Me,
My Guru- On a Road trip
Day
one:
The bond between them became so strong
that the fawn stayed back with the saint even after it totally recouped. Many
years later when the saint was on his death bed the fawn now a fully grown deer
was standing beside him. Saints mind was totally agitated when a thought came
“who’ll take care of this poor deer when I am no more?”
With this single minded thought and
pain he died. Next life he was born a deer. A saint who was to be enlightened
had to be born in lower “yoni” or as an animal just because of his
“attachment” for his deer. He got once more caught in the cycle of life
and death. “You mean to say we shouldn’t love or take care of anyone”. I asked
when she concluded her story. “No love by all means. But that love should not
give us a feeling that only we can cater to that person’s well being or
happiness. We shouldn’t bind ourselves to them. We should fulfill all our
responsibilities with love. You can also go an extra mile and pamper that
person/ Spoil that person with all the comforts that you can afford. But, being
worried about that person’s well being in your absence is making that person
dependent on you. That is not good for either of you. Love with all of yourself
and more but let it not make your going away some actually could understand it.
But even today I have theoretically understood it but have not accepted it or
could apply it in any way. So I observe the way she conducts herself in all her
relationships and try to learn what my mind has missed to” concluded Aziz.
I understood the last sentence
completely. I sailed in that ship many a times with my Guru. And I knew there
was no hurrying possible in this direction. Understanding happened in bits and
pieces till it was completely understood. Like always, even this time I was
ready to wait for that magic to happen.
And till then I went to catch my sleep
along with Aziz who was already snoring off. I could see few others also slowly
going to sleep. With nothing to do till lunch time I slept.
