एकै साधे सब सधै, सब साधै सब जाय।रहिमन मूलहिं सींचिबो, फूलै फलै अघाय॥
Is it okay to chase multiple goals at once in this modern, restless lifestyle, or is it better to focus on one thing deeply?
This feverish fast-paced hyperactivity of our modern times, whatever its outer reasons (and there are quite a few) is because evolution has been put in a fast forward mode by the New Consciousness working upon earth since the previous century. It has stimulated the mental energies in man to explore new possibilities in its own sphere through technological advancement. It has stimulated the vital energies in man by providing a whole range of vital experiences. It has even given a stimulus to the body to new challenges and lifestyles. But most of all it has accelerated the slow and nascent spiritual evolution by awakening a new aspiration within mankind to go beyond limited cults and sectarian beliefs and outdated religious practices towards a wide spiritual ground. Of course all this is happening in different degress in different human beings depending upon their inner readiness and the resistances in their nature. It is like the different stages of the child developing in the womb leading to the labour pains of a new birth.
The saying of Rahim always holds true. Brahman or the ultimate Reality is indeed described as ‘knowing which all else can be known.’
The goal should be always one since it requires a great focus to go deep into it. But the goal itself should be wide enough to integrate as many elements of life as possible and allow one to approach it from and through as many aspects of life and activities as possible.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
