Me, My Guru



...contd.....

"Then, first and foremost stop whinning and going around complaining to others and to yourself that you are in mess and that this is messy and that this is the worst situation to be in!  It isn't!  Then sit and collect yourself and write down your doubts and your desires - here - getting a job.  Think only about how to get a job - All other matters are redundant.  Start somewhere - it doesn't matter where!  Whenever, a person takes a break - whether it be a personal choice or a forced one due to circumstances, it is too difficult to start again.  The system and the mind has got used to a pattern of living (here a closed one - since it is about staying at home!) and hence very difficult to break that security blanket and come out of it.  Overcome that fear.  Do re-birth meditation and hands-on regularly to overcome it.  Then do intension reiki to get a job.  But, first of all in three days find some job, I repeat some job, even if it is at a petrol bunk take it - it is fine.  Just get one and walk out of that house of yours.  Once you start getting used to going out daily, you'll be more open to taking up jobs more challenging and fulfilling or befitting your qualification.  Overcoming your fear is the only hurdle you've to look into!  Nothing else matters" she concluded.

"But, how does that solve my brother's problem?" asked Radhika a little irritated.

"You can just do reiki that he gets on and that he has clarity regarding his career - that's all!  All other things are cooked up inside your head.  Just drop it!  You can't stop others from worrying!  No one can - so relax - and just take care of your life for now and other things will follow suit"  replied my Guru.

Radhika fidgeted with her fingers for sometime, wiped her tears and left without a word.  I knew, she wasn't all that happy with the answer.  But, after listening to the entire talk, I doubted if she ever wanted a solution at all!  And i knew from my personal experience that if she followed what our Guru advised her to, she could be more than happy - very soon,  But, that she had to put into practice what was asked of her.  And that I doubted.  No, not because I knew her.  I hardly knew her.  But, because I've seen so many people with similar situatons come to my Guru and than go back to their same living.  And my Guru's advise was always about changing one's mind-set , attitude and it had to do with attacking the problem and solving it rather than sit and discuss about it!  Only time would tell if she benefitted from this talk or not!  I certainly did as I could think of applying it in so many areas of my life!

Even today, I received something valuable from her and she gave so lavishly!  I thanked her for that and left her place with a smile on my lips..........
