Even without lifting her head she replied “what now doctor?” is the question asked by 2 patients to the doctor. To one he prescribes crocin and other chemotherapy. Does the patient who’s prescribed crocin fight that he’s not given expensive medication like chemo?”
“No” I replied “The medicine depends on the disease not on the person”.
“Likewise my answer fits the person who asks. How can it be same for all? It’s like trying to give single doses to all. A true master is one who “knows” his student's requirement and then gives him solutions. You can’t sit with one solution and give it to all. It’s not holy ash which is same for all. But, at the same time like holy ash each technique or procedure should give a solution to that particular student”. She explained. "Only that master who knows to treat each student as a separate individual will know to give separate solution."
“Her answers are always right depending upon the person who seeks it"
continued Rahul “Like- wise the answer you gave is right and applies to every person who goes to place of worship seeking same favour from the God. But, her statement talked about her feelings that she experienced at the temple that’s all. There was nothing personal there. She meant everyone who visited that place. She was talking about every religious person who followed rituals only as much as benefits him but was never bothered about his benefactor. It being God here”.
“I think what Rahul said is true! Even I had faced similar situations before and she had clarified them accordingly” agreed Geetha. By now, I saw all others having become calm “As many times before, we’ve misunderstood her again” Preethi echoed everyones thought, they nodded in unison.
I and Rahul left them to contemplate on this issue to have our cup of hot late night tea.
Sipping it he smiled and said “How true were our guru’s words when she said “One who is right need not necessarily be understood as right" I nodded.
"Being RIGHT also can bring pain to the person who is right" I replied. Rahul smiled and we both were lost in thoughts as we gulped our tea....
