Many times, the word sage is confused synonymously to the word saint or Muni.An expert person who
Provides future forecasts through supernatural insight is called a saint.;a saint is a siddha purush with highly evolved insight. Having mastered the art of living pure, a sage may change to a saint.
How a yogi behaves sagely?
A yogi, whose actions are free from selfish motives, whose actions are burnt by the fire of knowledge , changes to a Sage. A sage does not live away from the world, a sage does not live secluded. He lives in the midst of all worldly things without been influenced by them,
resembling a Lotus Flower which lives in mud, untouched by its dirt.
The same is explained in GnAnakarmasanyasa yoga, in this verse.......
Brahmanyaghaya karmani sangam Thyakthva karothiyaha
Lipyathe na sap apnea padmapatra mivabhyasa
The actions of a sage are all selfless and designed for the welfare of co beings. Never a sage
Works anything with worldly attachment. He dedicates his wisdom for a Good cause.
The selfless actions clean the sins of sage's Mind. Pure mind treasures Godlyness, with all positive qualities .
Kayenamanasa budhyaha kEvaleirindriyeirapi
Yoginaha karmakurveiti saga thyakthvathma siddha yet
A sage yogi does all his jobs with a detached Mind set, only as a matter of fact, not associated to the results. Physically, intellectually, mentally he works for the good being of humanity,
by relinquishing the fruits of his actions. This selfless attitude is what tranforms a yogi to a Sage. Sri Sri Vivekananda swami preached the same as, " do not leave the world, leave the selfishness , to become a sage".The happyness of self free actions can never match any other
Actions.
Even amidst thousand people one can very easily spot out a sage . The presence of a sage can not be ignored. Why? What makes a sage different from others?.
A serene face, a silent radiation of thoughts, a cheerful face, soft speech, simplicity in attaire,
a poised behaviour, a soothening expression, an over all attractive compassionate personality (irrespective of beauty ).etc...are the special features of a sage, which discriminate him from the ordinary.
These personality features are not actable, or pretendable. They develop naturally when anyone transforming to Sagic Person gradually.
Free from fear, anger, greed, croockedness, selfishness etc etc a sage evolves to a Devine natured person. Washes away all bad in him, becomes spiritual in nature.
A sage attains Samadristi (equanimity ) towards a friend and foe, happyness and sorrow, pride
And deride, rich and poor. .....so on and so forth.
A peaceful mind is a reflection of a Sage. He radiates the same to all around him.
This is what happened with Buddha, mahatma Gandhi, Vivekananda , Sri Ramakrishnaparamahamsa, Sri Sankaracharya etc etc. to quote so many. It is our fortune, our
Country gave us so many sages to educate us in spiritual lines.
If followed their path, anybody can transform to a sage and enjoy their given life peacefully
And completely .
Face the life like a sage, feel the greatness of it.
Om tat sat
