Who
Can Be A True Visionary?
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
Daivim
dhiyam manamahe sumrdikamabhistaye Varchodham yajnavahasa a sutirtha no
asadvase. - Yajurveda 4/11
We aspire
for the divine intellect, which gives joyous illumination and ensures
completion of the yajna. May that intellect be in our possession! To be a
visionary is to acquire the ability to look far ahead into time and glimpse the
future. This ability is a gift of that divine intellect which assesses its
potentials and weaves a dream around it. This very dream is the goal of our
life; it charts our paths and takes us in the right direction.
In those who have this ambition, a unique capability develops. They are able to perform such deeds, as others cannot even imagine. Their vision acquires the power to penetrate the mist of the present and perceive the future clearly. If you feel an urge to become someone like this, it is just natural. In fact, absence of such a feeling would be a cause of worry because that would be a sign of inertness. If there is any hint of this inertness, get rid of it, and take steps in the direction of becoming a visionary. For this, the first thing to do is to cherish lofty aims and ideals.

What
should be the type of these ideals may be gleaned from the sayings of Gurudev.
According to him, only he is a believer who can clearly visualize the dazzling
sun of a summer noon in a dark and stormy night sky filled with dense
rain-bearing clouds. In other words, only he who can dare to dream of a
glorious future cutting through the forbidding pall of dense darkness of
hopelessness can be a true visionary. This requires an integration of a bold
and imaginative mind and a subtle discriminative faculty. Indeed, we all have
an imaginative mind and indulge in fantasies all the time. (Countinue)
