Me, My Guru – On Gratitude!

Me, My Guru – On Gratitude!

Today’s session was on ‘gratitude’. We have heard it like a million times and yet she conducted these sessions. This topic was covered even in our Reiki Class and hence during initial days, I was reluctant to pay and attend a session on gratitude. I used to be surprised when I saw Rahul and whole lot of others attend it again and again paying such huge fees. When I asked them the reason they simply said “We still are complaining, suffering and in pain. And our Guru says ‘if you know the single world ‘Gratitude’ you’ll sing His praises with the lips that complain now. You’ll raise your hands in praise – the hands which you use to count your problems. You’ll dance with joy seeing His Grace where you are filled with envy and hatred today! Now you know the word ‘love’, then you’ll know what love is!”  We have ‘faith in her’ is not just a phrase for us but we do have faith in her word! If she says - it is! And if we are not able to see it, understand it or experience it then we have missed it. We’ve failed to grasp what she is teaching us and hence it is our responsibility to understand it, nto hers to teach us free of cost!

She has taught and yet if we haven’t learnt and hence are paying again to understand it atleast this time. We see a movie and if we like it, don’t we see it couple of times more. Then do we tell ‘people at cinema hall’ that we are repeating so don’t charge us? Don’t we happily pay? Don’t we pay ‘entry fee’ or fee for rides’ in an amusement park every time we go there? To Doctor we pay every time we visit and he doesn’t even give medicines, he just prescribes yet we pay happily. To a counselor you pay per visit and yet here you ask why? See, this is the attitude that we need to know about ourselves. To know our belief systems, way of thinking and why we think the way we think is what she teaches us or rather guides us through and yet.....”
