Me, my Guru – on  heaven and hell

When Alexander had sent soldiers Master didn’t lose his temper. He was calm and so gave reply befitting a Master. He was in heaven.

When Alexander heard Master’s reply, he was calm and he sent ministers with gifts. It was his arrogance that made him to flatter Master with gifts and praise and get him to do as he Alexander pleased. He was creating hell for himself with this strategy.

Seeing through the acts of Alexander, Master gave a befitting reply. He did not fall for Alexander’s shallow words and acts. He was Master indeed. And thus he stayed in the heaven he had created for himself.

Alexander’s ego created desperation to seek Master who was of rare kind. He hadn’t met someone not enticed by his power and riches. He did not seem bothered to irk him either! That was intriguing to Alexander. So, he set to meet the Master.

When he met the Master he expected the Master to behave in a certain fashion. Wasn’t that Master supposed to give Alexander the treatment befitting an Emperor? Master did not fulfill his expectation. Alexander lost his temper and raised his sword to kill the Master. By giving way to his anger he created his hell!

Then the Master said “And here is hell?” Lo! Alexander saw his folly caused by anger lead by his expectations and ego! He stopped. His sword did not taste the blood of the Master. With his restraint he created his heaven.

He did not become great by controlling or winning battles with brutal force and strength. He became great by winning over his own ego and anger!

Questions answered : 

• Who is befitting to be a Master?
• How to become great?
• How to win every time in life?
• How does going within create heaven for me?
• What are the qualities that decide 'heaven and hell' for us?

Points to be assimilated in life:

• What happens to me is based on so many factors. I can't control them all. But how I respond to them is within my reach. And I can very well control that.
• By channelising my energies on how to respond instead of 'how things and people should be' I move from suffering state to happy state of existence.....
• I need not change the world. All I need to do is change myself and the world I reflect changes for me!
• Look at the points that helps a person create heaven and work on developing them.
• Look at the attitudes that create hell for a person and heal them, transform them and transcend them.

Life hacks :

Today, I put my favourite 'tea' in 'high flame' and lo! the vessel was burnt as I was busy posting blog for you guys.........

moral : 
1. Don't put the flame in high if you are not going to be there while cooking.
2. Don't multi-task if your awareness level is not good enough

Lessons Learnt :
1. You say "well, she doesn't follow what she preaches" and I feel "I lose so many utensils for these kids and yet my work goes unrecognised". Situation being same for both, our expectations from each other comes from where we see each other. It comes from our perspective of the issue. The perspective reflects where we stress the 'point of seeing'. 
Because of this variation in perspective and angle of observation, we miss out on learning the "actual lesson" and go on the 'judging trip'.
2. My love for tea is known to all and yet I burnt the utensil. I became unaware of it. Meaning - my love for writing is much greater than that of drinking tea. The joy I get out of writing is much much more than my joy I get out of drinking my favourite drink in the world! 
Truth -  Between our both loves/desires/joys we select or concentrate more on the one which gives us more satisfaction.
And because I wanted to go back to writing faster than needed I put tea on high flame so that I could drink it fast and go back to writing. Result, tea was burned! 
Truth -  when we hurry something it gets burnt. The job becomes more cumbersome and tedious as we have to work more to get it fulfilled. 
When we are in a hurry to have one desire fulfilled, 'our hurry energy' becomes the 'energy that creates mess' and slows down the actual process thereby causing the 'delay' of something that we so want to happen now and here!
3. Put your tea - the desire you so long and want on low flame or it will get burnt and delayed!
4. Anger is the fire that burns the vessel that makes the tea. That vessel is your body, mental makeup, aura. 

So - Cook on sim flame - be it food for body or for your soul!

Think - What  desire of yours are you cooking on 'high flame'?


Now what is the 'low flame' here that I am saying? And what will get burnt? and how does it effect my desire?

Some see this incident as 'reiki not working for me/why did my tea/utensil get burnt even after doing reiki regularly? or as things going wrong/not as expected' - reiki gave me patience and clarity of thought to see 'beyond the incident that occurred'. This is the result of 'regular healing' for me. The little bulbs of understanding that lights up under such 'painful and suffering and not accepting situations' is the few of the best 'reiki miracle' that happens on daily basis in my life!

By taking away that which is perishable, it gives me that which is permanent! What more can I ask of reiki?! If this is not a miracle, I don't know what is!
