Lord Mahavira was ridiculed and tortured when he started spreading his message to the world. He was taunted - what a naked man is going to teach to the world. People saw his external nakedness, but could not see the naked truth hidden in his external nakedness which he wanted to dissipate for the welfare of humanity. Despite all these torture and harassment, he continued spreading the knowledge to the humanity what he had acquired in his deep meditation and stringent penance.
Lord Buddha was jeered and laughed, but he did not stop spreading the message and knowledge he had acquired in his deep meditation and penance.
Jesus Christ knew he would be killed if he was going to spread the message what he had acquired in his deep meditation. That was against the faith of many people of that time and beyond the understanding of the common mind. Despite that, he continued spreading his message and knowledge to the world for the welfare of humanity. Eventually, he was crucified, but his message, his idea and ideology are still alive.
Prophet Mohammad tried to spread the message and knowledge what he had got in his deep meditation in Hira cave through Archangel Gabriel. He was ignored. Many people stood against him. He was threatened. Murder attempts were done. He had to migrate from one place to another place to save his life. Later, his message was heard and understood, and those are still alive today.
The same happened with Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Swami Vivekananda, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and many other great people who tried to spread the great message for the entire humanity were joked, mocked, threatened and killed. But despite that, their teachings and ideology are still alive and inspiring and helping millions of people around the globe.
They did not have any personal motive behind that. They just heard their inner voice and without caring for what would happen to their mortal body, they started working by devoting their entire life force for that. They had reached the stage beyond the existence of the body of flesh and bone.
If you are attached to the temporary and transient – the property, wealth, money, popularity, body made of flesh and bone – you are going to die with it. The moment you lose your mortal body, all things will be left forever. You will be forgotten forever. The earth has witnessed many births and deaths. But very few people have become immortal on this planet by their deeds and are remembered forever.
If you become wise enough, you will enjoy this life in this body, if not, you will suffer here in this body and world and hereafter also. Everybody is born with a special purpose. Recognize that special purpose and put all your life force for that purpose. Live for that purpose and die for that purpose.
Remember- you may be mocked, jeered, isolated and threatened initially. Ready for that. And keep working for your purpose without caring for the temporary setbacks. Your dream, desire, passion all are the call of your spirit. You are going to listen to your spirit if you want to be happy and satisfied in this mortal world and remembered even after your death.
If you work merely for your body and satisfying for your senses, you are not going to be happy and content ever. You have got this body here for the temporary period, it is going to die. If you work for your spirit which is permanent through this particular body, you will be happy and content here and hereafter. You will be remembered and respected.
The great people always work for their spirit, they listen to that and fearlessly they dedicate their life for that without expecting anything in return. Due to this reason, people become great, and due to their greatness and deeds they are remembered and respected century after century. They leave their immortal footprint on this mortal planet.
The seed of greatness is hidden in everybody. Just start working for your spirit and passion without expecting anything from anyone in return. Just listen to your spirit, the inner voice and contribute to this world and humanity, you will get an immense happiness and content.
The people who have thought beyond the existence of the mortal body and material opulence and focused on immortal spirit dwelling in the cave of heart and listened to that and worked as per their spirit and passion they create history and are remembered forever. Everybody is born with a potential of becoming great. That depends what you hold and what you sacrifice.
