Me, my guru – on persistence to do right!

 


Me, my guru – on persistence to do right!




“Guruji, why do you keep repeatedly saying the same thing over and over again? People are not going to understand. They are adamant” said Aziz with lots of pain.

“No, they are both adamant and stupid Guruji. They won’t take what you want to offer them” said Rahul with lots of pain. He was one such rare student who didn’t come seeking or demanding anything from our Guru. For him just coming to ‘this place’ was enough of a return. He never talked or complained about his life. All his pain and suffering were centered around our Guru. He felt bad that others didn’t understand her teachings. He was angry that they didn’t even try applying them. He was frustrated that our Guru didn’t receive her due be it in kind or in cash. He was disappointed that she wasn’t valued enough. These really were a rare kind. 

I knew their pain and yet I never crossed the line that separated them from me – like all other students.

Contd....

# right and wrong, pleasing and right, 


Request: Handful are the blessed souls who read not only the link given but also the links given in the posts found in the link. Bless those souls! I know they are already doing a great job for themselves, but, if they could just take a couple of minutes to share a thought or a word or two on the link that they read, it would be a great help to those who are not reading the complete link given (some don't read the link given at all!). 
Others for short of time or interest would then be able to read at least the one post that is highlighted by the readers. As you benefit, also do a small job of being helpful to others......

Post pointers:

"They won’t take what you want to offer them” said Rahul with lots of pain. " - Can you just close your eyes and go through the time passed and see how many times this has happened. How many times you have not taken what is offered to you - be it some material gift, advice, affection or anything. 
Material gift we reject saying "I don't like this colour etc or I don't want to take from this person". Then we complain that we don't receive affection, respect from the other. We also say that the other person is 'negative' and gives out negative vibes!!! Think about that.
Advice - We take only what we want to and from whom we want to. If the same is given from the person we dislike then we don't accept it. Good from any one should be embraced if you want to be happy, growing, receiving abundance, sensible and not want to suffer the same pain again and again.

"He was one such rare student who didn’t come seeking or demanding anything from our Guru. For him just coming to ‘this place’ was enough of a return. " - Look at these statements. It is not just a rare student quality but a rare human quality. The only one who has it knows what affection is, what love is. Only that person is genuine. Only that person is happy. Others call whatever they feel as a feeling of happiness. The one who doesn't seek anything in return gets it all! He is the one who knows to love and experiences love! All others just desire. They are driven but just lust! 
When you love someone, just being with that person is enough. Getting expensive gifts, being comfortable in life etc don't matter. If and only if people understood that, then no one would suffer any relationship!
This is the secret of having "GOOD relationship" and being happy in any relationship.

"He was frustrated that our Guru didn’t receive her due be it in kind or in cash. " - Read this sentence once again. So many times we feel we are not paid right. We feel that we are not valued right. We are angry, frustrated, disappointed that our family and Company are not paying us our due respect, recognition and paycheck! 
But, when it comes to paying others, we have excuses of 'not being able to pay' or 'she doesn't need it' etc. Everyone thinks he has paid 'right'. But no one does! 
One who does will see return in every way come his way! You receive based on how and to whom you give!

(IF you don't understand any of these explanations do ask - and those who have understood do explain with some example for others to follow)
