Me,
My Guru – Indra and I
By
now, he realized he was good at growing grass and so decided to grow rice in
his land. He started tending the land. it soon took shape of lush green fields.
He added vegetables too. Now, he didn’t have to go to village seeking alms. Morn
to evening, his day was fixed. It revolved around fields, cattle and cat. Where
was the time to meditate or practice any special exercise?
Of
course, he was right. I mean, where he went wrong. He did nothing wrong. He was
just doing all right and necessary things like all of us! Most of us nodded our
heads in unison to that.
“But
what is wrong in that?” I asked confused.
“He
is a sanyasi. His job is to go within. But with one temptation and an excuse he
went out into the world” replied Rahul.
“But we all do that!” I answered. “And that is right. How can it be wrong?”
“Let’s discuss after the completion of this story” so saying our Guru stopped us.

Points to meditate on and get clarity of thought on :
- What is the purpose of working for 'material targets'? Is it our need or want or luxury?
- What is the basis of our greed or need?
- Is our fear reflecting out as 'need for security'?
- Are we considering earning more out of fear?
- Are we using people to gain materials? Is it right way of living? Are we content with the results?
- Are the relationship problems in our life based on this 'value system' that people in our life are the means to fulfill our material gains.
