Rishis, Sages or
intellectual people of the past are depicted with simple clothes without any
crown or jewelry or makeup. Some carry just one piece of clothe on their body.
They carry very less luggage with them. They do not believe in possessing the
material stuffs. However, even in this material world, they are highly revered.
Why so…???
They are revered, not because
of their material wealth, but because of their wealth of wisdom they have.
Their knowledge and wisdom is their real crown. The aura in their image is the
sign of their enlightenment. Their illuminating face is as radiant as jewelry.
They do not need to
carry any luggage, their knowledge and wisdom are their luggage, wherever, they
go they carry their knowledge and wisdom. Unnecessary, they don't burden
themselves with unnecessary decaying worldly stuffs which exhaust the journey
of life.
The wealth of knowledge
and wisdom never decay and exhaust. The light of their knowledge and wisdom illuminates
the world, even after the death of their physical body. That is why, we say enlightened
beings do not die, they remain immortal. Whenever we talk about those people,
we do not talk about the construct of their body rather the content of
knowledge and wisdom they shed out to the world for its betterment.
Their recognition is not
because of their physical appearance, rather because of their content of
character and wealth of wisdom.
Less clothes indicate
that they are so true and pure that there is nothing to be hid. They are equal
from both inside and outside.
