Me, my Guru – On ability to know our karma!

“Guruji, do you have powers to know your karma? Do you know your karma?” asked I

“Guruji, have you seen God? Does HE actually exist? What is your relation with Him?” asked another at the same time.

“Every time I look at my life, the question of my karma is obvious and clear. And, whenever I see beauty and goodness in people I know God exists. Wherever people who follow “Dharma” are respected, valued, celebrated and looked after well, God exists there” our Guru replied with a smile “and He exists whether or not I know Him. But till I know Him my existence is no existence. That much I know” she concluded.

I learnt one important point or law as I would later realize. “Don’t ask questions, the answers of which you are not capable of handling”.

On essentials to live life!

 

On essentials to live life!

Everything, I repeat, everything in this world and life is there for us to develop the qualities that expresses our grandeur. These are the qualities like patience, discipline, forgiveness, oneness, selflessness, love, empathy, compassion and so on.

All those qualities that suppresses our grandeur are the ones that need to be dropped by us. Some of such qualities are irresponsibility, indiscipline, stupidity, laziness, procrastination (postponement), judging others, fault finding and so on....

Life, its situations and people in our life are the part of stage that is set for us to imbibe such qualities that benefit us. People are given to us to practice sharing, forgiving, caring, telling truth, being honest, being benevolent etc.

When we assume people and life are there to give us joy - well, that wrong understanding and belief system is the cause of all our pains and sufferings.....

Request for healing!

Request for healing! 

Small boy who is below 2yrs is undergoing cancer treatment - chemotherapy now....he is unable to take the treatment. Those who wish can send reiki for him as per your convenience. This boy is Naveen's nephew undergoing treatment in Rainbow Hospital....

Two Reiki channels are excellent when it comes to healing such cases - the moment they get to know of such cases, they start sending Reiki to the needy immediately. 

1.They don't sit to ask 'useless and irrelevant' questions. 

2.They don't expect anything from it.

3. They don't demand any returns for the same.

4. They themselves have never asked for any healing be it for themselves and their issues or their family members too....they heal all their issues on their own - however painful or serious it may be...

5.They are professionals working from morning 8/9 to evening 8/9pm and later many times....yet they don't consider that an impediment to take time to heal such cases....

6. They sit at night minimum of 1-2 hrs sending reiki + chanting Mrutunjaya Mantra for the person to be healed and then getting up 3am to heal from 3-5am WITHOUT FAIL. 

I always get to meet more of people who want 'such people's' number to use them for their advantage. But they are hardly taken as role model to start healing to others! Our houses will turn into homes when every person starts healing others like them. Our society will become a 'Ram rajya' when every person heals social issues like that. Our world will become 'swarga - heaven' when each one heals like that........

I am hopeful of that day - would be wonderful if I get to see that quality developed in every Reiki channel's heart (at least my student) ........but if this happens even when I am not there in this body - well and good - it's just that I wouldn't notice it through this mind and intellect - that's all - yet very good enough for me....

Reflections - On cleaning – 3

Reflections - On cleaning – 3

4."Mission accomplished when broken into smaller bits. And to believe that I postponed doing this since like ever!" - Break every task to be performed into small achievable tasks. Busiest people always take in more responsibility – happily. They make time for all things that matter. Everyone has just 24 hrs. but what Ratan Tata achieves in it speaks volumes of how much work can be covered in just 24 hrs.

Whether it is keeping or maintaining our house right or our health, the trick is always same. Make effort in the right direction every day – may be for just 5-10 mts and yet its results is visible over time.

Whether we are cleaning our house or our inner clutter, take one area at a time and address it. Just few mts here and few minutes there will bring a sea-change in both areas of life.

Every big task can be completed if we break it into pieces. We can always achieve more even if we start less but keep going on.

Always remember ‘You can’t go very far if you don’t start very near’ – Jiddu Krishnamurthy.

Reflections - On cleaning – 3

Points to ponder and reading the post right: Bathroom represents our deep, dark shame or guilt. It represents all that we are ‘throwing’ out of us that are ‘disgusting and harmful to us and our well-being’.

1."One bathroom was irritating me for quite some time. It was due for cleaning." It is possible you haven’t healed of late and the dirt has settled on you

OR

You are healing regularly but even you know it’s not complete or good enough.

2."Reasons many and valid – lack of time and energy and disinterest." Reasons are same for both cleaning – be it outside or inside.

3. "Just a little was good enough. Just a little cleaning pecked me up". Don’t look at all that needs to be addressed. It would be mountain size and our lack of time, energy and interest would make it even more difficult task.

Instead, take a little of healing – like you pick up one aspect of healing and start dusting the ‘cover of anger, jealousy, shame and guilt (and so on)’ over self! Before long you’ll find the ‘dust’ cleaned and you’ll find yourself radiating through every pore of yourself.

Just one step at a time.

Just one technique a day.

Heal just one aspect a day!

Reflections - On cleaning – 3

One bathroom was irritating me for quite some time. It was due for cleaning. I didn’t clean. Reasons many and valid – lack of time and energy and disinterest. It took quite some time to clean – always! And that meant I kept aside few of other daily chores?! This wasn’t happening for various reasons. Result – bathroom remained a sore eye – the one that was nagging me day in and day out.

But, one day I thought ‘let me just clean the commode.’ And I did. I had time for just that. I didn’t need ‘lots of energy’ as was required to clean the entire bathroom. Just a little was good enough. Just a little cleaning pecked me up. I felt happy. I had a sense of achievement. Just saw me through the day. 

Next day, I just cleaned tiles (only the upper portion) of two only walls. Bathroom that seemed dull and irritating looked bright and shining. I was happy. I was glad with its makeover. 

Next day, it was time to clean the lower tiles of these two walls.  Now the bathroom was flooded with light – or was it just my imagination? Either way my mood spiked. I had a sense of achievement. I felt accomplished. Next, I took account of bathrooms two more walls to cover, taps and washbasin – and then it would look the way I wished it to look. Mission accomplished when broken into smaller bits. And to believe that I postponed doing this since like ever!

Now, why are we even talking about my bathroom? What has it got to do here in this blog? Does this talk have a purpose?

On basis of relationship!

 

On basis of relationship!

The relationship that one has with oneself is the basis of all other relationships in his life!

So, take stock of your relationship with self!

Get to know how you deal with yourself!

If one can't be comfortable with oneself, how can he be comfortable with others - any other person in life?

think about it!!

Problems – Me, My Guru

 

Continued.....

Problems – Me, My Guru

“Will it go away” I asked hopefully.

“Not necessarily always. But, it will give you strength and better perspective to address the problem. You will be better equipped to face the situation. Your clarity will improve. You will find ways to accomplish the task undertaken. Don’t ask, just keep healing. Each unto his own! Every one’s experience is different and individual. It depends on the individual’s various facts – so we can’t compare between two identical (supposedly) situations” saying so she left us for the day.

And we were left with the path to walk upon – as ever!

Problems - Me, My Guru

 

Problems – Me, My Guru

“Guruji, how do I address my problems? They never seem to go away for good!” asked one of us.

“Sometimes, all that you need to do to address the problem is ignoring it. Look at the problem not as part of it but as an outsider. You’ll get a better perspective and the right one many times. Shift the position from which you look at the problem, you see the solution right away.

Other times, you just have to understand it. Sit on the problem. Meditate on it. Know its cause and the effect gets healed on its own” replied our Guru.

“But what if it doesn’t go even then” asked another student. He surely had tried the above given solutions. He didn’t find a solution in them. It was obvious.

“Then sit to heal as a healer” she replied with a smile.

“Will it go away” I asked hopefully.

On peace of mind – Me, My Guru

On peace of mind – Me, My Guru

“Guruji, I just want to have my ‘peace of mind’ intact. Help me with that” asked someone.

All of us were glad he asked that question. That was not just his question. It was ‘the question’ of the lot in general!

“Then stop thinking about things happened in the past. Stop worrying about future too! Stop reliving others’ actions and words.” Replied our Guruji.

“Then what else is there to do Guruji?” asked him confused and a wee bit irritated.

“Then when your mind is free of all this chatter, LIVE! That is when you live YOUR LIFE actually. Not deciding about what others should or shouldn’t do or say – but actually living your life for once. Use techniques taught to you to do the same. Then not only will you be peaceful but happy too! You will not need to go anywhere. You wouldn’t have to wait for someone to come in our life or go away from your life. You will realize that you are happy inspite of all these people in your life. Own up your life! Seize your life for what it has to offer you. Don’t get others too much into your life” so saying our Guru.

We didn’t need much explanation today. She has said a lot on these topics all along. We just needed a reminder today. We got it. We set out to apply it. We got results when we did in past. We are sure to get one this time too. It was just a matter of will and choice. We would win this time too. She believed in us. We believed in her belief on us. We couldn’t go wrong today!

On being balanced – Me, My Guruji

 

On being balanced – Me, My Guruji

“Guruji, I want to be peaceful and enjoying life. But the people in my life tear me apart.  I get so angry at so many things they say and do. How to correct them? Because, my happiness and peace of mind is dependent on them.”

“If someone can easily anger you, then it is so, because you are off balance with yourself. How can you heal or correct others when you yourself are not balanced? How can healing others be easy when the mind and body within your reach is not ‘listening to you’?” asked our Guruji.  

True! It was such a big world out there. And if I go correcting and healing every one of their attitudes, then even if I take 100 janmas (lives), it may not be enough!!?

Our Guru said it so simply. The one within my reach was the ONLY AREA I need to correct and be in control of. The rest didn’t matter when this happened.

# being balanced, centre - finding it, situation is real suffering is optional, being in control of our emotions, reason over emotions, 

also read previous post on being balanced : https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=empty+boat 

Points to ponder : 

Sometimes, all it takes to lose balance is a simple phone call. 

A word heard is enough to drive us nuts. Take a moment to look at your emotions. Is it worth suffering so much over a word heard? 

Is it worth losing our peace of mind over someone's actions? 

Is our happiness not precious to us? 

Are we choosing brooding over the other person's actions and words over our peace of mind? Why? Think and meditate on the same!

Answer will surprise you. It will heal you. It will release you from 'that pain' for sure!

Meditate and be free from this pain.

You owe yourself this peace and happiness.....
