This brainwave of a matrix came to me this morning. We can either accept, reject or choose Life. We can accept, reject or choose God. By Life I mean all that we see around us and all that happens to us. By God I mean the supreme Truth or Being experiencing which symbolises the ultimate experience of liberation.
Whereas accepting and rejecting are obvious terms, choosing means making it the basic driving force of our life. Choosing means pursuing and prioritising that choice always.
So the nine types are:
Bhogi- he rejects God and Chooses Life.
Rogi- he rejects Life, he rejects God.
Humanist- he rejects God and accepts Life.
Dharmi- he accepts God and pursues Life.
Tyagi - he rejects Life and accepts God.
Bairagi- he rejects Life and chooses God.
Yogi- he accepts life and chooses God.
Buddha- he accepts Life, he accepts God. He is choiceless.
Sadguru- he chooses Life, he chooses God. He lives amidst everything and integrates Life and God.
There are many states from Rogi to Sadguru. One can be pro Life and be a humanist. One can be rooted in righteousness and be a Dharmi. One can be a renunciate, Tyagi. One can move from that position towards God as a Bairagi. He can become a Buddha.
