Ask and it shall
be given – Me, My guru
“Why every body
received differently though all were sadhaks?”
This was the
question that bothered most of us but the question kept being pushed by other
questions always. Today seemed to be the day of this question. Pallavi asked this question with irritation
and half accusing our Guru today even before start of the class. Her further
complaint was “Everyone is fine when I am suffering inspite of being in sadhan
as much as others”. We knew that she hardly was ‘in’ sadhan. She talked about
sadhan more than doing it. Yet, when it came to receiving she would complain
inspite of everything she received. We didn’t even consider her question worth
looking at, leave alone answering. But Guru being herself sincerely replied “In
a certain temple town lived a Saint who would go around the town daily at the
appointed time. He would notice all. At one gate of the temple, (Old temples in
India constructed long back had four gates and city developed around these
temples and hence these cities are called ‘Ksethras’ in Sanskrit and even in
their names. It means ‘field’. As these temple cities developed around the
temples, they became the ‘field’ – energy field, energy being that of the
temple. So, temples are called ‘punya ksethra’ meaning ‘pure field’). He saw a
beggar hale and healthy. This beggar was very lean few months ago when he had
first come to this village.
On the other
gate he found a beggar who was hale and healthy becoming weak, lean and sick as
days passed. This intrigued the Saint and he went up to the beggars and asked
“What is your prayer?”. The second beggar said “Lord, exhaust all my sins in
this very birth”. The first beggar replied “Lord, forgive me for all my sins”.
The Saint took pity on the second beggar and said “Don’t you think the Lord is
loving enough to forgive you off your sins. Seek his forgiveness instead of
exhausting your sins”. The beggar followed Saint’s advice and within few months became hale and healthy.
The Lord gives what we seek”. She looked at us all as she completed the story.
