylanes. If the fuel gets exhausted then we won’t be able to reac hour destination.
HighWay To God
We are the souls and God is the driver. All the bylanes are our desires, attachments and duties. We know that we have to do our duty for duty’s sake and keep moving. But we fall in the trap and get so attached to the duties that we take a lot of time in the bylanes and forget that we have to go actually on the highway.
The fuel in the vehicle is time. The more time we waste in the attachments the lesser time we have to devote for God.
Even while doing service we make the mistake of getting attached to it. Service is just a signpost to God. By clinging on to this signpost we cannot reach God. Every time we emerge out of the lane our Driver, God waits patiently and asks, “Is your work over can we proceed now?”
Many a times when we would have been in our classrooms we would have been talking our chatting with our friends around. Then the teacher waits for us and tells, “If you have finished your chatting may I proceed?”
Only once all the unwanted things in our mind subside can we establish communication with God. So please travel on the Highway and keep the bigger picture in mind.
Love
CELESTIAL CITIZEN
