Me, my Guru – Full moon and the monk!

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”.

So you see, this monk got Enlightened because of rejection. As people refused to help her, she was forced to spend night in the open. As she was hungry and it was very cold she couldn’t sleep. With nothing much to do, she kept looking at the moon and lo! she got everything! She became everything!”

At this point, our Guru received a call and she went in to receive that. We didn’t like the way our discussion went. We knew deep down that what she was trying to imply was useful. But, we didn’t want that!

We were angry and we wanted to dump on the person whom we assumed to be responsible for it.

She took her seat. We had our reasons and questions to bombard at her and yet no one dared to open their mouth.

She continued “So you see, “everything happens for Good” if you just flow with the flow. We look at every incident and person with our glasses of expectations and conditions. When it is not met, we feel cheated, disappointed, and angry. We can be with these emotions and suffer as much as we like. Or, we can look around and see beauty in ‘what we already have’ and ‘enjoy’ it. I know none of you want enlightenment and that is fine. It’s your choice. But, this story is just an indicator. It says if an incident which we term as ‘rejection, helplessness, loneliness, pitiful, wrong etc’ can lead one to ‘Enlightenment’ can’t our ‘bad’ people and situations lead us towards happiness and material abundance? Where you choose to look is your choice! That choice decides your destiny. And then we blame Guru or God for being egoistic, sadistic etc for creating troubles in our life!?

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.
