Feeling Thy
Radiance
Feeling
the radiant light glow within, liberating me from the darkness of ignorance
through the radiance of knowledge
As human beings, we have come a long way from
the cavemen we were to what we are today. While all other creations have shown
only marginal evolution through these centuries of living, human progress has
been dramatic. Who made this possible? The teachers! You may say - the
thinkers! But then, who have been the link between those thinkers, and you and
me? Again, the teachers! Who have been the connecting thread to the wisdom of
every age? The teachers! Who have been the cultural bridge from one generation to
another? The teachers! Who have been responsible for the flow of language and
communication across culture and civilisation? The teachers! How did the
prophecies of enlightened masters, the logic of the mathematicians, the
discoveries and inventions of the scientists, the thoughts and ideas of the
philosophers, the history of the history makers, etc., reach the common man?
Only through teachers!
Teachers are not just those who teach in
schools and colleges but anyone who has played a part in altering the state of
your mind and heart, and thus your life. It could be your parents from whom you
inherited the basics of life. Parents help you to move from nothing to
something. Their contribution in your life is equivalent to transforming zero
into one, which is infinite transformation. It could be your friends from whom
you imbibed your attitudes and character; it could be your professional mentors
who shaped your competence; it could be your trainers who developed your skill
sets; it could be your school and college teachers who groomed your knowledge;
it could be your Guru through whom you had your spiritual initiation; why, it
could even be a child who has impacted you in ways no other has. Anyone, who
removes the darkness and delusion from your heart and mind by illuminating you
with the radiance of higher wisdom is a teacher. A teacher is a Cosmic radiance
in human form.
And, a teacher is a Cosmic gift in your life.
A teacher is a Cosmic representation in your life. A teacher is His
representation, present in your life at that point of time, by His will and His
grace. Feeling thy radiance in the infiniprayer is your way of expressing your
gratitude to that Cosmic source, for touching your life through a chosen
instrument called teacher.
Ingratitude to the source of knowledge makes
that knowledge useless. You may know it, you may understand it, you might have
even mastered it, but that knowledge will not help you when you need it the
most, if you are not grateful to that source of knowledge. Remember, what the source
of knowledge means to you makes no difference to the source of knowledge; but,
it makes all the difference to you. The heart of a seeker towards his teacher
is more important than the heart of a teacher towards his seeker. The blessing
of your teacher unto you is more dependent on how you see your teacher, rather
than how your teacher sees you.
Hence, we sing Feeling thy radiance in the
infiniprayer, to express our gratitude to that radiant presence in our life,
for bringing a teacher into our life at that point of time and thus liberating
us from the darkness of ignorance through the radiance of knowledge.
So the third line in the infiniprayer - Feeling Thy radiance.
