At the end of the day ask yourselves "Today, did I just go through the mundane routine or did I celebrate life?"

Doctor in the village

...contd....

Doctor Saheb smiled and said ‘your question is senseless.  This is a hospital not a movie-theatre or a hotel where it’s good to be!  If the patient is treated as an in-patient it means he is serious.  All the neighbouring villages have water, which is highly polluted because of which they all are having kidney failure.  So, I admitted them as in-patients.  No one in our village is so sick.  Thank God for that!  They have regular ailments like cold, cough and fever.  So I treat them as out-patients.’

My Guru smiled as she concluded this story.

For the time time, I understood the answer to my question “Why are you partial to few students and spend more time with them and let go off many others after teaching few healing or cleansing techniques to heal themselves?’

Now, I understood.  She wasn’t being partial to any.  Her behaviour was totally dependent on the student’s requirement. The one who was more confused got to spend more time with her.  It was the only way she could work her way through their confusion, hatred and pain and give them clarity.  ‘To each his own’ that was her strategy.  I understood her love today. I understood as I took all the cases and reviewed them now.  I silently thanked her for being herself.  How true someone was when they said ‘A true Master’s ways are contradictory and beyond the grasp of he layman or his student” 

For once, I agreed whole heartedly!

Me, My Guru

Doctor in the Village

“Once upon a time in a village called Maya Nagari came a Dr. called Premkumar.  He set his clinic and started treating patients.  Patients from far and near came to him for the treatment.  His fame grew and the clinic also expanded to accommodate in-house patients.

The villagers at first though very happy that all the people from the neighbouring villages were coming to get treated in their village, started to become restless after sometime.  Because of the crowd, the villagers income has increased and so had their means of livelihood, eateries, fruit stalls and such were opened outside the clinic.  In short, the villagers benefited economically.  But….

They had restless feeling since sometime.  They felt Dr.was being partial to the outsiders.  They thought maybe, it had to do with the fact that they were richer and could pay well.  The Dr. was money-minded and hence favoured the neighbouring villagers.  They called him names and started being indifferent with him.  They carried their anger and complaints with themselves.  And their anger increased when they saw that the Doctor was not aware of their plight.  They hated him more.

The schoolteacher was a little sensible person in that village.  He felt this unnecessary ill-feeling was going too far and had to be put in check and so went to the Doctor and asked him ‘Dr. Saheb, how come you take other village people as in-patients and treat our villagers as out-patients.  Do you think it is right?’

Doctor Saheb smiled and said......

...contd....... 

To know the blessing when it comes your way is wisdom.

To accept it and to acknowledge it is gratitude.

To cherish, respect and be happy about it is knowing love.

To have lived it is being Love.

To have lost it and then realize what you had is stupidity……..

Make a list of your wisdom, gratitude, love and stupidity…..the list will give you the reason for your happiness, pain and suffering……..

If you say “I love him/her because she/ he makes me happy” then that is no love.  Never marry a person because you think you can be happy with them. You never will!

But, if you say “Happiness means nothing if I don’t have her/him to share it with” then that is love……don’t let go off this person in your life…….only one in a million get to meet such a person in their lives…blessed are those few who get to live such a relationship…….for love is only for the chosen…..it doesn’t happen to every Tom, Dick and Harry……

On Death........

...contd..........

How?  The first step is ‘Be’ in the moment.  We are in past recollecting some incident or dreaming about the future.  But never, in the NOW and HERE!  So, let’s start by being here and now! Whatever you do, just BE with it, in it 100%.  Even if you are fighting, fight with your entire being.  Give 100% of your self to the job at hand/emotion of this moment.  Bring your consciousness to the act that you are performing right now!

How? 

a)    Close your eyes now and breathe very slowly.  Just BE!  Experience the NOW and HERE moment.

b)    Chant ‘OM’ 3 times aloud and sit silently.  The peace that you experience comes from Beingness.

c)    Ring ‘OM’ Bell or any bell and listen to its sound with eyes closed.  Do it thrice and sit in silence for some time. This feeling is ‘TO BE’.  You can remind yourself to experience this everytime 1) your phone rings  2) doorbell rings  3) you hear someone shout/ talk  4) you are climbing down the stairs…….choices are so many.  What you do often or what you meet often, use that thing to remind you ‘TO BE’.  5) Mentally look at your face every now and then.  Is there frown/ anger or any such feeling – then immediately shift it to a smile.  Just smile.  Let the smile spread on your entire face.  Let it you’re your eyes.  Now go back to work.  Remember, every time you shout/ are angry/ are frowning not only will you get wrinkles fast  but you are hastening your steps towards the grave – ask any doctor, he will tell you that stress, worry, fear will reduce your life span.  So, please, please, please Practise this above simple techniques as many times as possible……..

And start living…see the way you relate with the work everytime you experience ‘to be’ .  so, let’s live life – which we are afraid of losing.

Remember

Zindagi zinda dilli ka naam hai

Kya murdeh bhi khakh jiya karte hai…

Life is about being alive

Can we call the existence of corpses as life?

Let not life pass out of our reach and then we end up saying –

Maut ke pahloo mein aake

Zindagi ka patha mila

When death embraced me,

I got to know how to live…

How ironic would that be…..so, let us live in such a way that

Milo tho aise milo ke log kare aarzoo

Jiyo tho aise jiyo ke duniya misaal de

If you meet someone, meet in such a way that they long to see you again

Live so that the world could say ‘this is how you live’

So, instead of fearing death, running away from it, learn to live life….kingsize…other name for life is sharing, caring, loving, giving and Being Happy! See if your moments are filled with these…if not do,say,write to make those moments express your ‘living’ ……remember – hatred is death. Being jealous you are killing yourself….so keep away from death and be alive….

Here I conclude and hope that you start living.........

….contd……..

If you look into hourly basis list of time spent (only wakeful hours) then, have you done anything actually worthwhile? Now, close your eyes and ask is it really painful to let go off this dead mundane and drudgery filled routine?  Wait till you get an answer..

Take out the next list, feelings you experienced throughout the day.  I doubt if you find even 20% of the entire day’s feeling to be that of happiness, love, affection, peaceful et like.

Reg. Third list the less said the better.  In the life span of 20-30-40 years, we hardly have 20-30-40 moments worth the name (the good ones!) worth remembering!

A life, which is full of dead routine – not doing which no one misses much.  A life which is full of pain, anger, hatred and such feelings only – most of the time. A life from  which I remember only 20-30 moments – is it really said, painful to bid adieu at the time of Death….

No, certainly not.  Death is to come 20-30 or 200 years later.  Still my life would be more or less the same.  Is this worth extending?

If no, then learn to LIVE NOW instead of postponing Death.  Don’t waste your energy through fear and try to extend life-span – instead live each day worth the name.  Have something pleasant, worth the name thing to do along with your daily chores.  Seize the moment! Live NOW.  Life should be good not long!  Life should be lived not counted in years!

Only thing certain about Life is Death.  Death can be delayed, maybe but never can be done away with.  So why fear or fight the inevitable?  Let’s enjoy Life while it lasts.

How?
