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




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


Contd.....

No sooner had she sat that someone asked “so that means I should stop healing people as it would mean I am intervening in His plan as sweeper...”

I smiled. Years ago that would be me asking that senseless question. How many moved ahead didn’t matter to her or even God. They always were ‘attacked’ by such sincere students asking such profound questions. The amount of time we suffered ignorance, stupidity, arrogance seemed less when it was being suffered by her ‘forever’ thanks to the ‘new flow’ of students always adding to the already present ‘great minds’. And over and above that was the contempt received by her in exchange for all that she gave us! Boy, am I glad I am not ‘a Guru’!

“Sweeper was to not ‘act’ as per God’s command; I didn’t hear any of His such command. Did you get to see or hear Him?” she asked with a mischievous laugh. I would’ve taken that as contempt for me and asked that student to leave but she....where did she draw her patience and love from? How long did it take her to come here?


“Since we didn’t we are to follow His teachings from Gita “Do your duty and leave the fruits to me”. We are to play our roles as per ‘Dharma’ and fulfill each and every duty of ours – only rule being we shouldn’t condition the outcome but surrender it to him – not let go off our duties. Hope its clear now” she closed that session.

“But when we are angry, in pain and depression, how can we sit to heal? If we come out of it we would heal” this was one more great mind seeking answer.

“Once students complained to Guru saying “Guruji, it’s next to impossible to let go off anger. It comes in such gushes that we are swept off our balance. What do we do to control it?”
