Ramayana and Rama - Indian Mythology
Contd.....
To fulfill our soul agenda we are to take decisions and every
decision has its repercussions and we on no count can escape that even if our
intention was right and act ‘selfless’.
Someone cut her explanation and asked “All that is right Guruji, but
you said it was the ‘curse’ that was the cause of ‘Sita’s banishment. Then Rama
need not bear consequences of that act. Even that ‘dhobi’ – washerman is not at
fault who questioned her purity. They were only being pawns – no infact
‘helpers’ in carrying out that ‘destiny’ called curse to happen. So why should
they suffer the consequences of their karma?”
Aziz immediately answered “forget the loan you’ve lent me then.
That’s how it was to happen. And tomorrow if you meet with accident don’t blame
the person who hit you, accept it as your karma”. We all laughed. Aziz had
funny way of explaining these Truths. Yes, we twisted Truths and Laws to suit
ourselves and hide our intentions. But whom are we fooling?
“We may fool or convince the entire world and assuming I am an
Atheist and God doesn’t exist, it may seen like picture perfect, but
unfortunately the entire world and even when and if God forgives my CNS
(Central Nervous System) doesn’t I am not punished for my acts of karma but by the
acts of karma” she closed her eyes and went silent.
That hit us hard “We are not punished for
Karma but by our Karma” So true! The session had gone on for quite long and we
wanted our much looked forward to tea break. Our Guru was lost to our chatter.
She sat with eyes closed. Over the years it had happened so many times that now
our chatter didn’t bother her and her silence didn’t interfere with our
chattering. We were comfortable in our respective zone in each other’s company.
Till now it looked good. But during our conversation I realized that it was sad
and we didn’t pick up a need to go into silence inspite of her proximity and
her setting an example. I didn’t know whom and what to applaud! Her tolerance towards
our attitude or our commitment not to practice what was taught by her living!
The loss of course was ours; but that understanding was lost the moment tea was
served. Our attention shifted to our cup and our ‘speck of realization’ was
pushed towards back of our head.
By the time we completed our tea, she (our Guru) opened her eyes.
