discipleship





….contd…..


You’ve lost as a person. It reflects your character as one who cannot be depended on in bad times.

Are you ready to live with this fact? If yes, forget it. If no, then work on your fear.



Practice various techniques to overcome that fear and come out openly to talk about your Master and his contribution in your life. If you are thinking of justifying, it means you’ve decided to be as you are. If you’ve realized your mistake, don’t justify, get up and act two ways 1.work on your fear 2.speak about your Master openly. Stand up for your Master, it doesn’t mean you fight every person who doesn’t follow him or talks ill about him. But, in public atleast accept that he’s made a contribution in your life and for you only that is true and that you are grateful to him for that.

I’ve read, heard people say ‘I can’t tell my Guru’s name” etc in comments section and also personally few times. This is especially to such people I appeal.

“Accept me as a friend in FB but don’t mention about reiki there, I don’t want others to know that I am a reiki channel…”

If you are so much ashamed of being reiki channel what’s the faith you’ve on reiki and your master. Remember, if you are ashamed of someone, it’s better to let go off them than have a relationship on a sly. If it’s not open, then there’s something wrong about it – either in fact or in the way you perceive it! Think about it.

I am not saying like a fanatic go about shouting from roof-top or start converting people. But, at the same time, don’t be ever frightened of coming out in open.

Yes when we are expressing that reiki Has bought a sea change in my life why are we not ready to accept it in open. Even I remember now as long as i was scared to say that I am a reiki channel there were many limitations to my life as long as I was not ready to admit that My master helped me and thought it us my sadan that us doIng miracles in my life sadan was a very huge mountain

As long as you feel you are alone
As long as you feel it is you who is facing the problem abd wait for the help of others u feel deprived
U feel as small as possible before them surrender ur self to ur guru initially it may seem a bit confused but as u start surrendering u see

Hi Mam,

Thanks for posting such a wonderful article about Gurubhakthi.

I would request you to please please read the below content till end. I am not at all trying to justify myself here within.

I wasn't afraid of anyone nor was there any fear of taking my Guruji's name anytime, neither in the PAST nor in PRESENT. Here I declare his name PROUDLY "PARAM PUJYA SANT SHRI ASARAMJI BAPU". This is the name with which his disciples and the world know's him.

I accept I did write

1) "I can’t tell my Guru’s name..."
&
2)Accept me as a friend in FB but don’t mention about reiki there, I don’t want others to know that I am a reiki channel…

some time back but there wasn't even smallest speck of fear in me while writing these lines.

I am only tired & annoyed of those STUPID,DULL HEAD AND SENSELESS people who come to me and tell me something bad or non sense about my Guru. I don't want to and I can't listen all such stupid things about him. I have repeatedly explained people that my relation with my guru be it YOU(Revathi Mam) or bapuji is very personal to me and no HUMAN BEING is supposed to comment on it, unless you know something about it and & if you feel I have understood any of my guru's percepts wrongly and I am doing anything in wrong way then you can correct me but you can also be polite enough while doing it.

My Own Cousins,Kith & Kin, elders,friends.. etc ... have insulted me numerous times because of my association with him and said many untoward things to my guru, infront of me. I feel like I should give them such a tight slap, kick them blue black and remove their tongue from their throats but only since they were elders/dear to me I had to keep quite, I was helpless. They did not even have minimum decency of explaining things in a decent and polite manner if they feel that there is something to be corrected in me.

I am not afraid to tell anyone that I am a Reiki Channel too, I am very Proud of it. Reiki & the sadhan which I do does help me daily.... there are innumerable miracles which happen daily in my life but just think what is the use of telling all this to a person who is not at all interested in listening or understanding the greatness of my Guru or you or Reiki.

Its like "Bhains ke saamne been bajana.." ie..Playing the flute to a buffalo (is a total waste)

Buffalo does not understand the melody of the sound which comes out of the flute.. similar is the case here Most of the people whom i meet in my life are like bhains...they might have problems in life... but they are not ready to accept a guru or do sadhan.. and they in turn talk nonsense in front of me about my guru.. I was actually trying to help them out of pity & Its like they are giving an indirect tight slap on my face... after few such instances.. I understood that might be they do not have enough punya or luck etc (what ever is true) so that they can become a R Channel or a shishya for my Guru. I leave them here with their own decisions but after this do they keep quite? No.. when they next meet me/parents anywhere they either insult me, my guruji and my parents...

"arey apka bacha... ko pagal chada.. usko brain wash kardiye woh baba... etc etc .. stupid stuff.."

My dad feels a lot for this.. It pains his heart..He cries coz he feels I am on some wrong path/mis guided or I am on a path where ppl of my age are not supposed to be. PPl think having a guru or doing sadhan is a thing which is only supposed to be done in old age.. My mom is not like that..she understands the stupidity and takes it lightly..she knows that people in the world keep passing comments... she also scolded sometimes when I fought back against the ppl who spoke crap about me & my guru saying that you can't fight back with every1.. leave them they are not bound to understand such things..but what about my dad?? he is growing old.. I want my parents to be happy and proud about me. I don't want any TOM, DICK & HARRY to come and talk some nonsense.. My dad does not believe in my guru thats a different story altogether.. its his choice.. but he atleast does not dis respect my guruji and does not taunt me like my relatives.. unfortunately my dad is the smallest among all his cousins so am I.. so if some1 is talking extra even though we know that he is talking bullshit we cannot talk back saying you shut up and mind ur business.. dont interfere in our life's .. it again becomes a family quarrel and a tamasha in front of all else who are there.

So after all such experiences I did pray to my guruji..& he responded.. Yes.. when ever I pray or do Reiki for something my wishes and prayers are answered. I am thankful for those miracles too. So after this bitter experiences I did pray to my guruji that such things are happening in my life though I am not doing anything bad ppl unnecessarily taunt me and my parents which is v painful for us..though I am not the only one who is taunted, many other shishya's or bhakts have been facing this from society since ages..viz.. Meera,kabir etc... so sometimes after listening to such stories in satsang & the fact that you are not the body but soul.. the insult which is happening is of the body..You have to learn the act of observing things with your senses but do not let them affect you...I thought for myself and built up courage..This is a bit difficult.. I practice it even now but if someone crosses limit I do retaliate back.. since I feel that we are in society & you need to have your space & respect.. ppl can't comment on your personal choices.. if there is anything which is affecting others and my neighbours or collegues yes they can request/suggest/scold me if its painful for them but not on my personal life.. I want ppl to respect me talk politely to me be friendly to me does not mean I will flow into it.. No not at all..my guru has taught that don't allow worldly things to dance on your head.. if you get appreciation just see the happiness what your mind and heart feel.. mind heart happiness are all mortal.. see what all it experiences.. you may pat your back for your achievement but also try to improve more from where you are and dont get carried away by them since they are not true and they are not permanent.


He also told in satsang the story of DOGS.. It so happens that 3 dogs decide to go on a religious tour, 1 among them is such that he always tries to correct others who are doing something wrong.. on their way they see a group of dogs who taunt them , tease them.. while the other 2 dont care and keep walking the 3rd dog thinks that even though I am good natured, I am going on a religious tour these ppl are tauting on me.. so i will teach them a lesson and starts fighting with them.. this becomes V fierce and he is very badly hurt and is not able to continue his religious tour nor is he going higher in his spritual journey.. on the return tour the 2 other dogs see him in a bad state and remind him that they had suggested him leave that group alone.. if he had listened then he would have not met such a fate..

THIS IS WHAT I AM FOLLOWING....

I have left telling people openly.. its only because I am annoyed... & I wonder why should I tell them about my guru.. I feel if they are lucky enough or if its written in their fate they will surely meet him, understand his great ness etc.. or if not they will meet any other guru.. The person whose wisdom and thought process does not change after listening to guru's amritvani.. of what use will be anything which I tell to him..This is the first point..


Point No : 2, I strongly believe and its written in shastras that its a very great sin to talk ill of others (normal ppl).. its not good to abuse any1 or keep spreading wrong rumours about some1.. so if this is the case when you abuse normal ppl.. can you imagine what will happen to you if you tarnish the image or talk ill about SAINTS.. who are dear to GOD??

This is the second reason why I feel its better I keep quite and do not talk in front of idiots... if you start an argument with an idiot he will drag you to his level but he will never learn anything from you.. thats the IRONY..


Point No : 3, As said above "Bhains ke saamne been bajana.." ie..Playing the flute to a buffalo (is a total waste)..

When you know that the person infront of you will not understand your point then its a waste telling him anything.. u r a big fool if you do this.. inturn you are insulting your Guru if you talk about him infront of a person who is not interested in listening..
You are the SINNER here now..


I don't remember where I read but Yes... I did read that its wrong to read about shastras etc.. infront of a person who is not interested in listening about..

citing such reasons I am secretive about Reiki or My Guru..

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE I AM AFRAID OF ANYONE.. ONLY THING IS ITS LIKE BANGING YOUR HEAD WITH THE WALL..

If I was ashamed of Being his shishya I would have never openly said that all the credits goes to him...

Hope this explains mam.... I just have few concerns thats all.. Unless I feel some1 is capable of understanding I will not raise in front of them the topics of Reiki or my guru.

Please Please Please do correct me If I am wrong anywhere, as you(Revathi Mam) are my only guide to whom I can talk directly and get answers...

I have read the above lines many times before posting it.. apologies if anywhere I have said anything wrong.. I am Ignorant please guide me on the path of light & wisdom..

Hi Vaibhav! Thank you for sharing your feelings. I would not have understood this, as I've been lucky that everyone around me is in awe of reiki (also those who are not reiki channels yet). In my experience, whenever I have shared regarding reiki, it has helped others as they have called me during emergencies (sometimes even at midnight) for reiki. It has also inspired a lot of my friends to become reiki channels themselves or get into some other sadhan, whichever suits them.
