86. Where can you hide from God?
There is a very beautiful story you all would have read in school!
There was a guru who had ten disciples. There was one chief disciple: very brilliant and highly spiritual. So naturally the guru was giving more attention to that disciple. Soon the jealousy started among other disciples. All the other disciples wanted to somehow defame the chief disciple who was getting too much of the master's attention. Somehow they wanted to move him out of the master's attention.
The master also observed this. He observes everything, even though you think he sits with closed eyes! He observes all the absurdity which goes on when he is sitting with closed eyes - or when people think he is sitting with closed eyes!
One day, the guru wanted all the other disciples to know why he was giving more importance to the chief disciple; the sincere disciple. So he called everybody and gave them a small test. He gave each of them a banana, telling them to go and eat it in a place where nobody would see them; where they were not observed by anybody.
All the follows ran here and there. One ran behind the kitchen, one ran near the pond, one ran outside the gate, one went and hid in the temple. They all ate their bananas and came back - except the chief disciple. He came back with the banana, without eating it.
All the disciples asked, 'Why did you not find any place to eat your banana? The chief disciple just kept quiet.' Then the guru asked, 'Did you not find any place where nobody was observing you?' The disciple said very beautifully, 'Master, I am not able to find any place where God is not observing me, where God is not seeing me. I feel His presence everywhere.'
Understand: there is no shortcut to spirituality, to enlightenment! A clear, intense awareness has to imbibed in everything. You have to iron out your complete 24 hours with a clear understanding practicing the presence of God in your body, your mind and your actions.
