Me, My Guru – On attachments, faith and commitments....

Contd.....



     Me, My Guru – On attachments, faith and commitments....


“But what I am complaining about is that He fulfilled my desire. He knew I wouldn’t be happy ‘in this place’ and yet He brought me here. If He could see that why didn’t He stop this from happening?” complained someone.

“He works our soul agenda through our desires. He knows the lesson you need to learn as a soul. He also knows the ‘debt’ karma that you owe and you’ve decided to heal or clear in this life time. Such of desires that are instrumental in helping you fulfill these two ‘Soul Agendas’ are fulfilled thereby giving you ‘Ideal’ situation and people in your life that would help you to learn the lesson needed to grow as a soul and clear the ‘karma’ for which you’ve incarnated in this body of yours”.

“In that case all I’ve to do is take it as a punishment and suffer this life” came the voice from somewhere.


“If it was so, then you wouldn’t be here asking this question and learning techniques to heal this situation. Yes, it our karma that brings us here but He is gracious enough to give us a solution or a respite from it in the form of sadhan. Like, we fall sick thanks to our hard work and long years of bad food habits and life-style and yet he sends us various medical professionals to heal us – be it Ayurveda, allopathy, homeo, sidda and what not. Think before you talk..” she replied.

“How would healing help in these cases?” came another voice booming.

“By giving us charity of thought to see the situation objectively.

By giving us determination to heal it saying “If I’ve created it then it’s my duty to heal/cleanse it too!

By giving us strength and patience to tide through the tough times.

By healing the karma and redeeming us of such situation sooner than actual time and by changing the situation and attitudes of all people who were part of that ‘karmic debt’, thereby also letting us enjoy our ‘desire’ our way – though later than now.

By changing our attitude which actually was instrumental in getting into this mess in the first place”.

“Wow!”

“Oooo” were the sounds en masse as she completed her explanation. There was so much work to be done, done and we kept complaining like an adamant kid rolling on the ground asking for 3rd ice-cream inspite of having cold!”

The last part of her explanation hit us all! We had to go through that many more times. It was huge. It was vast. We took the much needed tea-break. She left us to fend for ourselves. Boy, were we glad!
