Banaras

Banaras

Have you ever visited Banaras Ghat? If so, you can appreciate why this location holds spiritual significance globally, particularly in India. 

A city of culture a city of death, a city of supreme spirituality, a city of Shiva, where India's most holy river is flowing. Just hold on, take off from your busy life for five-six days, go to Banaras Ghat, and just sit alone and feel the flow of your breath with Ganga water.

When you see the burning chita there, you realize once again for what reason we humans are fighting here: something that a human can find a reason to arrogance or just you need peace. I have heard a lot about this place, but as I am in this city, I can feel what this city is famous for. You will feel more alive and satisfied with yourself, whoever you are.

As humans, we are running for our daily needs to satisfy our loved ones, our family, and ourselves. From all these, you just need a break to live.

This is not about being irresponsible, but knowing your responsibility about yourself and your soul as well.

Chitta Ghat

In Hinduism, it is believed that cremation in banaras frees our soul from the cycle of reincarnation.

Although there are numerous ghats in Banaras, the most popular places for cremations are Manikarnika and Raja Harishchand ghats.

Hinduism acknowledges that a person's soul reincarnates after death. Also mentioned in the Bhagawad Geeta by Shri Krishna.

The issue now is not whether or not there is a soul; rather, it is that if you believe that you only have one life, which you know you are living, you need to take seriously the idea that you are living it fully.

Approximately 200 bodies are brought to Banaras Ghat every day for funeral ceremonies. Some are young, some are elderly, and they were the kind of people who had plans for the evening but were unable to fulfill them because they died in the morning.

Since Banaras is home to the god Shiva, the god of death, as well as the holy river Ganga, it follows that Banaras is a good place to live and also die.

Arrogance in Human

I'm not sure who these people are. You are desperate for their attention and respect, but you will suffer even more when the man who gave you flowers today starts stoning you tomorrow.

It is not that a human being is born with arrogance, but the more you achieve in your life something extraordinary, the more you find arrogance in you.

Human arrogance knows no bounds. Of the over 1.8 million species on Earth, humans are one of them, as Homo sapiens, but when you consider how much of the planet we occupy, we often forget that other species even exist.

But who has time to think? Just run. By the time we think all this nonsense, how many people will have gone ahead of us? So don't think too much; just run.
