Me, My Guru – Indra and I

We are under the wrong notion that ‘spiritual powers’ are to be used to live a physical life and enjoy comforts and abundance of this physical world. Therein lays the problem. It is not so. We are not human beings come here for spiritual experiences! We are spiritual beings come as human beings to use human conditions for spiritual growth! The day you see it this way, the way you relate with life and its conditions and experiences will totally change!

Just like it is ‘duty’ of the child to study, it is ‘duty’ of ‘human life’ to develop good qualities and drop asuric qualities. The child is also allowed to play. Similarly, a human can also have things of this world. Just as it is ‘wrong’ for child to play always or go after every ‘toy’ that he sets his heart on, similarly to clamor or go after ‘every desire’ of ours is ‘wrong’. These desires may be the ‘normal ones’ and what you argue as ‘must’ and ‘everyone having’ – yet! The way you become desperate for them is wrong. That is the cause of your pain and suffering. Non-fulfillment of your desire is not the reason for you to suffer. No person in your life is reason enough to suffer. Your expectations, conditions and state of mind are the cause of ‘hell’ that you are experiencing.

Wake up and reclaim your life! Stop pointing fingers at others. If you are adamant and stick to your own reasons, logic, mind and its arguments – well enjoy the stay in your hell. But, those who actually have had enough of this suffering, get up, own up your emotions, meditate and look into the base of your desires and heal them” she stopped, looking at us sipping a glass of water.
