Today, I'll share a beautiful story told by one of the greatest sages of India, Ramana Maharshi. If you allow it, this story might well lead you to a spiritual awakening. It is about a person who lived the lives of five types of spiritual seekers in different births. Once he became the fifth type of spiritual seeker, he finally achieved liberation from suffering.

First Type: Striver - One Who Makes Endless Efforts

When our person was the first type of spiritual seeker, he relied on karma and willpower. He strives tirelessly to achieve goals. He did all "righteous actions" called Dharma. He aspires to make a meaningful mark using his passions and talents, driven by a desire to become significant. Believing solely in their own will and actions, he aims to change the world. After many lifetimes of such efforts, our person got frustrated as he never achieved freedom from the world's miseries.

Mistakes of Striver

These are his mistakes: His ego claimed the ownership of all significant actions without offering his fruit of action to God. He was attached to the results of his actions, thereby taking wrong paths to achieve the results faster.

After several births, he progresses to a second type of spiritual seeker.

Second Type: Polytheist - A Devotee of Multiple Gods Through Rituals

How did he advance to the second type of seeker? At one of his births, he approached a friend who told him that just doing Karma and Dharma would not lead him to his desired achievements. You need the help of the various Gods.

He started worshipping various gods through rituals, believing this would lead to ultimate fulfillment. Our person undergoes countless births, performing worship and rituals for various gods. Finally, he becomes weary of the constant cycle of new deities, traditions, and festivals. Seeking an alternative path, he approached a friend again, expressing his fatigue and asking if there was another way beyond the ritualistic worship of different gods. Then, his friend asks him to become a third type of spiritual seeker..
