Namaste ( Nah - mas - tay)
My soul honours your soul. I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honour the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you. Because it is also within me. In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one.
A simple greeting which has such a deep and profound meaning. This is the hindu way of greeting anyone. ( be it family, friends, colleagues, enemies or strangers)
What i learn from Namaste
We are all equal : When i bow down with folded hands and greet the one in front of me, i am bowing to the divine soul in front of me. There is no cast, race, religion, language but a boundary less world in which we are connected to each other through the energy which resides in us. Our souls are connected on a higher level and we need to understand that we all are equal on spiritual plane.
Unfortunately we have created walls of race, religion, language, culture to define ourselves. This makes me realise that while we have become more technologically advanced species we have also created more walls for us to be safe in our own little world. How lonely we all must feel in these walls.
Respect for each other : With folded hands greeting the one in front on me i am showing respect and love for the person. I am not better than the one in front of me. Everyone has a purpose and meaning to be alive in this world. I bow down to you and respect you for who you are.
This makes me realise that as we advance our knowledge we would have developed more compassion and respect for everyone and for the planet. But when i look around i see technologically advance species which have "D -evolved' if there was such a word from compassion and love to indifference and violence. We have no respect for anyone other than to meet our greedy devious means to survive.
Peace and harmony : There is peace around and within me. I bow down to the peace and harmony which we all bring together as we greet each other.
Strangely the world we live in now its a long shot for all of us to live together in peace and harmony till the time we don't make love and compassion our way of life.
Let go of EGO : In this simple greeting we bring our ego down and bow to the divine soul in front of us. This divine soul is none other than another human being. Letting go of our EGO is one of the most difficult emotion which we find to let go.
Simplicity : I bow to the simplicity which you have inside you. We are mirrors to each other and this simplicity binds us in being human.
A simple greeting with such deep meaning, i am amazed at the culture and knowledge which ancients had. Maybe someday the true meaning of Namaste will dawn upon us and probably one day we will go back to our roots to create peace and harmony.
Namah Astu Te .... I bow to you
