There is an eternal connectivity between expectation and seeking. Expectation always generates a profit motive in every human psyche and slowly kills the true beauty of both inner and the outer bliss of life.
Why we are seeking is more important than how we are seeking because one cannot attain the highest state of bliss if he or she seeks to attain. According to nature, one cannot eliminate any good or bad aspects of the mind by applying a force. It must exhaust automatically without any mental effort. For the healthy and enlightened spiritual life what we need is a cause. When there is a cause naturally every minute aspects of both the inner and the outer will fall into place without any mental effort, but one cannot seek cause.
When one’s inner energy moves towards the highest state of transformation, mind is provoking for heavenly or material action. But in this state inaction is a spiritual need. If one remains in the zone of inaction, transformation will become the act of refinement where moment-to-moment one will witness a powerful spiritual excellence from infinite to infinite. In this moving state, most of the time we may agree or disagree, accept or reject our own earlier declarations. So, till one attains the ultimate spiritual excellence; there is a need to diligently observe the inner as well as the outer movement of the self as an outsider. Our duty is to declare an unconditional submission and to watch the inner and the outer vibrations with an intensive care. In this state, there is a need to learn, not to preach.
2500 years ago, the Prince Gauthama (Buddha) seeks for enlightenment in the forest along with his colleagues for eight years. Finally he becomes like a skeleton. His colleagues who used call him as a master in the beginning were leaving Gauthama alone in the forest and continuing their journey separately. They were thinking that Gauthama would never attain Buddha or the state of enlightenment.
Gauthama was alone in the forest; but he experienced not loneliness, but the solitude. He was searching, seeking, praying, doing meditation and finally one day he reached near the Bodhi tree (now that tree exists in Bodh-Gaya) and sat under the tree. According to Gauthama’s own declaration, under the Bodhi-tree suddenly his mind came out from the all forms of expectation and seeking. This has happened automatically without any mental effort. When his mind quit seeking, he witnessed miracle within his organisms. He was enlightened and attained the state of Buddha who becomes one of the spiritual wonders in the world.
After Sri Krishna, it is the Prince Gauthama who attains the same state of enlightenment. 5000 years ago, Sage Vyasa and Sri Krishna predicted the raise of Buddha’s energy in the revealed book “Bhavishya Maha Puranam” and “The Srimad Bhagavata”. According to these revealed books, Buddha is the Ninth energetic continuation of the Lord Vishnu
