Me, my Guru On Buddha and sweets

“But ‘let go’ is ‘let go’ said either by me or by Buddha. What difference should that make to the one to whom I suggest it?” asked Kshama confused.

“Our family members don’t listen to us. And Buddha is inspiring millions of people thousands of years after he has left his body. That difference is because of the ‘centre’ from which it is uttered” replied our Guru.

“I still didn’t get it” replied Kshama.

“And I get so angry at those people also at you – because people, listen when you say these things. But they mock me when I state the same. All because you are a “Master” and I am not” complained Vaishnav.

“Well, let me put it differently for you to understand it then. When a ball is hit by a boy of 5 years, it falls near. But, when the same ball is thrown by an athlete then it falls well beyond 500 mts. The ball is same, why is there a difference in the distance that it travels?

One, of course is the difference in strength of the individual. An athlete’s strength is much more than a mere kid.

Next, is the pressure with which it is hit.

Third, is the technique that is involved. And athlete knows how to hold the bat in right angel, hit the ball with which pressure, direction, direction of wind and so on” our Guru’s explanation surprised us a bit. 

And it became evident through Vaishnav’s question.

“But, words are words. What has it got to do with playing with ball?” he was more than irritated now.

Points to take into consideration : 

• Words are not empty.
• Words are energy filled with the person who utters it.
• Energy given out is responsible for what we receive in life..
