Me, My Guru – on being hurt and
hurting
“Guruji, what do you do when you
are hurt? Why do you keep it to yourself when others hurt you? Don’t you feel
like lashing out on them?” asked me being really angry on someone in my life. I
had complained about others couple of times and she had given answers that made
me look either stupid or wrong. So this time I chose the different path to
bring out an answer that cooled my senses. I asked her to explain her stand.
Little did I expect her to start a story there?
“Once a woman who had committed
adultery was brought out in public place and everyone who had gathered there
were to stone her to death. That was the punishment meted on such ‘woman who
had committed adultery’ in those days in those tribal clans. Just then Jesus
Christ intervened and sought an explanation for the whole commotion. When he
was explained the situation and the punishment, he said “Let one who has never
sinned throw the first stone at this woman”.
One by one they left and the woman
was spared of that gruesome punishment. Jesus looked around and asked “has no
one condemned you?” to which that woman said “no one has” and then he replied
“neither do I. Go forth and live a sinless life”.
I can hold others responsible for
their acts the day I don’t commit any sin – be it even anger even in my
thoughts!” saying so my Guru left.
