Me, My Guru - On honesty!
“Nothing” she said smiling “not
every character stands for something as you suppose. Neither do those kids mean anything! What the
story has to offer is somewhere else and you are looking at unimportant aspects
of that story”.
Now we were confused for sure!
“Oh, we know this is just about
being honest” came a voice from behind.
“Well, sort of yes and no. It is
about honesty but that’s not all! We all want to run our lives our way. That is
we want to rule ‘our world’ – short we want to be kings of our ‘little
kingdoms’ and yet are always crying and complaining as to why we don’t get to
sit on that ‘coveted throne’ and rule our lives – the way we want to. How come
someone else does that and we lose out on that chance – every single time?” she
continued. “But we forget the basis of eligibility to that kingship is
‘Honesty’ – the basic attitude that we compromise on and we miss out on our
understanding of the Universal Law that “We get what we give”. How can we
expect honesty and trust from others if we are not honest? Apply it everywhere
and you’ll see the pattern come alive that explains the basis or basic cause of
our suffering.
If you want love, GIVE LOVE
If you want respect, GIVE RESPECT
If you want happiness, GIVE HAPPPINESS
If you want understanding, GIVE
UNDERSTANDING
And if you cheat, YOU GET CHEATING
AND CHEATED
If you manipulate, YOU’LL BE
MANIPULATED
If you give hatred YOU GET HATRED
If you are selfish YOU’LL MEET
SELFISH PEOPLE etc....
Each one gets what one gives. Each
is ‘eligible’ to his ‘kingdom’ the one he has ‘generated’.
We all desire to be ‘kings’
enjoying abundance of power, material benefits and comforts but forgot that we
sit on the throne that we generate on. Whether it is one of thorns or of petals
depends on us and our attitude and character”.
She left us for good.
Honestly this was not the first
time she talked about this but yet ‘kingdom’ part thrown in this time made it
more impactful. We each applied it to areas where our suffering came from and
this we, at least me got a peep into the reason for my suffering, I understood
why I got what I got, why I lived with people I do and lead the life the way I
do. Trust me, it wasn’t anything good. We each had to do lots of thinking and
so stopped talking for now and went silent – at least for sometime.....
