Buddha quotes & Buddhism
abandonment of home
Siddhartha thought of taking Parivrajya from Bhardwaj as Bhardwaj's ashram was in Kapilavastu so the next day he rode his beloved horse Kanthak and took his favorite servant Chanan with him.
As he approached the hermitage, many men and women came out in a crowd at the door to meet him, as if they had come to see a newly arrived bridegroom.
And when he came near him, he looked at him in surprise and bowed to him with folded hands like a lotus.
They stood around him. His cremation became dear. As if they were overflowing with love, but praying to Him with fixed eyes
Some women felt that he was actually an incarnation of Cupid because he was always adorned with such beautiful features
Seeing its softness and magnificence, some people felt that the moon, full of its divine rays, had really come down to earth.
The others yawned at her beauty as if they were swallowing her, and looked at each other and sighed.
In this way the women were watching him. No words came out of his mouth and no smile on his face as they stood around him in a stupefied state, pondering over his decision to take the Parivraj.
With great difficulty he saved himself from that crowd.
Entered the door of the ashram
Siddhartha did not like Suddhodana and Prajapati Gautami to be present when they were taking parivrajya because he knew that she would not be able to stop herself from suffering; But she had reached this ashram before them.
As he entered the premises of the ashram, he saw his parents in the crowd.
Seeing his parents, he first approached them and took their blessings. His emotions were so intense that not a word came out of his mouth. He wept and embraced him and bathed him in his tears.
Channa had tied Kanthak to a tree in the ashram and seeing Suddhodana standing there and Prajapati crying, he too was overwhelmed and started crying.
Jast as a candle cannot burn without fire, in the same way man cannot live without spritual life...
Jis tarh mombatti bina aag ke nahi jal sakti usi tarh manush bina adhyatmik jivan ke bina ji nahi sakta...
