Me, My Guru – On Empty
boat
After sometime, as we
were talking among ourselves our Guru got up and left! Swetha got up to leave
but Aziz stopped her and asked “Guru may come back. Why are you leaving?”
She smiled and replied
“I came with a question. She answered even without me opening my mouth. My
question being answered, I am leaving to put it to practice”.
“What was the
question?” asked Rahul “if you don’t mind sharing with us…”
“Oh no” she replied
“because of someone’s decision, I had lost few hundreds. And I was boiling. Even
after doing so much sadhan if I am to bear this loss, then what is the point? I
actually was boiling with anger when I entered here. But our Guru started the
session with this story even before I could open my mouth to vent out my anger.
Having received my answer, I am leaving” she was calm and smiling now.
I was surprised. So, I
didn’t miss anything and yet I didn’t understand the story or take anything
from it. I attended our session from the start. But this girl received her
answer?!
“But what is the answer
that you received” I asked a bit surprised.
“That, I like that monk
need to address my junk inside. Otherwise every ‘empty boat’ that touches my
boat can irritate me, anger me and question my faith! Empty boat represents
every person and situation in my life. Whatever happens in life isn’t the
problem. The anger was ‘always’ there in me. It just found its expression
because of that ‘empty boat’. Problem is not the empty boat of my life. Problem
is all that is within me! And so I am going to heal myself!” so saying she left
the premises.

Think about it :
Do you have 'empty boat' in your life?
What and how does that hit you and disturb you from your peace?
