THE RESTLESSNESS WITHIN

 THE RESTLESSNESS WITHIN

==========================

EVERYONE IN THE WORLD FINDS HIMSELF BY POSSESSED BY A RESTLESSNESS AT SOME TIME OR THE OTHER-- WHERE HE MUST DO SOMETHING NEW AND UNUSUAL.

ALL THIS STEMS FROM THE BASIC BELIEF THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER ON THE PLANET EARTH.

UNTIL THE TIME DEATH CATCHES UP WITH THEM IN SOME ACCIDENT, ILLNESS OR OLD AGE.

HH SHRI BABAJI MAHARAJ WAS IN THE LARGE AND SPACIOUS HOUSE OF A RICH MAN - A SETH.

WHEN THE SETH FOUND BABAJI SITTING CONFINED TO ONE ROOM AND NOT MOVING AROUND AT ALL HE SAID TO HIM:

" SIRE, HUZOOR ! WHY DONT YOU GO OUT FOR A WALK IN THE GARDEN? I GO THERE MYSELF EVERYDAY AND FEEL REFRESHED."

AND BABAJI REPLIED:

"I AM NOT SICK, ONLY THE SICK NEED THE WALK OF A GARDEN. YOU ARE SICK. BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE ALONE IN YOUR HOUSE YOU ARE POSSESSED BY A RESTLESSNESS THAT MAKES YOU GO OUT TO GET WELL!!"

"THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A THORN IN THE GARDENS OF THE WORLD,

YES, BUT THERE IS A GARDEN OF MY HEART WHICH CONTAINS NO THORNS,

I WALK IN THE SOLITUDE OF THAT GARDEN OF MY HEART!"

AND SHRI BABAJI ADDED :

"THIS HIDDEN RESTLESSNESS IN PEOPLE IS LIKE A SICKNESS, AND ALL ARE PREY TO IT.
