Fear of society – Me, my Guru

Fear of society – Me, my Guru

Today we all were bit depressed and felt lost. We didn’t exactly know our feelings and the emotions that ran through us. The news that hit us and the nation today had shaken us in many ways. In some way we were glad that we made it to our Guru’s place. Not that she would make the situation any better but atleast we felt safe in some way there.

She didn’t answer many of our questions – maybe she had but chose not to let us know that!

It is even possible that she gave us “the answer” but we either ignored it as it didn’t fit our definition of answer or that it was not the answer we were looking for.

It is also possible that we didn’t “see” the answer when it was given to us. 

Whatever! Today and such days we didn’t come seeking answers. We just came seeking some solace. We wanted to be near her as that did wonders to our agitated mind. It calmed us and gave us hope and courage to face our realities.

“Guruji the criminals were shot dead today. The justice was met and this was something we all had wanted since long. And yet when it happened it sort of shook us. Unknown fear came over us! I can’t exactly say why and for whom. But fear gripped us and I started to cry out of fear! Throw some light on this today please!” That was Deepa asking that question but it was a question we all had and the feeling we all carried today.

# hatred, violence, killing the wrong, anger, fear, correcting the wrong, punishment, justice, listening after asking questions, listening to receive solutions, on blaming or thinking the cause of our pain and suffering to be outside

Questions answered :


  • Why she doesn't answer my questions?
  • Why she gets irritated with my doubts?
  • She doesn't answer my questions and moves on. Why?
  • Why we are sad, angry and fear even when our wishes do come true?



Points to be understood :


  • Do we really know to "LISTEN" to answers when we ask questions?
  • Which attitude of ours is responsible for us not being able to get an answer even if given and keeps insisting on repeating the same question again and again in the name of 'asking questions and clarifying doubts'.......
  • Do we seek an answer that is 'right' or are we demanding results or action from the other party when we say we are asking questions/doubts?
