Let's learn some lessons from train travel
1) *There is a Train driver*- we understand the simple fact if the train is moving means there must be a engine and a train driver although one can't see both if he is in coach. Similarly nature is working so in amazing way, although we can't see God but we must know he is there.
2)*Faith in driver*- one must have faith that this driver will make my journey happy, in spirituality also one must have faith in God as everyone's well wishing friend.
3)*Various passengers will get down*- when stations come passengers get down some get in, likewise in our life too many will leave us and many will join us, also remember we also have to get down(die) on day.
4)*Stations are coming according to schedules*- many times schedule is posted near coach door, and one can conform from that train is going on right way or wrong. Similarly scriptures have given us the whole path of spiritual life, first station is sradhha then next sadhusanga and last station is Prema, one can observe own life and see are these stages coming or not and get confirmation of right path.
5)*Don't get allured*- many times it happens that copassangers give some alluring food stuff to each which is mixed with drug which makes people unconscious,then they loot them. Similarly maya will show some allurements of sense enjoyment that will only make us unconscious in Bhakti.
6)*Train will stop due to signals*- if train stops don't change the train be there you will reach, many times in Bhakti also so many hurdles will comes
but continue spiritual practices, signals are there only for sometime.
7)*Scenic places will come but don't get Down*- some places will look attractive but we don't go there, in our path of spirituality also things like name, fame and prosperity will come which is not our aim but looks attractive. Don't get allured by them, continue your path.
8)*Travelling may be miserable*- long travels are uncomfortable but remember our loving home with parents awaiting us, that will make journey hopeful. Spiritual life may also be felt like full of austerities but know that unlimited happiness is awaiting for us with our eternal parents.
9)*Train doesn't discriminate*- there may be discrimination in coaches as general class, sleeper class or air conditioned class, but everyone reaches same destination if they stick to train. Similarly poor, rich, everyone can attain goal of human life if they practice spirituality seriously.
10)*Train always runs on tracks*- train doesn't say, 'see that motor bike on road, it can go in any way, why I should only follow my ways' but biker can't go long and with high speed of train . Similarly those who want to go long and high must follow rules and regulations.
