Me, My Guru – on asking the
right question
One of the students wanted to attend a certain class. He came down and asked, “Guruji, are you conducting my class this Sunday?”
She replied with a smile “No”.
He bowed and left.
I was puzzled. I knew the class
that he wanted. And I also knew that that particular class was this Saturday.
And yet our Guru didn’t say anything about that class.
Our Guru smiled and answered
“Because he didn’t ask ‘when is my class?’ He asked me if he had a class this
Sunday and I gave him reply for that question.”
I was stunned. It was so right
and so simple!

Pointers from the post:
" “Guruji, are you conducting my class this Sunday?”
She replied with a smile “No”." - Look at the question and answer again. If and only if that student had asked "Guruji when can I have my class? or Can you conduct class for me this week or something like that" then he would have had his class that week.
He not only postponed his class, he delayed his learning by God knows how many more days/weeks/years to come?
Never postpone learning.
There will be a mindset that would blame Guru here. Good for them. But remove Guru represents "One who is everywhere too" by one of the qualities that Guru has. Then here it means you are going to ask in similar fashion everywhere. Maybe, the answers you got is because of how you asked the question. Change the way you ask question and you will see the difference in the way it is answered.
Instead of blaming someone for change, try to see where the problem is and correct it and see the solution right in front of you. Sometimes, the problem vanishes on its own too....
