Revered Master,our Holy scriptures refer to the two paths of life-shreya and preya.What is the meaning of these two paths?kindly throw light upon this.
Shreya means that which is nobel and superior,which is benedictory.Now,the prime goal of human life is to realize and attain God.The path that takes one to the fulfillment of this most noble and superior aim of life is the can tread after becoming initiated into Brahm Gyan(Divine knowledge) by the grace of satguru(perfect master)-this is what the path of shreya is.
However,quite countrary to it is the path of preya.Preya implies that which is only superficially alluring;which seems to be attractive,but,in fact,it is not! Preya only assures us of imparting happiness but,in fact,is unable to grant the same.For instance, a man thinks that if he possesses a car,a palatial house,etc.,then he will be happy.To achieve the same,he endeavours hard by treading the Preya Marg. However,whats is final consequence? Despite hoarding all these entities,he fails to be the partaker of peace and happiness.On the contrary,he is filled with grief and distress to an extent much more than before.
Thus,it can be said that the route of preya is equivalent to a mirage.What's a mirage?It is merely an illusion.A deer wandering in a desert feels that there is a pool of water some distance a head.Agitated due to thirst,it instantly runs at its fastest towards that pool of water and reaches there in no time.But ,how pitiable!What and reaches there in no time.But how pitiable!What does it find upon reaching there?Nothing !Only the particles of sand! In fact,when the sun's rays fall on sand particles of sand! In fact,when the sun's rays fall on sand !
In fact,when the sun's rays fall on sand particles,from a distance, a deer feels as if water is awaiting it.In the same fashion ,the path of preya greatly allures a man in the beginning.It Pretends to be the source of happiness and peace.
