On healing, Guru , God and all........

On healing, Guru , God and all........

Healing did not let miracles happen in our lives...

No, healing was not the wand that would be swung by someone and boom! the magic happens! It never is so.....


Don't believe anyone who says or declares so......

Any person who knows anything about healing wouldn't say so.....

Only the people who 'go around healing or teaching healing' to others by way of memorizing some sentences and stories would go around telling so as they know nothing about healing and how it works and why it doesn't .....

Then why healing and so many techniques?

It removes the blocks that stop the healing from happening in our lives that is being done by Nature, God and Guru's (those who heal and are in sadhan - not someone with some paper in their hand to declare them as so...)

and the second most important thing it does is it opens up our blocks (mental and psychological) ones which stop us from seeing and being open to all the miracles and healing happening around us.....

it gives us maturity to validate the work done by 'God, Gurus and Universe' by way of providing and protecting - whom we are so ever angry at and complaining about all our lives inspite of them fulfilling our umpteen wishes at every point of time....

Why?

Either because we have moved on to newer desires or have ended up being disgusted with the 'desire' that we so desperately wanted sometime back.....and now we are angry at them for having fulfilled it in the first place....

Please, take a break! Check within and yourself and ask "What exactly is my problem?"

If you yourself don't know and don't want to take time to know it, then what ever comes your way, you will forever be complaining about that - for sure!

So, before crying, complaining or being angry know why you want what you want and then take the next step...

and NO - NO ONE can make it happen in a jiffy for you....if you are not for healing then you can take the usual road of crying and gathering pity, seeking pity and putting the blame on to others for not living up to your expectations and not being there for you to fulfill your desires / wishes........

but the question still remains the same "but still you are where you are when you started - unhappy, angry, frustrated, selfish, hurtful and unsatisfied and in pieces......"


So, i repeat, ask yourself "How am i being a problem to myself? What is that 'wrong' decision that i take which always gets me to this place of 'no happy zone'?"

take time to talk to yourself and go within.....it is no short cut, but if you don't want to spend time with yourself knowing about self, then why would someone else be interested in being with you, knowing you and working for your happiness? 

On choices and freedom

On choices and freedom

“….freedom is all I want, but to ask for it I feel ashamed…”  said Tagore in “Geetanjali” that won him Nobel Prize for literature. And that ‘fact’ remains true even today! And so it will be tomorrow!

What does ‘freedom’ mean for most of us?

‘Freedom’ means leading life as one wants to. To not be answerable to any, to go wherever we want, do whatever we want and be how ever we want”.

Tell me what ‘freedom’ means to you and we’ll discuss about that! I’ll wait till you get back to me…..

we and our 'hard' work...

What are we working on?

Is there any purpose in our activites or are we just going around doing?

Do we know the purpose and then work towards its fulfillment or  just end up working anything that comes to us....?

What did we come to build/ make

and what did we end up building /make

we built temples somewhere and mosques else where

better are the pigeons than us

who sit sometimes on mosques 

and sometimes on temples.......

on self!

On Self!

अगर हम तुमसे ना मिले होते तो 
ख़ुद की कमी मेहसूस  किये होते। 

If i hadn't met you
i would have missed myself a lot....


Such a beautiful thought and so pregnant with meaning!

Think about it!

We miss people we meet in our lives for so many reasons....

People we miss are because they fulfill our needs, wants, desires etc....

but how many we miss in our life without whom we would not have met 'ourselves' or known 'ourselves'...?

Are you one such person in someone's life?

Do you miss someone for this reason?

Either way you would be the richest man on Earth if so.....

as you received the greatest benefit of 'self' through him.....

Debtor should seek the creditor. And he can’t question the creditor on the rules that he lays while giving loans. Accept it or not is your choice. If you want ‘that’ credit or benefit you need to abide by that rule or rules. Period! Just because you are angry or uncomfortable doesn’t make the creditor wrong or answerable to you!

The one at the lower level of hierarchy can’t question the one giving with regards to the rules of giving. We can’t question Nature on its Law! We either know it and use it for our benefit or to protect ourselves against its effect but can’t question its nature!

Like it or not – that’s how it is!

Reiki, Universe, Guru and God – they have their rules. You can’t question them! You still may but it doesn’t change anything. Just because you don’t understand, know or like ‘theory of relativity’ it wouldn’t cease to exist. Like-wise for all Laws!

They are there for a reason. We’ll never know them maybe or understand them even after several life times. Yet, it doesn’t change anything about them. Their modus operand will not change. They will be what they are. They know that! Whether to suffer them or not is the choice we can make. That’s all! Nothing more, nothing less!

And as simple and hallow as it sounds it is all we need to be happy, successful, content and peaceful! Yes, all this and more exists solely in ‘our choices’ that we make.

So simple and yet so difficult we make to live that ‘simplicity’!

I closed the gate behind me as I left her place. 'Did I close the doors of ignorance or opportunity that ‘she’ and ‘life’ had given me as I closed her gates?' was the last thought when I looked at the house that housed her. I sought her blessing to help me make ‘right choices’ as I turned around……

and after taking few steps asked myself "did I have enough faith in her to help her make right choices for me? did i surrender enough?" ......I knew the answer and the answer sought of bothered me for some time......

And then someone added “I think it also applied to life’s opportunities. River is the opportunity and we are not using them and stinking in our limited spaces and situations. And we are angry at others that they are lucky, successful and angry!”

“It could also mean we are happy in our mundane life and its pains and sufferings when the sea of joy viz. God or self awareness is just there at our reach and we put the blame of suffering on to fate etc.”

“Dirty pool could also mean our minds and river clarity and purity of thought…”

Whether we associated dirty pond with people, our mind or life situations it didn’t matter. What we compared river with also didn’t matter. Only thing that mattered was we were sure to miss the chance to let go off all that caused ‘stink’ in our life inspite of opportunities called ‘river’ in our life by putting the blame on to ‘river’ – that which was other than us, that which was helping us to clean ourselves, that which was our life saver and project our anger on to it and use it to miss out on a opportunity to ‘smell’ good.

I laughed at my own understanding. It sounded stupid yet true! That was our mode of operation which also reflected how and why we made choices that we made which in turn put us where we were – the right place to ‘stink’  and suffer.

Me, My Guru – A stinking frog!

Its friend tried to convince it “but why would it come to us. It is our need and want and so we need to come down here” and the other frog argued “I came as a kid to this very place, but then it was dry and so I went to that dirty pond. Now that it is full don’t you think it is its duty to call me or come to me?”

Its friend was at loss of words. It didn’t try. The stinking frog went back to its pond full of anger. It started stinking again but yet…..

The river flowed as ever!”

Having completed this story she left us for the day…

We didn’t know why she said that story. We tried to figure it out! 

Each came out with his understanding.

“The river meant Reiki, Guru or God – maybe! The complaining frog refers to us who are ever complaining that they do things for us unasked too many times! We put the blame on them. We judge them for our flaws, pains, sufferings and character”.

“We are more concerned and clear on how they should be and behave rather than work on ourselves..”

“and in the process are in our dirty pools of thoughts since we are angry at their actions and inactions..”

“Isn’t it funny that we KNOW and decide how they should be and yet say they are our guides, protectors and givers?!”

We all laughed at our own idiosyncrasies.

Me, My Guru – A stinking frog!

Me, My Guru – A stinking frog!

“There once was a frog that was rotting in a dirty pond though it didn’t see it that way. It got its feed and was content with its life in that small dirty pond. There was a stink that it carried with it all through the day and it didn’t like it. Yet, it couldn’t relate that with the pond which was dirty. It complained about it. It changed places, did various others things and yet felt miserable when its stink didn’t go away.

Then one day its friend frog that had left the pond for good sometime back came to talk of the mighty clean river that flowed outside the village. This frog didn’t stink any more. It was joyous and spent hours talking of the beauty of clean water in that river.  Our stinking frog couldn’t accept it but its friend kept insisting and so finally one fine morning they both went to the river side. The stinking frog was amazed to see the river. It dipped in its waters and stayed there for some time. It didn’t stink. Yet it wasn’t enough for it to see the connection. It felt closer to the pond that it had stayed in for all these years. Its emotions were disturbed but it didn’t understand them. They came out as anger on the river.

“How come this river never came over to me and clean me all these years? Is it not its duty to clean all who are dirty? What is the purpose of it being mighty rushing river if it doesn’t have such huge open heart?” and so on and so forth….

On choosing a master!

On choosing a master and being a 'shishya'

When you come before spiritual Guru get ready to get chastised. 

Guru's role is just that. If you wish to be his 'shishya' be ready to be chastised. 'Shishya' means one who is chastised or ready to be chastised. 

If you want to be someone's 'shishya' and are not ready to follow blindly what they say, then you don't become their 'shishya' inspite of being one in letter. I would rather you remain away from the person whom you feel you can't trust without questioning and following blindly. 

If a master has a rule a student can't be a student and yet question it. Decide if you want to be 'his student' or someone else. Because as a student you automatically lose the right to question your master....

If you can't believe the 'intention' of the master you seek to follow or be guided by, be away from such master.

If you think you know more than the master, then be away from 'such master'. 

If the 'integrity of master's character' is doubtful in your eyes, then shy away from him.

When you go to a master, you are going with a belief that he is capable of helping you see yourself for who you are! It is your duty to bring your 'trust' on him with you. It is not his job to convince you to follow him.

He doesn't need you - remember that!

YOU need him..

If your master needs you, then pity on you for choosing such a master....if your master is desperate to hold on to you or see that he doesn't lose you - even God can't save you from such a choice that you have made ..........
