Jealousy

Jealousy

One saint by name “Truptram” lived in Himalayas for many years. He exuberated love all around him so much that children in the neighbouring village came to him and enjoyed his company all through the day. One day, he felt if he could love other’s children so much, how much more he can love his own children? This thought pushed him towards the plains below. He choose a lady to share his life with, married her and lived happily for few months to come.

His wife found after some-time that her happiness was not much when compared with others. She found happiness wanting. She requested her husband ‘Truptram’ to do something about it. He asked her as to what she exactly wanted. She said “A huge bunglow”. He told her he could bring anything with his yogic powers but there was a condition. Whatever they got, their neighbours would always get double. She agreed to this condition. She got a bunglow. Out of joy, she ran out to tell her neighbours about it but to her dismay, she found that each of her neighbour got two bunglows. Her joy immediately evaporated. She ran inside and cried her heart out.

Next day, after much thinking she felt she should ask for Benz car. She requested for the same from her husband. He chanted the mantra and they got a car. She felt she could really feel others being jeolous of her new car. She wanted to see their pain on their face. She rushed out. But……..

But, she found that all her neighbours got two cars each. She was totally disheartened. She felt she never could be happy with things going this way. The more she worked her way to possessing something, her neighbours always ended up having two of them. Her pain knew no bounds. She had no one to share her suffering too! No one understood what she went through the whole night.

Then an idea stuck her. Her happiness knew no bounds. She now knew where her happiness was! She had the key to her happiness at last!

Morning came. She went excitedly and asked her husband to wish “I should lose one leg and one arm.” Truptram became puzzled and said “But, you’ll have to live with a husband who has only one leg and one arm. How can you be happy in that situation?” His wife smiled and said, “You are seeing what I’ll have to live with. But, I am seeing what others have to live with! Everyone’s husbands’ will lose both arms and legs! Such a beautiful thought! I never suffered with what I had! I always lived with pain because of what others had! It may be difficult nay impossible to have more than others, but atleast I can see that others lose more than me and that way can be more richer and happier than them – always!”

Her husband though confused went ahead with her wish. He lost his one arm and a leg. Neighbour’s men lost both arms and legs. She was at last happy.

Few days passed and life seemed so boring.. she felt she deserved some new happiness. She asked her husband “Please pray ‘I lose my one eye’. Truptram knew that there was no point in arguing with his wife. So, he just did as told by her. He lost his one eye but in the neighbourhood, in each house, man of the house lost both of his eyes. Gloom descended in the entire village. But, Truptram’s wife’s happiness knew no bounds. She partied and her happiness spread over few weeks.

Surrender

This topic was discussed sometime back....
I am SURE many people have misunderstood the meaning of the word SURRENDER.

Those of you have surrendered themselves to your Guru...Ms. Revathi have NOT understood the meaning of the word SURRENDER and whatever she has taught has gone down the drain. They are only surrendering expecting something GOOD in return and it reflects their selfish and GREEDY nature.
It is difficult to explain here but these people strongly believe in short time gains and long term losses.

Those of you have surrendered to REIKI ONLY have understood the meaning of the word SURRENDER.

Surrrender means SURRENDERING to REIKI...SURRENDERING to GOD.

Some people will never learn.
