Eyes of the Orion

How does a realized person see the world, I wonder. 

For him there is nothing like a nation. No piece of land stands up and shouts "I am UK/India/China/US". To the wise nations are nothing but political entities. Lines drawn by men on earth to monopolize resources, impose order and live in a particular way. 

For him there is no religion. He sees spirituality and goodness as guiding lights. To him the quest for God is entirely personal. Dogmatic, rigid, ritualized, bigotted, fanatic, violent search for God is not his way. His religion is of humanity alone and his search for God is tolerant, rational, peaceful and flexible.

For him there is no society. His travels and experience have shown him that what is a taboo in one society is normal in other. There is a thin line between righteousness and prejudice, virtue and bigotry. People wishing to control other people are alien to him as he believes in responsible freedom. He respects the rules of the society in which he lives as he sees their value in keeping some kind of order. However he does not let it shackle his mind in form of taboos and rigidity.

He is humble and does not believe he knows everything. This humility helps him to progress and learn with each passing day. He lives his life with honour and is not bound by anything except the right action in the present moment.

He does not use arrogance, bigotry, dogma, religion, nationalism or fanaticism to guide him or people around him. He has no reason to fight as he has found peace in his heart but knows how to defend himself. He wishes to bring this peace to the people who want it and knows that everybody takes their time.

He know his kind is very less on this planet and it seems that the numbers are dwindling fast. Yet he beleives that God has a plan for everybody and there is no reson to despair. So he moves happily through the world with a song on his lips and a prayer in his heart for he sees the world the way he sees it. 

He has the eyes of the Orion.
