Young Monk: Only when hunger is fed, does he look for God and divinity.


Thirsty dweller: But when he is hungry then only he opts for God/divinity to satiate his hunger right?


Young Monk: One must have minimal comforts in order to think and prosper about divinity and god.


Thirsty dweller: If you considered that minimal comforts open the doors to divinity?


Then what for more comfort do they opt god and divinity?


There was also a saying that after getting comforts no need for religion and the Nation.


Young Monk: This is rational...


Thirsty dweller: I am not pessimistic. But tell me for what one should opt for GOD or Divinity or either dwell in spirituality?


Was it for more comforts? For a better life? For a berth in heaven? For knowledge?


Consider RAMA and RAVAAN both are considered as Gods in my regard, but...


Young Monk: This is insane.


Thirsty dweller: Wait Babaji! Let me finish.


Consider RAMA and RAVAAN both are considered as Gods in my regard, but the paths they took differed in their part of the story and termed as how they were today. But look at both the terms.


Put RAMA aside for a while, since we all taught and know that he is a great and a good human being.


RAVANA has innumerable bad qualities and many backdrops, but consider this,


Since he has bad intentions and is involved in it, today he set an example that though the person having enormous power and knowledge with bad intentions is of nothing. The one who taught us is also almighty, Isn't it?


In fact, due to his evil character, attracted all the demons and specifically build a nation for them in those times, which made it easy for RAMA to destroy all at once Isn't it?


Young Monk: So, what are you trying to say?


Thirsty dweller: Why do pray to GOD or why do you incline to divinity?


Young Monk: I offer my prayers to the Divine power. It's the ultimate power I pray for.


Thirsty dweller: Is it So... The Same power is equally distributed to DEMONS as well!


The Same Power had in both RAMA and RAVANA.


RAMA is a Human being (though often mentioned) as an incarnation of GOD.


But tell me one thing do they both have the same power or not?


In fact, the RAVANA has more power when compared to RAMA. Isn't it?


Young Monk: Idiots like you destroy the world.


Thirsty dweller: Please Babaji, let me finish.


Young Monk: Carry on, Even a fool preaches...


Thirsty dweller: Exactly, but not preaches. A fool too teaches something that one doesn't want to do. In that way, even he is helpful.


See! RAVANA taught us how not to be. Forget RAVAAN for a while.


How mortal RAMA became GOD. It's because of the knowledge that made him take the right decisions.


That knowledge made him a god. Only the one who preaches knowledge and controls the power on its whips is a god.


All the teachers are gods. That's the reason Krishna a mortal being became 'Lord Krishna', the GOD.


Young Monk: Finally, what do you want to say?


Thirsty dweller: It's the Knowledge that drives the Supreme Power. Power is not stable, even the sun, the moon, and even the Brahma perish one day.


But the knowledge won't perish, the one who attained that knowledge occupies those spaces and becomes the next Brahma or so...


So, it's the knowledge we are opting for. Not the GOD or divinity.


We look into the one(god) or someone who teaches the knowledge.


That's why every eternal student and a teacher himself is a GOD.


Even the hunger is fed, in your terms, if they look for god, they look for the commodity behind the divinity like the place in heaven or some other.


If that hunger is not fed, they look for God to feed their hunger.


Both the terms are utterly useless.


The one who is in search of Divine knowledge to control the powers that too in a righteous way is the real seeker.


That is what hunger, thirst is...


Exactly that is what is needed, luckily those who were in Sadhu attire, though in air-conditioned and sophisticated rooms are also seeking that Divine knowledge and teaching the sayings of teachers like RAMA, Krishna, etc...


Young Monk: Knowledge is Brahma. Yes, we do look into the knowledge interspersed by the godly men.


But when do they opt for it?


Yeah! I agree, it's two-sided. No, it's a multi-dimensional thought process.


As you said they might get sidetracked after being fed. But that is not the purpose of Moksha.


Thirsty dweller: If the divine knowledge attained by Moksha opts for the righteous cause to sacrifice and serve as "DADICHI"( the one who sacrificed himself for Vajra Aayudha)?


Will you do that? Or wants to enjoy Indra Loka by attaining Moksha?


Which sort of Moksha do you opt for?


Attaining divine Knowledge includes facing the challenges, not the supremacy.


If you think that GOD attained supremacy, then you are completely wrong.


It's just a higher level duty opted oneself by attaining the right knowledge and committing to offer the same as per the knowledge rendered.


Young Monk: Is this what your Hunger & thirst are?


But for that you need to opt for a good teacher, In this melancholic world can you get a Teacher like 'Viswamithra'?


Thirsty dweller: Swamiji, Are you asking me, why can't you be my guru?


Considering the fact, that right knowledge also provides self-restraint, from being a king even.


Yes, Bharatha being potential, opted for RAMA (the one better than him) to be the King. Just because of his divine knowledge.


Young Monk: Finally, to satiate your hunger & thirst need an eternal student cum teacher alive on this mother Earth.


All the best!! Hope you will find him soon.


Thirsty dweller: Trying my best to search inside.


Young Monk: Atman is the best teacher and if not when looks into it and dwells deep it will showcase the path to a right Teacher. All the best!!!


Thirsty dweller: Thank you, Monk.
