On Destiny

…contd…..

Today’s session was not something new. But yes, it added a new dimension. She had said these words like a million times and yet we ended up asking her the same question again and again and she had to package her answer differently every time. I didn’t know if I had to pity her or feel angry at our understanding capacity. If we kept going in circles asking question again and again on same or similar topics, when are we to grow spiritually and ask question related to ‘higher knowledge’?

 

But as she explained once, till we are not stable in first step, what’s the purpose of talking of view from 100^th step? We listened but forgot equally fast as at that time what she explained didn’t apply to us and our life situations. At most we ended up asking “does such problems exist? Do people behave in such a fashion? etc”.

But when we faced similar situations, the first stop was inevitably anger, self-pity, complaining and fault finding. Why? Because, we were not in sadhan when things were going smooth. We had excuses like ‘didn’t have time’, ‘we remember you a lot maam, but not doing hands-on’ etc. yes, I’ve said it myself million times and heard it from others too. It seemed a norm now. It took falling down many times for me to understanding the importance of being in sadhan and in touch with her. Just being with ‘her’ forced and questioned my way of thinking and behaving on regular basis and so it helped me to be in balance or to come back to balance easily when I fumbled now. As rightly said 

“दुःख  में सुमिरन सब करें, सुख में करें ना कोई 

जो सुख में सुमिरन करें तो दुःख काहे को होए "

Everyone prays or remembers in tough/bad times and never in good times

if one remembers/prays in good times, why would there be bad times?

Your character is defined by the way you behave in your 'good times'. In bad times everyone is humble and pleasing, it is in good times the person's character is in the open. A person who does sadhan even when there is no (big) problem  in life is the real sadhak and he is ever so happy!
