Me, My Guru – on keeping count in love

She was a bit tensed as she re-ran her accounts. Her friend chided her saying “What about the milk you gave your lover? Did you count that?”

The milkmaid immediately retorted “Does anyone keep count of what one gives and how much one gives to his lover? Forget that and help me with my count”.

They all laughed and left after a while.

Now, there was a sanyasi lying on the other side of the tree. He was not visible because of thick foliage. He had been meditating for past 10 years in the jungle since the day he took sanyasi and yet he was not happy with the progress. One day he said “God, I’ve been meditating so long and yet you haven’t made me ‘realized’. I’ve even counted mantras ‘n’ number of times. And yet, with no fruit. I doubt if YOU exist. I don’t think I need to waste my time on such God!” He had left his place in jungle. Being tired, he lied down under this very banyan tree.

Some posts are very simple but effective...said in very few words and yet those few words encompass all that needs to be said...and the above link is one such post (for me!)

Tips to understand the post : 

"One day he said “God, I’ve been meditating so long and yet you haven’t made me ‘realized’. I’ve even counted mantras ‘n’ number of times. And yet, with no fruit. I doubt if YOU exist. I don’t think I need to waste my time on such God!” He had left his place in jungle. Being tired, he lied down under this very banyan tree." - Even a casual way of talking or speaking on God is answered immediately - if only we know where and how to listen. Our every question is answered. But being adamant about even the answer to receive and the way we want to receive it, we don't take the answer and help that is sent to us!!! And then cry 'maam/God, why are you not coming to my help/aid/answering my question?'
