Why I feel grateful to the blessed one!

Article summary

Maybe you are a person who believes in emptiness and believes even Samma Sambuddha also empty and nothing is worthy of worship. Maybe you are a person who doesn’t believe in being grateful or thankful… Maybe you are a person who doesn’t believe in anything… Well! You don’t have to. But I believe, if you are a person with wisdom… you could understand this situation described below. And all the described feelings relate to the scenario.

Imagine you are lost in a dark scary forest...

All alone with misleading voices...

Dark shadows guiding you deeper into a trap...

You are unknowingly walking towards the danger...

You are about to lose your life...

But you don't have a clue about it...

You just walk & walk... And keep walking...

And suddenly...

Just right before you lose your life...

Just right before you fell into the trap...

You get help from an unknown person...

You are finally supported... You are finally saved...

You are finally aware of the risk & dangers you were going through...

And of course, you were about to face...

Everything clear... With the support of the new person you met...

How grateful you will be to this being?

Will you forget him?

Will you treat him as a danger too?

Will you scared for him?

Will you run away from him?

Don't you feel like repaying him from whatever possible manner?

Don't you remember him with a huge thank & gratitude in your heart?

If you come across a look alike to him or if you come across a picture of him, don't you feel the same thankfulness & gratefulness for saving you?

Exactly! Exactly the same feeling... And of course, bit more...

You feel towards the blessed one...

The great Samma Sambuddha, when you realized what the blessed one showed us...

The risk we have never aware of...

The danger we have never seen...

The trap we never felt that we are caught in...

The dark, scary forest which we were all alone...

The misguided voices and dark shadows around us...

Everything revealed... Every puzzle we had solved...

The greatest support ever...

Unseen... Unheard... Unrealized truth of our own self and everything else...

This is what the blessed one offered us...

When you know this... You just know...

And you can't stop feeling grateful...

You simply can't stop yourself for being grateful & thankful towards to the one who simply saved you from the greatest ever risk & danger...

You simply can't erase the support you got...

This is why I bow to the blessed one!

This is the reason behind all those offering towards to the noblest one!

Those who felt saved, they offer... They worship... They are simply being grateful and thankful...

They simply show their gratitude towards the greatest Savior who taught us to become our own saviors just by showing the ultimate truth!

If you want, you can laugh at these actions…

If you like you can make fun of these people…

If you want, you can criticize all these…

But just ONLY till the moment you feel the same…

I guarantee, you will start behaving the same as soon as you have found the exact true path of true enlightenment which only a great Samma Sambuddha show!
