Me, My Guru – On death and healing
Krishna said “I can’t
explain but can give you an experience that shows what it is”.
Narada agreed to have
that experience. Krishna showed him a worm wriggling in the mud and asked him
to chant “Narayana” thrice in its ears. Narada did accordingly. The worm died
immediately. Narada came back confused and asked “Is that all?” Krishna showed
a butterfly and asked Narada to repeat the exercise. Nadara did so. The
butterfly died. Narada was taken aback.
Now Krishna showed him
a deer and asked him to do the same with the deer. Narada did so reluctantly.
As he expected the deer died immediately. Now he was a bit irritated too along
with being confused and frightened.
“Why are you killing
everyone instead of explaining in simple language to me?” he asked Krishna.
Krishna smiled and
showed him a calf now. But Narada said “I can’t kill a calf now. That would be
a huge sin”.
But on Krishna’s
insistence and lots of reluctance he repeated the exercise of reciting the name
of Narayana thrice in its ears. The calf too died!
Krishna replied with a
smile “for one last time go to the palace of King of Kashi. He’s blessed with a
son. Go and chant my name in the ears of that young prince”. So saying, he left
for Vaikuntam**.
*Kashi – also called
Benaras is a very holy place in India. It is the oldest inhabited city in the
India.
**Vaikuntam – place of
abode of Lord Krishna or Narayana

# Bhagavatam, Krishna and Narada, Healing and its effects, effect of chanting Lord's name, expectations, result, conditions, death, life
Points to be understood :
- Our prayers are always answered - just when and how is beyond our understanding sometimes nay many times. But just because we don't understand doesn't mean God is wrong.
- Have we looked into our expectations to know their nature and their control over our sanity and behaviour?
- Do we know how our expectations are driving us crazy? And all we are doing is going around like drunken monkeys biting everyone in our way and crying that it is because our expectation is not met.
- Just sit and meditate on your expectations. You will be surprised how easy it would be do away with your pain and suffering.
- In our ignorance we think fulfillment of our expectation will put an end to our suffering and pain when it is far from Truth!
Questions addressed :
- Why should I work on myself if and when my expectations are not met by people and life situations in my life?
- What is the relation between sense organs and our expectations?
- What is the relation between our expectations and our sufferings?
- How to put an end to our sufferings?
