Ask and it shall be given - Me, My Guru
“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?”
“That’s your
choice! I, Rahul, Aziz are happy inspite of being married and our challenging
jobs. Not because our spouses are ‘perfect’ or our jobs are very easy. No. But
because, we didn’t expect them to be ‘perfect’ in the first place. Like-wise,
we’ll end up having relatives from in-laws side just as crazy, diverse and
specimens as in our family. Just as we deal or have been dealing with our
relatives since birth, we’ve learnt to deal with these new set of relatives
too! Some (especially those who are closest) we’ve done emotional healing and
mended our relationships too. Few others we’ve developed indifferent attitude –
especially those whom we meet once in a while types and move on. And we do
reiki regularly to give us clarity as to how to deal with different people
differently. Because at the end of the day, the same ‘Narayan’ is in him as
much as ‘He’ is in me. We remember that more often when dealing with others”.
“True, true, we
say “Lord, why are you trying to push me into Maya by behaving in such mean
way” and then we are at peace”.
Even I found it
so profound. These were my friends. I didn’t know that they were dealing in such
a manner. Yes, this was what was told to all of us in the class. But, we
listened, complemented on it and forgot about it. But these noble souls were
putting it into action. No doubt, many
times I felt they have journeyed far beyond my point. I envied them for it. But
what they did was something which even I could’ve done but choose to ignore.
And yet I directed my envy onto them. Was that fair? But since when was ‘fair
game’ part of our emotions and their related ‘logic’?
“People’ll be
difficult in life in every walk of life until we learn to win them over with
love. When Jesus, Krishna, Gandhi and Vivekananda have people talking nonsense
about them, plotting against them, hating them and even killing them, you and I
are nothing”.
