Ask and it shall be given! - Me, My Guru



Ask and it shall be given! 

Contd......

But we sat and put our heads to understand what that story had to offer to us. Each gave his insight – which most of it was right but only partly. We understood what we ought to only when we put all our insights in one place.

(I didn’t bother on who said what and just noted down the conversation)

“I think it means we need to trust His ability to forgive us and seek it more than being guilty of our sins”

“...His ability to forgive?”

“O.k. His unconditional love for all !”

“Our Guru once said that even God may forgive us for our sins but our Central Nervous System doesn’t. How do I relate it here?”

“by forgiving ourselves...”

“...easier said than done....”

“What if I don’t even realize or agree that what I did was wrong in the first place?”

“Then there is no question of healing at all. All this talk and discussion becomes redundant in such cases. We are looking at cases where the person knows his sins and is regretting having made it”.

“Then forgive self and then seek forgiveness from the person who’s been hurt and also not to repeat it. All this exercise goes down the drain if the act is repetitive”

“The moment we realize that we’ve sinned, it is not complete acceptance if it doesn’t make me humble enough not to count others sins and judge them”

“Well said, bravo!”

“May be it means much more than sin and forgiveness? It means “Ask and it shall be given”. Maybe, the basis of our very pain and suffering is our asking for it”

“Who would pray for pains and suffering?”
