Angulimaan, the Saint



Contd….

Angulimaan, the Saint
Guru is always aware of your movements, needs and you. He comes at the required time.

Buddha went into the forest fully aware of the danger that awaited him. Guru can only make you aware of your follies, short-comings, setbacks and yourself but it ONLY up to you to decide whether to work on it or not. Buddha was doing his duty as a Guru. He couldn’t decide the outcome of it. It could’ve gone other way too! Guru plays his part of being there for you, telling you, addressing you and showing your true self to you. But YOU decided whether to be his student or not. You decide to follow him or not. You may choose to let go off a Guru in search of Guru in other persons, there by taking wrongs decisions at wrong time which could affect you for life times to come. So I say at the point of being repetitive, beware of changing your Guru!
Angulimaan saw his mother coming towards him and decided to kill her anyhow to complete his oath. See to what levels we get clouded by our ‘vrittis’ or nature! And then use all our intelligence and energy in justifying our actions but to what use? Good that Destiny decided otherwise and he saw Buddha walking on the path.
