Me, My Guru – on keeping count in love

 

Me, My Guru – on keeping count in love

Today, the moment our Guru took her seat, she was bombarded with questions.

“Guruji, I’ve already done so much for my husband and my mother-in-law. Shouldn’t they be returning it to me? I no longer want to give. I hate them for all the pain I am undergoing because of them”.

“Even I’ve done so much to my company and yet my salary – they pay me in peanuts. I hate them for exploiting me so”

“I did pooja worth Rs.’X’ and yet my desire is not fulfilled. I hate God!”

“I did japam (chanting) mantra that you suggested ‘n’ number of times and yet I am not healed. How long do you want me to do this chanting?”

There clearly was anger evident in every question posed. They said “but, we are asking questions maam” but they weren’t questioning. They were ‘accusations’ in the guise of questions. They – or rather we all dumped our anger, frustrations and hatred on her. And we still called her Guru!? Therein lay flaw in our attitude and actions. This was the flaw that drew our ‘karma’ to us. And yet we thought she was responsible for our pain and suffering?!*

Tips to understand the post better :

*(!? = wherever this mark is, understand it as ‘both question and exclamation)

* And yet we thought she was responsible for our pain and suffering?! - see this closely! You’ll see how we wrongfully dump our negative energies on the person who ‘doesn’t’ have anything to do with it in the first place. How would you feel about a person who driving his car fast causes mud to fall on you – you who are standing by the road? 

Therein lay flaw in our attitude and actions. This was the flaw that drew our ‘karma’ to us. And yet we thought she was responsible for our pain and suffering?! - Many times we are angry at someone or something and we take it out on the other. Usually this other is the spouse, parent -especially mother, our children - Why? Because somehow we take them for granted. Our children can't shout back at us and so we use them to dump our negativities on them when we get back home. And then we justify saying 'I had such a bad day at office and i was having splitting headache..so when the kid came didn't do homework i shouted..' Issue is very simple but we burst out at the simple excuse because we couldn't address and handle our emotions of our office or personal life the right way...

Don't take mother, spouse, Guru, God or some one who is ONLY wanting good for you as your punching bag. Treat them right. What you give to the person who loves you comes back from the person who has power over you....you are getting what you have given - always remember that!

That doesn't mean 'you stop giving negativity because of it coming back.' Understand it right! You are hurting the person who is standing by you at all times as doormat or punchbag and that is bad. Think about it! And so, you shouldn't want to give that to the person who loves you, supports you and wishing good for you!!!
