Me, my Guru – Full moon and the monk!

Not only were we angry at people who didn’t help us, we were also angry at her - our Guru for not understanding our pain. And over and above that, she was hell-bent on getting them ‘forgiveness’ - was she our Guru or theirs?

But our Guru just listened to all our rantings adjusting her saree. She was calm – as ever!

Once we had exhausted our complaints, she started to talk “Into a certain village in some good time, came a monk at nightfall. She had to stay in that village. She didn’t have an option there. She asked the villagers to let her stay in their house for one night. One after the other denied her permission to stay in their house. They closed the door in her face. With no other go, tired she sad under a peepul tree in the middle of the village. As she was in the open, she just sat there. It was very cold – it being winter then. She was hungry, tired, and cold! She just looked up at the sky which was bright with the full moon. This was her only solace. This light kept her fear away. Smiling, she kept looking at the moon. She felt grateful towards the moon as he was her only company that cold night. How long she kept looking at him, she didn’t know. But, as the night continued, she was lost in staring at the moon. After some time, tears started rolling down her cheeks. By dawn, she was enlightened!!!

Sunrise brought new light and a whole new morning into her life. She started dancing with joy. She ran to every house, knocked on their door, and waited. When they opened their door, she hugged them thanking them for having denied her permission to enter and stay in their house. 

She told them if “You hadn’t rejected me; I wouldn’t be Enlightened. Thank you for this beautiful night”.

What are the topics covered in this post:

• It is the story of a monk who gets Enlightened on the full moon night. This is set in Me, my Guru format.
• This story clearly explains how one gets enlightened, moksha, realized, free from all karma.
• We realize how our karmas are completely burned..
• We are explained how no situation is independently good or bad. This also explains how every situation can be made beneficial if only we have the presence of mind, and calmness of mind and if and only if we let go of our adamant nature of wanting things to go our way and instead flow with the flow of life.
• Life pushes us and leads us to our greatest good. We with our adamant nature and conditioned mind throw it away and demand lesser-known goodies that are actually painful and harmful for us.
• The fools work to heal the situation and suffer the situation. The sensible are those who accept the situation and make the best of any situation. This they get by working on their mind, emotions, and intellect every single day of their life. They are working on themselves instead of working on the situations.

Question time:

Here, in this story, you see that the monk got enlightened because of rejection. So you see, everything happens for good!

How many of you can relate to the statement "Everything happens for good". There must have been situations in your life that would have crushed you, broken you, or made you feel as if that was the end of the world....and yet you did Reiki and continued walking. And then after some time, things worked out not necessarily your way but way better than you had envisaged. You were simply, silently, and effortlessly out of the mess that your life was!

Share at least one of such experiences with others. Let it be a reminder of your 'miracle story' of your life through Reiki too! 

Every one is waiting for you to share!!!
