Need for pain

 

Need for pain

There was a small boy named “Abhas” who loved singing so much that he would be singing to his parents, family and friends all through the day. But the most painful and sad fact was that his voice would break into coarse, grating noise while singing. His family would tease saying it sounded like bamboo being split into two. Yet, he continued singing. People would shut their ears when he opened his mouth to sing.

One day he smelt something good coming from the kitchen and expecting his mother to cook his favourite dish he ran into the kitchen. And lo! He ran straight into the chopper and he cut one of his toe and the knife dug deep into his feet. He bled excessively and his family took him to the Dr. who somehow could save the toe but the pain remained unattended as there was no painkiller those days.

The little boy kept crying out of pain for several hours every single day for weeks and a month later his throat cleared and voice became melodious.

The little boy “Abhas kumar Ganguly” went on to become one of the musical trio of Indian film Industry – Kishore kumar!

We in our innocence ask for wishes way beyond our capabilities, abilities and worthiness. Sometimes time is also not right. But the heart wants what it wants!

The result – the wish comes true but with the price of a pain that needs to be borne before its fulfillment. Pain is not the ‘sadistic pleasure’ God / Universe derives from us against our desire! No it becomes the way to fulfill our desire.

Only crying at that level and for so long could have cleared his throat that way that he could without even formal musical training be considered one of the best voices and singers of all times to come!

Greater the fight, bigger is the medal!

Bigger the war, greater the reward!

Questions answered : 

• Why is there a pain?
• What is the purpose of suffering?
• Why do things fall apart?

points to understand :

• There is a purpose for every event in our life. Some understand,few know and majority just keep finding fault with it.
• Purpose of an event can only be understood by the majority of people in retrospect. Have patience, you'll understand what is happening with you today - somewhere in future.
• Every pain brings with it some benefit hidden within it. Only time reveals it at the appropriate time. Wait for it and as you wait, develop right attitude, be in sadhan and be prepared for what is in store for you in future.
• Things when in chaos have to fall apart to bring order in them. 

Share any other insight you have in this regard. 

meditate on  your pain and suffering to understand it correctly.

go back in your past to understand this correctly. 

Never try to understand or gauge what benefit you are to get from today's pain and suffering. You never can understand that! You will only end up being angry and start accusing Reiki/Guru/God unnecessarily. 

Just FYI : completed 1/3 of MM target of 25,000 chanting.....i.e., 8000 times. That means 80 malas completed. 

Hope you are doing as per your target set. 

I had given few HWs and works to do for few of you for next 3 months to come. Hope you are following up the work allotted to you!!!
