The Cave Of Wisdom (Part Three)

By Rajesh Nanoo

This Book is the Eversion of my paperback book The Cave Of Wisdom. The paperback book has 725 pages, so I have decided to make this Eversion in three parts for easy reading. This book is the Third version. It contains the mystical (84) stories said by various masters like Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharishi, Zen and Tao Masters. The book also contains many Upanishad mantras translated by the author. Since the principal ideologies are discussed in detail in the previous two books, I tried to use an equation style than elaborating them in this book. The stories are placed in order starting from origin of the world, main concepts, way to truth, qualities of Master, and discipline of the disciple.

Tao Of Truth

Learning by observing

Human beings are made and molded in an intellectual way. Firstly, they where graced with a special faculty, it is the quest 'to know'. From this quest comes wisdom, which is the second special faculty. Wisdom is stored in their own heart, which often referred as cave by the seers. Thus wisdom lies in the intellectual cave of human being. Due to these special faculties human beings can be elated to the lofty level, which is the highest manifested state of beings that is of Guru (Master).

Spirituality is the colossal power behind this smooth transition. In this transition the individual becomes a Guru for other beings as well as for himself. Spirituality in the final stage makes everyone fit to be Guru. They should gain the ability to be independent and become their own guiding light in their ongoing spiritual pursuit. This independency alone is maturity and ascending quality, everything else is degradation. It means that, if individuals did not become their own master then they are fit to be tagged as advanced souls.

How can the individual be a guiding light for himself, is the main question. The nature around him contains all the truth, which he has to know. But this truth is manifested in a subtle form, so the individuals have to seek it in a subtle way than trying to understand it through the peripheral faculties (senses and mind). An ordinary mind cannot grasp the truth from nature that is why science never comprehends it. When mind gives up every other faculty (like equipment’s, references, books, people etc.) and become subtle then nature opens up its wisdom treasure in front of him. His super sensuous perception makes him see through the truth behind the nature walls. As a result he grasps everything that is to be grasped, everything that is to be known so that there is nothing more remained to 'know'.

The path to be a guiding light for themselves, is by becoming a student forever. The nature around us is the external nature of the Self, which is sprouted from the internal nature of the Self that resides in the wisdom cave of heart. When the individual get mingled with nature around him, his internal nature bestows the wisdom that remained under cover in the behavior of that particular nature. In another way, by each incidents or occasions, by each persons and beings the individual learns insightful lessons. For him every instance in life is a new chapter for learning.

Experience is the thread that connects him to wisdom. For this thing to happen, the individual should posses the capacity to open his internal power. It is due to this internal power he can read from every incident in a way infinitely far more than information supplied by senses and mind. This abstract reading or grasping is wisdom. Wisdom abstractly unfolds its nature to individual because wisdom already lies within in a secret cave. External happenings or occurrences act as suggestions so it triggers the inner power to open itself and read rightly from it. When the indication is rightly read then a precious lesson can be learned from the behavior of nature. The more the individual reads in this abstract way the more saint they become.

From among the innumerous nature of Universe that holds the secret codes for learning, 25 instances are highlighted in the ancient Indian spiritual literature Bhagavata. In the tale, the seer Dattaterya narrates to king who visited him in the forest where he abodes about the way in which Dattaterya comprehended the truth. It was the nature that taught Dattaterya these lessons so he revers each of them as his guru. They have not taught him anything through a gross media; on the contrary he learned the lessons subtly by observing 25 instances. Each of these instances became his preceptors.

Seer Dattaterya said to the King Yadu "I have accepted many gurus intellectually. I roam around happily after grasping wisdom from these preceptors. I will tell you about them, hear it from me. My 24 preceptors are: Earth, Air, Sky, Water, Fire, Moon, Sun, Pigeon, Python, Ocean, Moth, Bee, Elephant, Honey Collector, Deer, Fish, Prostitute, Vulture, Child, Maiden, Hunter, Snake, Spider and Wasp. From their behavior I have comprehend the wisdom that I want. Knowing the nature of human body and insights received from 24 preceptors, I (Dattaterya) roam freely in earth without attachment or false ego".
