On receiving Grace

 Contd....

On receiving Grace

Next, we need to change for better and right way of living.

Last and most important – forgive others before seeking forgiveness for self. If you ‘demand’ forgiveness from God/Universe/Guru through Reiki, be the first to forgive your perpetrators.

If you come up with reasons to call them names, to justify your feelings of wanting to hurt them or killing them, so does Universe/guru have reasons to send to you what you deserve. If you still hold grudge on others, how can you receive ‘grace’?

‘Grace’ is received ONLY by the simple and pure in heart. Leave behind your lust, demands, hatred and being adamant and demanding – and lo! Grace flows from heavens above drenching you with abundance beyond your wants and needs. It doesn’t descent as per your worthiness but as per ‘His Capacity’.

Now it is up to us to decide if we will use Reiki to get things as per worthiness.

‘OR’

Use it to heal ‘our wrong attitudes’ and make us eligible to receive ‘His Grace’!

Choice is yours to make!

Right to choose is yours!

May your mind guide you to your betterment!

May you have clarity to see through your mind’s wrong sense of logic and arguments!

May you choose for your own good!

Points to understand :

• It is very easy to talk about 'what God/grace/healing' is supposed to do.
• It is next to impossible to accept that the problem lies within.
• It is next to impossible to look within.
• It is unacceptable to go within, be honest about self and address it.
• Blessed are the few who see that and walk that path.
• However small their steps are, blessed are those few who are the 'lights' of this world and they are the torch bearers for all the future comers to come!

So, What is your miracle of the day?

On receiving Grace

No one is left out of receiving consequences of karma.

So as you are happy when the wrong doer receiver punishment, then also know and accept, you’ll also receive consequences of your karma.

Then, what about Grace?

What about healing?

What’s the use of healing?

Healing doesn’t qualify a person to live a life of ‘adharma’ and get away with it.

Healing has stages to it.

First, you accept the way you’ve lived, acted, said, thought had been wrong and not as per dharma.

Second, which ever area you have been wrong, you’ll stop living the ‘wrong way’ from now.

It is like this – you know by drinking alcohol, aerated drinks* our system gets spoiled and yet you gulp down couple of bottles daily and are surprised that your organs has deteriorated over the years. And you are angry that Reiki didn’t help you?!

It’s like saying I’ll do Reiki and drive a bike at 200 kmph without helmet or brakes especially on a mountain range.

And you are proud of your logic and mind that comes with such arguments and statements to support your behaviour, desire and acts?

*(The great intelligent mind argues: But I don’t even drink tea or coffee maam…..really? That’s how you are processing this example? And you are falling on the logic provided by this mind to justify how you feel or why you feel? )

PS : If you have any other post from this blog related to this topic, give the link to it for all to benefit.

Points to be considered : 

• Are you using your intelligence and mind to justify your desires and actions?
• Are you using your intelligence and mind to find faults in others and their behaviour?
• If answer to one or both of the above questions is yes, then know that 'mind' of yours to be your 'best enemy'.
• You don't need any other curse from outside to traumatise you.
• Your mind is the cause of your suffering and pain.
• Your mind is the creator of your 'cursed destiny'.
• Your mind is the reason why you don't receive 'Grace' from any of these - God/Universe/reiki/guru
• Address your mind and then....
• Stop looking for the fulfillment of your desire. Stop justifying your desire. Start working on your mind! Be smart enough to use your desire, its fulfillment, your pain to know where the 'source' of your problem lies!

On receiving Grace

 

On receiving Grace

Dear one,

You have been wronged – I understand.

You are hurt – I understand.

You are denied your right – I understand.

And you are angry, hurt and frustrated – I understand.

You wish to see the persons who hurt you be hurt. You feel powerless, helpless and hopeless. You feel bad.

You can’t see the wrong having good time – I understand.

If, (I say – IF!?) he has wronged, he’ll suffer his karma – when his time comes.

If he’s slapped you today, he won’t be slapped tomorrow. That’s not how karma works!

It has its own timetable. But it’ll slap him!

There are no buts and ifs here – be rest assured!

“I love this ‘karma’. Every person who has hurt me will be dealt with” says you!

Look into this ‘Law’ closely. Does it say ‘special excuses to people belonging to XYZ category’?

No – Rama and Krishna (Both considered incarnations of Lord Vishnu – one of the Trinity Gods of Hinduism) weren’t left out of it!

No one is left out of receiving consequences of karma.

So as you are happy when the wrong doer receiver punishment, then also know and accept, you’ll also receive consequences of your karma.

Points to be considered : 

• What exactly is the Law of karma and how it functions?
• It is so easy to see the wrong done to us and justify our wrongs. That is the cause of pain and suffering!
• Clarity is when we can see our actions and others in the same light and apply same rule for both!
• What we wish for others is exactly what we are attracting for ourselves! Be aware of it!  

Share a thought or feeling : 

How does greenery make you feel?

What does looking at sunset affect you? 

or any such thought or feeling.....

A look at a tree or any of its parts - say flower, leaf, branch anything makes me stop then and there and marvel at the beauty of the life and the greatness of its Creator!

Trees in all their forms and shapes fill me with happiness and I am not aware of the daily 'painful facts' of my life! 

They enrich me with peace, smile and a twinkle in my eye!

Stories and all! He said, I said!

 

Stories and all! He said, I said!

He said, I said

He said “You don’t know what it is to be a single child with no siblings to share anything with! It is all about being lonely!”

He wasn’t talking ‘all’ in one go but seeing my go all wild, he kept adding one sentence after another to prove his point – that of his having pain and him suffering!

After he exhausted all his ‘reasons’ to prove his pain, I simply said “O.k., then – take mine!” (meaning – take my siblings to fill that gap in your life)

He rolled his eyes and all he said was “o.k, I get it and no thanks! I am good!”

# Stories and all series, pain, comparison, exchange of pain

also read : https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=Buddha+didn%27t+happen+in+a+day 

Points to take from this :

• We always are so 'deep' in ourselves, our pain, our desires, our expectations and fulfillment of our wants and needs that we have no energy, time and need left to look into others' pain, limitations, situations, issues and problems. 
• The day we set aside our 'ego' and look around us, we would do so much good to ourselves and our well-being.
• We would look into so much of suffering and tough challenges and situations that others face that ours would look so small in their comparison. Is that the reason for us to not look around?
• No one would exchange their headache with the other - then what are we complaining about? Think about it!

Various times of life!

Various times of life!

At times, all one needs is a break!

At times, all one needs is to be left alone!

At times, all one needs is acceptance.

At times, all one needs is a little push and bam!

If you have no such person – good! Look into your emotions. Find them. Seek their reason to exist and then heal them! Bam! The purpose of those emotions is fulfilled. That is the reason for a pain to exist – that you realize that there is an area that is bothering you. Then seek what is bothering you and then address it and then heal it and send it away from you.

At times, all one needs is a break down situation to transform him and his life.

And the best thing about all this is that no time stays so for ever. You may be in any of such 'times' in your life - be with it as it longs.

Now, you have made pain reason to heal pain. Now you have used pain to outgrow it. Now you have used that ‘logic’ of yours the right way! Now, the purpose of understanding is fulfilled. Now you are working towards your fulfillment and happiness.

So, what are you waiting for?

Do the needful!

Pain is the weakness seeking to be released from the body and mind - it is not an excuse to sit and cry! Remember that always!

Points to understand :

• Every pain has a purpose. It has an agenda to fulfill. When you look into it and heal it, the pain and the cause of pain - both get addressed and healed. The situation that caused the pain to exist also gets healed and we become free from 'that particular pain' and 'of that dosage'. This is the freedom which is a possibility with each one of us. 
• Pain if seen as an unnecessary and distasteful relative, all we are doing is getting irritated, angry, depressed, sad, hateful and doing wishful thinking that it goes away. 
• No wishful thinking can send pain or its perpetrators away from our life.
• We can use pain to outgrow it or sit and complain about it and seek pity and attention towards us. Our choice writes our destiny.

Questions addressed :

• What is the purpose of this pain right now in my life?
• Is there a purpose to pain also in life?
• What and how does my pain talk to me? What is it telling me?

Wrong use of logic and understanding :

Danger spot - It is clearly stated as 'all one needs is ...' - the great mind will immediately start the complain and accusation "yes maam, that is what I need and you are not giving me that....". I clearly stated that all one needs is....I didn't say "Every need is to be addressed with its demands or that I am here to fulfill every want and need of yours ". So beware of this line of thoughts. You can still entertain it. Your mind your thoughts! 

Every thought that crosses your mind is not right.

Every desire that drives you crazy is not anyone's duty to fulfill.

Every accusation is not a question to be addressed. 

Knowing each from the other is clarity of thought and the secret to be happy. 

Assuming what one thinks is right is the basis of suffering and pain.

Various times of life!

 

Various times of life!

At times, all one needs is a shoulder to cry on.

At times, all one needs is a person to stand by him.

At times, all one needs is a person who understands him.

At times, all one needs is an assurance.

At times, all one needs is clarification of a doubt that is bothering him.

At times, all one needs is a person who cheers him up.

At times, all one needs is a person to share silence with him.

If you have one such person in your life, don’t let him go. Cherish him. Value him right. Be grateful for his presence. Tell him how much and what he means to you while he is still around. People wait and reserve to tell good things about others till the day they are gone. They say all good things on the day of ‘Shraddanjali’. Don’t wait till then! He is gone. He can’t listen and won’t stay to listen to you. Don’t wait till then. Now is the time to tell and share – with him!

On life!

 

On life!

Life is such - sort of assorted cakes. You like some, you don't like some. You have tasted some and some you have avoided. 

Whatever flavour life throws at you or gives you - simply take it and eat it. Learn to relish it. Enjoy it! It may not be as expected but yet it was what you asked for. Enjoy!

It may not be what you wanted and yet be happy with the surprise that comes your way. Learn to appreciate it and see how to make it add value in you and your life. 

Life is all about tasting what flavour comes your way and relishing it - making sweet lingering memories that you would want to revisit again sometime in future.......

Just a query

 

Just a query!

Does anyone remember having read this story in this blog??

"...guru goes away to Himalayas and student stays back practicing meditation - guru comes back after 10 years and is shocked to see his student married......"

Same old, same old – Old wine in New bottle!

 

Contd….

Same old, same old – Old wine in New bottle!

Life treats all alike. It plays by the same rules with every one!

The one who while ‘stopping goes within, connects with himself, corrects his priorities, way of operation, behaviour, values, comes out of ‘rest period’ as a more balanced, happier, content and with clearer vision of himself and how to go about his job, relationship and his life in general.

Why all this talk now and again?

With the advent of New Year most of you must be expecting things to change for better. We naturally assume ‘everything to go to that happy place’ with the press of ‘New Year button’. It is not so! If only it was so, my job would be redundant and I would be spared of all this trouble too!

Then am I to be pessimistic?

I didn’t say that either!

This year will express itself it way! I can’t decide that.

But, the thing that I can decide and act is that this New Year I am going to look at things differently.

I’ll relate differently.

I’ll express differently.

And maybe , hopefully I’ll write differently.

I’ll think differently.

And for this ‘difference’ to be in the right direction I’ll still hold on to old story of regular sadhan, including more techniques in routine and working on being more aware.

Though, all is said in multiple ways and multiple times, most of the ‘sadhaks’ are way too far away from ‘this’ finish line.

So, our portion though would be more or less same, the way it’ll be dealt with will hopefully be different.

After every period of silence, if any of you have noticed, the writing has changed, the presentation has changed and I wish to believe it was for better. This way I don’t see a reason for it to be different than before.

Every break is beautiful. Every break is useful. Every break can be productive. Every break is needed. But all this is understood, accepted with right clarity of thought.

Every break is painful. Every break causes suffering. Every break is an excuse to complain. It becomes an excuse to seek favours. It becomes an excuse to attract attention to self and needs of self. It becomes an excuse to cling to others and justify being irresponsible, coward, undisciplined and above all to seek pity from others. All this and more when our logic is used to create pain and suffering in our lives. All this and more when our intelligence and energy is used to 'be' how we are and where we are as a person!

So - look at self to know how a break has impacted you. Learn from it and do the needful. 

Concluded…..

 (Indian calendar which is lunisolar based  begins with ‘Ugadi’ that falls in April. So, technically our New Year begins in April with Ugadi.

But with the influx of Western fads and fancies we have come to assume and greet each other ‘New Year Wishes’ on Jan 1^st.)

# hiatus, breaks in life, cycles of change, failure and success, expectations and conditions

 Pit falls : 

Why are we not able to learn the 'right lesson' from the right experience?

1.Basically because we use our logic to ask wrong questions.

2. Instead of asking questions like "how to make best use of my time/wait/situation?" we ask "When will this end?/ Why me?/ Why doesn't XYZ help me?/ " etc etc...

3. Instead of seeking solutions or ways to deal with the situation we end up praying/asking for ending the present situation.

Hard facts : 

Winners and losers both have and face more or less same situations, challenges and failures. But one concentrates on making the best use of it. And the other used all his energy in anger, crying, complaining, finding fault with others, being jealous of others etc etc.....

YOU decided whether you will come out of every situation a better or a bitter person.  

Any questions in this topic?

Area to be aware of and correct it when and if you find it: 

People accuse Reiki/ system of healing /Guru/people in life (and even dead)/ Universe/God in the name of "SEEKING ANSWERS". 

In the above case heal the anger, expectations, demanding nature, conditioning, desire ......

Why it is hard to listen to this suggestion?

Because we end up justifying our demands, feelings, emotions, actions and expectations instead of healing them!
