Me, My guru – working of Karma noted in a real-life situation!

The elder one was misunderstood by her family and relatives. They considered her to be ‘wrong one’ and talked ill of her. But the elder daughter never opened her mouth to explain about her mother’s character or the deeds of her brother and sister. Her sister and brother snatched all the gold and money from their parents. They troubled them in various ways till the painful end came to that old couple. They lived in hell every day thanks to their dear son and daughter. This is the karma of having ‘moham’ (attachment) to the wrong type of kid. 

Just before death, the old couple sought forgiveness from the elder daughter for spoiling her life and name. They begged their elder daughter to be born to them in the next life too for they said “Even in next life, our son and daughter are going to be equally vicious and bad. They are going to create hell for us. Please be born to us to protect us from them and to hide the wrongs and their misdeeds as you did this life”.

The elder daughter laughed and said “If I had been sincere in taking care of you, then God will never allow me to be your daughter ever” She was not bitter but she was not ready to walk the same hell for no apparent reason. She chose not to give her word to them.

If forgiveness is sought in private when the character assassination was done in pubic, does it count?

What would be the effect of such forgiveness?

Were the old couple really sorry for what they did? What do you think?

Was the daughter being selfish and arrogant in not promising them to be their daughter in the next life?

What do you think of such a daughter? Was her action acceptable?

In the above case, I saw something beautiful. The second son repented what he had done to his elder brother, and sought forgiveness (genuinely). He was a changed man now. His heart had become pure with regret and shame. He faced the downs of life with equipoise and so healed his karma. His nature became purer over the years.

But, the eldest daughter-in-law kept the fire of hatred and resentment alive all these years. She kept marketing her ‘victimhood’ to all and sundry. Of course, people pitied her and felt she had suffered a lot in life. But, the hatred in her was eating her away from within. Because she was feeding hatred, it became huge. It demanded a victim on which it could direct its poison. The woman found her elder daughter suitable for this. She vented all her hatred on her elder daughter. She felt only her second daughter and son were her own. She started spreading rumours about her elder daughter. But, her elder daughter was calm and kept supporting her physically, emotionally, financially and even spiritually till the end without expecting anything from her mother. She didn’t even carry any anger towards her mother.

In the meantime, the mother developed tumour and had to be operated. It was found to be ‘just before cancer stage’. But, a few years down the lane, she developed cancer and doctors gave up on her. It was again her elder daughter who came to her rescue and stood by her – by way of finding the right doctor, arranging money and everything. She was cured of cancer but it did eat her organs away. Her heart was enlarged. She developed multiple complications and lived with them for the next couple of decades. She enjoyed life. But, her bitterness increased and she would find new ways to torture her elder daughter. One by one her organs started deteriorating. This is the ‘karma’ of troubling the ‘right one’.

What do you think of the daughter-in-law and her feelings? How right was she in her feelings and how right was karma in treating her so?

What do you think of the daughter?

How do you understand 'a mother' who behaves so?

Our Guru continued with explaining how karma dealt with people giving us some case studies. "II case: In a certain family, the eldest son was not liked by anyone except the father. So, when the father died, they made him sign a will relinquishing his rights. Years rolled by. His mother suffered multiple surgeries and was bedridden for 2 years. Her daughter whom she considered the whole world didn’t come to even see her once. Her second son at 70 yrs is working to run the family. All the riches washed away faster than they received. They experienced only poverty. What’s the use of usurping others' rights? You’ll end up not being able to enjoy a penny of it.

Such are the cases and many more too! Whenever I see, if I wait for 10-20 years, I see karma coming back. People pay back. Some realize and repent. Many don’t. those who repent change for the better. Their attitudes get transformed and they would’ve developed some very good divine qualities and lost or diluted their asuric nature. Others who don’t realize this suffer more and more.

They become more bitter and amass so much negativity from people in their lives. They become so lonely. They lived in hell! Because they don’t realize karma doesn’t get healed or exhausted in spite of having faced the consequences. They sow more karma with resentment and bitterness. The vicious cycle continues and that is ‘living in hell endlessly’!

The milestone reached – 329 posts – The ultimate one!

 

The milestone reached in 2024 – 329 posts – The ultimate one!

Finally, we have crossed 329 posts a couple of days earlier!!! https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=302+posts

This was the number – the highest number of posts in a year so far in our blog since its inception. This number was for the year 2020.

We have crossed the highest number of posts – 329 that means we have already created a new history in our blog of making a ‘new highest number of posts so far’.

We just have to wait and see where our work takes us to….

I still would be working as much as I can and let’s see how much more posts I can add to this magical number of 329 this year…..

Any guesses?

I will take one step at a time, one post a day and see where it takes me……

Kudos to you too for being with the post……

Having created a new record should we become a little casual about our work?

We can and usually people do too. But, is that the lesson we wish to learn and imbibe this year?

Usually, the goals that people set are ones in which we have decided to perform better than others, achieve more than others, and be more than others. Even if your goal is something along those lines, DON'T STOP even when you reach the said target. Yes, when you have crossed your opponent's mark, don't stop. Keep going. Set a record that would be difficult for even you to break in future! That should be the way we should work towards our goals. That would be so inspiring and worth working towards too.

Keep working in small doses but regularly and the magic happens at the appointed time.

Don’t be looking at the goal. Just keep up the good work and the goal is reached effortlessly.

These are just a few lessons we can take from this year’s journey!

Want to throw some more?

So what are your goals for this month?

What are your goals for this year?

What are your goals from this life of yours?

What did you learn from this "Milestones of 2024" journey so far? How can you apply it to your life plan and life goals?

Pointers to understand the post:

“ We didn’t overcome our pain today. We’ll not in the next few weeks too. It was too deep to overcome in a few days time. And yet, we knew we need to come to our Guru again and again just so that we stick to this path and hold on to this sadhan. Yes, left to ourselves we would be going astray. We had seen it happen so many times before – both with ourselves and with others. We wanted to avoid that from happening this time.” – Healing is not a quick-fix solution. In today’s 2-minute noodles days, we want instant gratification. We don’t have the patience to go through a channel for more than 2-3 minutes. We are ever restless. And that reflects in our spiritual practices and expectations too.

It needs time and patience. It needs regularity. It needs constant prodding from a mentor or a Guru. And yet, it is worth all the pain, time and wait at the end. Be in sadhan. Be regular in sadhan. You will see results only if you are regular in sadhan. Drawing a symbol to get bus doesn’t fall into the “sadhan” that I am talking about.

“We just had to keep going with our sadhan. Yes, we would falter. We would experience pain too in this process. But, this pain was worth it for the prize was worth it. the pain itself was the key to set us free from pain. What a wonderful thought!” – We needed pain to make us realize our area that needs to be addressed and healed. Our key to freedom from pain and suffering also lies in the pain and suffering only! And our techniques help us overcome them easily and more effortlessly in less time.

Pointers to understand the post:

“But, as the day turned to night, Karna couldn’t overlook his hunger. So, he asked the Angel “Brother, you’ve been showing me around all the places. But, I am very hungry. Why don’t you give me something to eat?” – see how Karna addresses the Angel with loads of affection and respect. Just because he had earned a seat in heaven it didn’t go to his head.

Our post, position, money, achievements, contacts and so on shouldn’t make us arrogant. I find many go head strong with “I am a Reiki Master” statement. It is just a degree. Know that. Be that!

Same applies to everything else too!

Be humble. Don’t think we are entitled to anything in this or after life! No one gets respect by demanding. One earns it by his behavior and character. And humility is that attitude that gets you respect from others. Know this and develop that character.

““Because you’ve given various kinds of riches as charity in the World below (meaning on Earth). But you never gave food to anyone. So, you will not receive food. In the heaven, you receive 10 times of what you give on Earth. You can’t receive what you didn’t give!” the Angel said and left.” – So you see, not all our good karmas are encashed in this form and on Earth only. They are also encashed in our astral forms.

The impact of our karma and their workings go beyond one life time and human body!

“So you see you receive what you give in equal measure. That is the Law of Karma. You can’t redeem one act of yours with your desire as you please.” No body, absolutely nobody can redeem their one punya with their any desire. Do not get confused with being good and earning brownie points for doing good.

Pointers to understand the post:

“Like many days before, we came to our Guru’s place with our baggage of frustrations, anger and accusations. In fact, I’ve noticed that most of us would come only with our complaints. We didn’t even think of her much (though we ended up saying ‘we think daily of you maam’ when we met her!!) in our good times. I mean, who had time to go meet a Guru in times of fun and frolic. And then, who wanted to??” – Many go to temples in times of need.

Many practice various religious rituals in times of need.

Many visit their Guru in times of need.

But, when things are going smooth, people don’t have time for SADHAN, DOING POOJA OR TAKE UP SOME PENANCE.

Dukh mein sumiran sab kare, sukh mein karein na koi,

Jo sukh mein sumiran karein tho dukh kahe hoye….Kabir Das.

No excuse is valid for such a mindset.

Don’t fall to this temptation of this World.

Enjoy your life the way you want to. But, also make it COMPULSORY to sit in sadhan on daily basis. Visit your Guru (if you have one) on regular basis. Be in sadhan – regularly!

This is the ONLY SENSIBLE way of living right!

“Our Guru didn’t answer immediately. She received a call. She went to receive that. In the meantime, we were served our tea. A few minutes later our Guru joined us. She sat comfortably and had her tea as we poured our heart out.” – When things go wrong, everybody’s emotions are disturbed. Their behavior, words and tone is highly disrespectful and volatile.

Look at the way the Guru behaves. That is the way one can behave in similar situations. This comes with practice like everything else in life!

We need not get suck into the disturbing emotions around us. We can still maintain our calm and poise. Take time to respond to others’ accusations, however personal and baseless they are. RESPOND but never react.

Ek chup sau sukh! Remember that! And put that into practice. We won’t need to mend the broken relationships later.
