Me, my guru – on knowing self and mind training!
Once a
drunkard went to his Doctor and complained that his stomach pain is not
decreasing in spite of taking medicines. Then Doctor asked, “Are you sure you
are taking the medication regularly?”
Drunkard
replied “Absolutely!”
Then
Doctor asked, “How sure can you be!”
Drunkard
replied, “Because I take them before drinking alcohol in the morning, afternoon and night.
So, I can’t miss them”.
Your argument
“I am healing and that should be enough and that I don’t want to know myself is
like that drunkard’s answer.
Healing
is like medicine. But negative thoughts and wrong attitudes are like taking
alcohol regularly. How can medicine be effective if taken with alcohol?” asked
our Guru.
Some of
us laughed. But our intelligent leader Vaishnav replied “That means healing is
as wasted as that medicine. I knew it! No point healing, right?”
We all
came with so-called logic and were even proud and arrogant enough to assume
that our ‘logic’ was fool-proof. But our such arguments only reflected our
levels of ignorance and stupidity. And that and therein lay the cause of our
suffering in our lives!
But she
never said with a taunt “Is that what you inferred from my explanation?”
