Me, My Guru – on keeping count in love

Today I understood that even in religious rituals laid our ego. Even in sadhan we flaunted the number of chanting we did to others as if to prove to them how religious or spiritual we are! Why else we put our pooja photos as our ‘status’ in social platforms? For us even going to temples were to 'show to others' especially in social platforms. Where are we going with all this?

Our ego was everywhere…

Like that milkmaid, we had to learn not to count our sadhan as work. That milkmaid taught us how to deal with our family on day-to-day basis. A simple milkmaid – and how simply in such simple act our Guru found answer to all our accusations? Now, I know why only Gopis could love Krishna with such gay abandonment. We can’t ‘receive it all’ until ‘we forgot ourselves completely’. As long as our ego existed in our relationship and our dealings we would miss out the real purpose of having these relationships in our life.

The sheer impossibility of this task over whelmed us. But an understanding that our ‘big and complex problems’ actually had such a simple solution relieved us of our hopelessness.

Now it was fight between our carelessness, adamant nature, laziness and stupidity on one side and clarity of thought, commitment towards our well-being, acceptance and determination to work towards our freedom from pain and suffering. Let’s see who wins!
