Guru Pournima 2025

 

Guru Pournima 2025

Sent Reiki to all you students – those in sadhan and also not in sadhan…….on the occasion of this great day!

God willing – will keep the day open for all students to meet next year 2026!

Till then, be in sadhan, don’t demand Guru’s grace with simple empty words or greetings.

Become worthy of it by being in sadhan. Work on your attitudes. Become so worthy that Guru is compelled to be on your side day in and day out!

Bless you all!

RECIPE TO BE LEADERS!

 

RECIPE TO BE LEADERS!

There is only ONE recipe to be a “Leader” – that of being ready to lay down one’s life for a cause!

No one, absolutely no one (without an exception) can become a leader without being ready to and one who can lay down his life for a cause. No leadership is assigned without this ultimate sacrifice.

All want to be a leader (or a Reiki Master or a Grand Master in our case) and yet no one wants to sacrifice.

Forget about sacrificing one’s life, no one is ready to sacrifice his sleep, his greed, his manipulative nature, desire to be glorified by students and what not.

No one wants to make the necessary sacrifice. And so, no one makes a leader.

We all want to be leaders without making the necessary sacrifice. And the result is zero – nobody bows in front of us, no one listens to us and no one respects us.

A leader is one who is ready to sacrifice his ego and be humble (in real sense not just pretend). But, all want to control others. So, they fail the test when they act as Reiki Masters. They fail as humans. They fail to walk this path.

Correct the essentials and see the miracles happen. Work on self and become worthy of the respect that you so want and are desperate to get. It will happen automatically if you earn it. Don’t be manipulating seeking it.

Wake up and live right!

Problems are like washing machines.

 

Problems are like washing machines

They twist us, spin us and knock us around but in the end we come out cleaner, brighter and better in the end!

As long as life is life will throw googly at us. (Googly is a kind of ball thrown in cricket. It doesn’t have a set rhythm). No one can predict or control the way things will shape up in life. That is said as “life throwing googly at us”.

If seen right, it also can be said that “Life is playing with us”. We are batting and it is bowling. Fun, isn’t it?

But, we end up crying, complaining, going into depression and everything else except enjoying this game. Why? Not because, it is sad or bad. Yes, what life does or how it does is not bad or sad. What life does or how life evolves is also not wrong.

The issue is we are not “good at batting” the balls that it throws at us. We are poor players. We want to sit idle in the field. But, how? just think!!

We don’t know how to handle the balls thrown at us. The day we learn to play right even if be just a few of the balls thrown at us, just imagine the joy, satisfaction and pride we feel – not to forget the fun element then.

That learning to play the balls right is all healing is about. That way of living is all there is to learn. Then, come what may, we will enjoy this game of life! We wouldn’t be depressed, hopeless or feel cornered by life/guru/Reiki or God.

So, you see, problems are like washing machines. They twist us, spin us and knock us around but in the end we come out cleaner, brighter and better in the end!

So let’s work towards becoming a better person rather than a bitter person at the end of this washing!

Come let’s heal ourselves enough to be able to play this game better.

Come let’s enjoy this life for what it offers.

Come let’s reclaim our worth!

Recipe for happiness!

 

Recipe for happiness!

Don’t make everything about YOU!

Stop seeing “What’s in that for ME?” always!

Don’t keep looking for excuses to make yourself “a victim”.

 

And then, just like that – you’ll have people appreciating you, liking you, being there for you. And even when you weren’t searching for it, “happiness is there for you”.

 

Such a simple recipe and yet, so difficult for all to follow and benefit!!??

 

I wonder why?

Let go to be peaceful and happy!

 

Let go to be peaceful and happy!

The cause of all evil is our desire to be superior to others and our selfishness!

The cause of all suffering is our desire to have it our way ONLY! The more we let go of our adamant nature the less we suffer!

The more we let go off of our controlling nature, the better is our relationships.

The more we let go off of the demand to have and lead a life “as per our imagination”, less are the  problems we have in life.

We are fixated in our tastes and preferences. Nothing wrong in that – until those very tastes and preferences become so important and big that we consider everything else happening and receiving in our life as “suffering”. Change this perspective and lo! There was never a problem.

And therefore, inspite of you looking to solve a problem you didn’t get a solution and there can be no solution given to a problem that never was!

My little steps towards enlightenment! My evening walk!

 

My little steps towards enlightenment!

My evening walk!

Today, it was very cloudy as I stepped out of the house to go for a walk!

But, I was ready for the walk!

Once decided it had to be done. I mean, isn’t this commitment all about?!

I looked at the sky. I looked at the watch.

I smelt the air. Yes! It would definitely rain – that was obvious– and that too very soon.

I would be stranded on the road if I ventured into my usual routine path.

I entered the lift.

I pressed the top floor.

I went on terrace and started my walk.

10, 15 minutes over and clouds were gathering fast. But, no problem. I just had to go down the lift. So, the rain didn’t bother me now.

I was all with the walk.

Cool breeze, dark sky, birds going back to their nests and chirping (omg, how much do they chirp?) – all these were soaked in by my senses. I found myself relaxed. I completed my quota of the walk and yet found myself fresh as a flower. I stood by and watched the sky. The view was beautiful. The breeze was relaxing. And then the drops of rain started pouring down in a great rush.

I had to rush down. But still, today’s walk was beautiful!

Yes, we can fulfill our commitment – come rain or sunshine if we CHOOSE to!

Glad, today I choose to!
