On receiving






….contd……

Kavitha brought tea with cups and saucer and placed it beside her and waited. Our Guru simply with a nod of her head asked her to go and take her place. Kavitha went and sat in her place.


Our Guruji started pouring tea in a cup. The cup was filled and the tea started pouring onto the saucer. She still kept pouring. Srinivas sitting just beside her and fro whom tea was being served said hurriedly “Guruji, the cup is already filled. It is overflowing”.

“So?” asked Guruji surprised.


“You can’t fill it further” he answered a little confused.

“Exactly! Just like a cup that is filled with tea can’t be filled more even with tea, we can’t be filled with happiness and abundance when filled with negativity from within”.


“I am sorry, but I didn’t get you” said Srinivas a bit confused. Confusion was writ all over his face.


“We carry anger, resentment, frustration, disappointments towards people. We carry feelings of fear, guilt and pain also all through the day. Not only this we nurture emotions like hatred, dislike for years on end. How much can this body contain? It is already filled with these qualities and they get discharged into this Universe. What we give our, we receive. As we give these negativity we receive them in abundance. Now tell me how can we receive abundance or happiness in our lives?”

“True. True” said Srinivas lost in thought. “Then what do I do to receive happiness in my life?”

“Simple. Let go of these negativities and fill yourself with positive and divine energy”.

“How?”
