The greatness to bow down.


Bowing down to our elders is one of the oldest traditions of India for ages. Many of us are also following in recent advanced time also. We can bow down easily to the person to whom we believe, but to bow down against every elder sometimes confuse us. The greatness of the supreme personality of Godhead is always being honored by everyone. Whenever we face any such demigod personality of any religions, our heads automatically bend down. It does not mean God always want us to see as bow down head, but this is the end level honor which he simply deserves. The creator of the entire world, entire universe and every visible and non visible substance; and these all are for us only. And does he ever charge anything to anyone? Because he does not believe that we are consumer of the nature made by him. He just believes us as his great friends. Even term friend is also very little, because he is everything for us and for that only ‘God’ name suffices.

While bowing down to others, we can feel the great feelings ourselves as little one in this wide world. To grasp the supreme knowledge of salvation it is mandatory to keep opened our all doors for it. It is a great way to learn anything in this world by being little only. Those who are elder by proud cannot get anything. A simple thing we can understand that when we were children in this world, our parents would be everything for us. No one would be bigger then they and we simply obey them for everything. At that time, we can simply bow down to them and can grasp many things. A children can grasp 100 times more rapidly then any other elders. Why? Because, they have the sincerity to bow down to the greatness of their parents. After being elder, we all start ignoring our parents, disguising many things from them, luring against them and by doing these all simply we are disobeying them. We do not have that sincerity of bowing down which we had in childhood. The result is our knowledge grasping capacity is near to zero. Other way, we can say that we are just grasping money matters; not any spiritual stuffs. Our confidence looses gradually for existence of real God. We mix with other blind people of the world who cannot think even just for single time for God in 24 hours of day. We start believing that we have achieved many things, many big degrees, and much wealth, more respect and society credits. However we are still looser in terms of getting the real wealth of the supreme knowledge of salvation. We are still far away from the supreme personality of God. Our littleness is lost somewhere and we have lost the sincerity to bow down. We have lost ultimately everything at the end of the breath of our life. To avoid this, God suggests us to follow this best schema to bow down all. Even when God incarnates in the earth, he also follows this sincerity to bow down. He simply does not require bowing down anyone; still he follows to teach us.

Bowing down is also one of the auto etiquettes of the steadfast persons. Those who learn to be little by bowing down to everyone can one day be the biggest one than all. By devoting to God, by assuming God’s existence in everyone’s hearts, one can bow down to everyone and that way those little ones are much closed to the real big stuff of this universe.
