Ask and it shall be given - Me, My Guru

Contd.......

Ask and it shall be given - Me, My Guru



“Then what can we desire for?”

“Anything and everything just not put the burden of your happiness on its happening and on it”

“mmm, you’ve lost us....”

“Well. When we have a desire say of ‘getting married, we assume it to be a destination of ‘marriage’. We think our troubles end with marriage and we’ll be happy ever after Marriage, when in actuality that is not the case”.

“Yes, we get mother-in-law free with marriage!” added someone and everyone laughed.


See, just exactly my point. We consider all that comes with marriage as ‘problems’ and ‘parasites’. We don’t see it as a package. We eat burgers and pizzas and all that which takes us to develop BP, sugar or cholesterol. Yet we eat and when we are diagnosed with these diseases we don’t fight with people who sold these food items to us. We don’t link both though they are inter-connected. We treat disease separately and in most cases still holding on to our ‘wrong’ food habits”.

“What’s the point?” asked someone with a bit of irritation.


“I was coming to it but your patience gave way. Well, just as we treat these diseases separately, we should treat every issue that comes in our life separately. For example, if there is a relationship problem or some other problem that comes up after marriage, then don’t crib saying “see inspite of getting marriage after doing Reiki I am still suffering. Don’t link an event with the issues that come later to it. As long as we have to live with people we’ll have difference of opinion. I mean, who doesn’t? That doesn’t mean we leave marriage or job or start complaining that my marriage or job is not giving me happiness. Every event in life comes with a package. Marriage and job are just ‘stations’ of life. They are never the destination of happiness. From there, your next journey starts and it will certainly have its ups and down. Only singing sweet songs happens only in bollywood – not in real life”.

“You are killing the joy of marriage or job or any desire that we have. Yo mean to say that we have to ever be in pain and suffering?”
