on why people keep finding fault even with 'saints' and Gods?
Contd.....
Because,
it was Rahul and Aziz, they could grasp so fast and faster was their
application. I can’t let go of anger on such people so soon. I guess the
difference between regular and sincere sadhak and irregularly regular sadhak
shows in such occasions. But they were right. I never knew what it meant to
‘hate the sin and not the sinner’. But now it was clear to me. Would I put it
to practise was a different question altogether. Atleast, now I knew its
possibility – so far so good!
I
like many was good at converting something ‘nice’ into a reason to complain,
fight or get irritated. ‘She’ was the one who converted even ‘accusation’ into
something beautiful worth learning. This difference in transmutation property
made her a ‘Guru’ and me a regular complaining ever unhappy disciple. She said
there is silver lining in every cloud. Everything inspires you to be a
beautiful Divine person. And people like me said there is cloud for every
silver lining. We found everything and every person working to bring out our
asuric quality. We felt we had to be ‘sly, manipulative and all that’ if we had
to stay afloat among these wolves.
She
was right. Circumstances don’t make or break us. We used them to make or break us. From now on we would look only at the
principles and acts and not bother about the person. Well, kahane mein harz kya
hai – well, we don’t lose anything by making such promises. But then aren’t
promises made to be broken?
What
happened in the rest of session was just regular stuff. And as far as learning
was concerned, we were done for the day! Ok, we had just picked up something
worth applying! Atleast, we did that much. Today didn’t go waste. This day in
our life was worth lived just for this ‘thought that we picked up’. We
congratulated ourselves on this achievement and left for our respective homes and our routine life. But did we return the
way we had left our homes? I hope not! I wished not! But that was for time to
tell and I can wait.....i mean, where’s the hurry?
