Me, my Guru
On assigning values ...
At first we were blank and then when we repeated that question,
then we realized that our answer lay in that story. It was then that we all
started telling our version of understanding.
“I read this story in whatsapp”Vijaya said.
“And yet you asked your question and your life is where it is?”
Eshwari asked.
Vijaya bent her head. She seemed to envy our Guru at some level
and so said such statements thinking of insulting her or demeaning ‘her’
explanation. But, Eshwari put her to place with that question today.
When we were done exchanging
our views, Eshwari capsule all our insights into a single para thus “How this story applies
to life situations - Just like in the story, each of us values the situations of our
lives depending on who we are! One sees
opportunity where the other sees ‘a problem’ or ‘end of road’! The value one
assigns to the situation depends upon oneself!
When
applied to relationships it read something like this – the most selfish would be
irresponsible pushing the work on to others – usually these are the people who
talk more about ‘duties’ and ‘responsiblities’ and find fault with others when
they themselves are nothing but personifications of laziness and bundle of
insecurities.
The little better than them
are those that bear the brunt of being the ‘scape goat’ for duties and suffer
all through their lives – thanks to first type of people in their lives.
The more sensible are those
that find a middle path of fulfilling a responsibility. They see to find a way
where no one suffers. They don’t crucify people in the name of ‘duty’ and
‘responsiblity’.
Ramesh wasn’t behind and
continued “even my boss is like that. He loves to hurt me”. Like-wise,
everyone started talking about people who were vicious enough in their lives to
hurt them in every way!
