Highways and by lanes

Hello friends,

 today I wish to put before you some aspects of highways and by lanes in the journey of your lives.

Saint Thyagaraja  who was a great devotee of Lord Rama is considered to be one of the trinity of  classical music. The other two are shri Muthuswamy Dikshithar and Shyamashastri. All the three have composed many number of compositions  on Bhakthi, with meaningful themes.

 So saints have laid the path in high ways which takes us to  reach the Supreme.This has been very beautifully depicted in one of the compositions of St Thyagaraja, it goes like this' CHAKKANI RAJA MARGAMULUNDAGA SANDULA DOORA NELA MANASA', IN RAAGA  KHARAHARAPRIYA, meaning when there are royal roads and highways to  reach god , oh mind why are you opting for by lanes?

Highways pertains to the deep thinking, good attitude, faith, truthfulness,doing good deeds, helping the the needy and humbleness.by practicing these things one can surely   put oneself in the right highways.

 In the by-lanes there is a lot of congestion of traffic with jealousy, ego, selfishness, criticism, noise and all sorts of confusion, which is a hindrance to move forward and progress in life, here our minds gets confused to choose the way to travel and become helpless and suffer without knowing what to do.so friends let us all choose the highways which are broad and clean throughout rather than the by lanes to reach the ultimate.

Thank you for reading my blog.
