Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

“Without questioning further he packed his meagre belongings and left towards his home.” – Most important quality that works wonders in protecting any one is “faith and respect” for the one who has your good in his heart. (here it being a Guru). Trust and that will protect you.

Protection can’t be demanded.

It is not an entitlement.

It is not your right (Reiki quota right).

But have trust (in real) and that is enough to protect you from any calamity.

“Just a thought of being with his Guru soon sent shivers of happiness in his body. His body felt light. He was light on his feet too as he made in return journey.” – Coming to class, doing Reiki and being in sadhan when related this way then the story and the outcome is beyond anyone’s measure.

When we relate with anyone in our life this way, then no job seems boring, repetitive or heavy. Because love is missing in our relationships, we consider any “doing” as work and feel the pressure instead of pleasure in doing it for the other – be it parent, child, sibling or job.

Sit with this thought.

Know where the problem is.

Address it.

Overcome it.

Then life and duties that come with it will feel sooooo good!

“Today we received a lot!

And yet, we found ourselves empty!” – This is the story of our life. We have everything and bountiful. YET, yet we found ourselves EMPTY. And so, we ran hither thither in search of that MISSING joy. We are searching in the wrong place. Hence, our search proves futile.

Know where to search, what to search and seek your right to your Kingdom!

Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

“Years passed. Guru and shishya would be in sadhan all through the day and night too! Time was not taken in consideration by them.” Only the day one doesn’t feel the time has he actually become eligible to be walking the path of spirituality. All other times, he is just flaring his ego with imaginations and assumptions. Wake up! Know yourself. Face the facts! Declare war on them. And become free of these shackles that stop your flight!

“Once during the meditations, Guru saw the death of his shishya in 7 days. He was shaken a bit. He meditated and regained his calm.” – There are two points here. One is that to the one who is regular in sadhan (drawing symbols to get bus, saying lines of gratitude 10-20 times a day don’t count as sadhan in such cases) will develop abilities like premonition, clairvoyance and so on.

Understand them correctly. I said “abilities” – read them as such only. They are not “powers” as usually assumed to be and talked as. They are just abilities that we get as collateral to our sadhan. They are not the be all of our sadhan. Know that!

Second, is Guru was shaken when he saw the vision. We want to “SEE” many things but are we ready to “SEE” them? Many times, a big no!

When such a time comes learn from the Guru. He didn’t run away. He didn’t start crying. He MEDITATED AND REGAINED HIS CALM. Whenever we are shaken, sadhan is the place to be. Go back to sadhan, regain your composure and then resume your job. Only after you gain your calm, take any decisions.

Don’t come calling me. Don’t be angry that I am not available at all odd times for you. I am not your private property. Sadhan is the ONLY way to get that calm. Even if I meet you or talk to you, I am going to ask you to do the same. But, no, you want me to DO REIKI for you. Till that nature stays with you, fear will toss you as it feels right. The problem is not the situation. Know that! The problem is that "there is fear". And that fear is within you. Know this. Accept it. And work on it. Heal it. Overcome it. Transcend it! Become free of fear! You don't need it - remember that!

Sadhan, sadhan, and more sadhan when shaken – REMEMBER THAT!

Pointers to understand the post:

““A Guru and his shishya lived on a mountaintop for many years.” – Take any art – be it painting, martial arts, music, it takes years of sadhan to reach a descent level of proficiency. We all know this. And yet, people want to become “MASTERS”, no sorry, ASSUME  they have BECOME MASTERS attending ½ a day class or just a few classes far in between!!??

How sorry is that state of affairs?

Even to get a normal degree one goes to educational institutions for a minimum of 16-20 years. So, how much more should one practice and be going to his Guru to know even a little in the field of spirituality?

In the good old days and even now Buddhist monks practice for years on end in various monasteries and in forests and such places.

Don’t let your ego blind you to THIS ASSUMPTION that you have become spiritual. Just becoming eligible to walk this path takes years of sadhan and constant interaction with one’s Guru.

Nothing, no google can replace a Guru’s presence in this path!

“His bhakthi, faith, gratitude, respect and love for his Guru were obvious in his every act of “seva” to his Guru.” – If there is bhakthi, faith, gratitude, respect or love, it is obvious. It need not be declared or proved by logical verbal arguments.

Even an animal and a kid can know it if it is there. The one who is declaring it again and again needs to understand that the need to declare itself is making it evident that these emotions are lacking. Work on them. Meditate on them. Heal the reasons behind them.

Not having them is not the problem. That is the situation. That is fine. Assuming them to be there in self, therein lies the problem. Once we assume, we will never get them in real. So, wake up. Heal. Meditate.

When they both reached their place Guru asked how his journey and stay were. The shishya narrated every incident of his journey and stay. When the shishya shared his joy of seeing rabbit and the bird saved, the Guru realized the Divine Grace and the Law of Karma more clearly.

Guru realized:

Our future is fluid. It is not certain. It can be changed with our attitude, karma, small acts of kindness and sadhan.

Any small act of kindness was applauded and appreciated by the Divine and the one who performed them was blessed accordingly!

But our acts can’t be orchestrated. They have to be spontaneous, pure and out of love to give a positive result.

He shared his vision and understanding with his shishya.

Shishya’s eyes were filled with gratitude and love for Guru. His Shraddha grew more and his sadhan became more intense. Soon, he became Enlightened!

So you see do all the good you can, at all the times you can and to all the people you can.

No good deed ever goes to waste! We never know how our good deeds come back to support or help us in our tough times” our Guru concluded this story with a smile that meant more than what we could decipher.

But we had this story to understand first.

So many of our questions were answered.

We got the “solution” to our problems and a way out of our “fearful situations” – but unfortunately it was left to us to put this to good use to see its benefit. That was the part we didn’t like. Why were we to do all the doing? Couldn’t our Guru just give our bounties to us just like that?

With no one to answer that question of ours, we left her place with mixed feelings. Today we received a lot!

And yet, we found ourselves empty!

Shishya was overjoyed. Without questioning further he packed his meagre belongings and left towards his home. As he got down the hill, he saw a bird hurt and lying on the ground. His eyes were filled with tears. His heart filled with compassion he nursed the bird and saved it. He felt very happy when he saw the bird fly away.

As he continued his journey, he saw a wounded rabbit. He again waited to nurse the rabbit. The rabbit was saved. He resumed his journey happily now.

His family was happy to see him after such a long time. He spent goodtime with family and friends. Every day, he fed some ants before eating. One week later he took leave of his family and started his journey back to his Guru’s place. Just a thought of being with his Guru soon sent shivers of happiness in his body. His body felt light. He was light on his feet too as he made in return journey.

His Guru saw him climbing the hill from atop. His surprise and joy knew no bounds. He came running to meet his shishya. He hugged him and gave him fruits to eat.

When they both reached their place Guru asked how his journey and stay were. The shishya narrated every incident of his journey and stay. When the shishya shared his joy of seeing rabbit and the bird saved, the Guru realized the Divine Grace and the Law of Karma more clearly.

“A Guru and his shishya lived on a mountaintop for many years. Shishya had worked on his vasanas under his Guru’s guidance and brought them under control. His bhakthi, faith, gratitude, respect and love for his Guru were obvious in his every act of “seva” to his Guru.

Years passed. Guru and shishya would be in sadhan all through the day and night too! Time was not taken into consideration by them.

Once during the meditations, Guru saw the death of his shishya in 7 days. He was shaken a bit. He meditated and regained his calm. He sat contemplating his vision. He called his shishya and said, “Son, since its years that you’ve been away from your family, I permit you to go visit them. Stay with them for a week. You can resume your studies with me when you come back after a week.”

Shishya was overjoyed. Without questioning further he packed his meagre belongings and left towards his home. As he got down the hill, he saw a bird hurt and lying on the ground. His eyes were filled with tears. His heart filled with compassion he nursed the bird and saved it. He felt very happy when he saw the bird fly away.

On spring cleaning!

 

On spring cleaning!

Now, my house is clean.

It is clean beyond my measure of clean!!! Wow! Wow! Wow!

But then, nobody has come till now to acknowledge the same – so sad!

Why?

Why no one come when everything is right?

Why do people come in hoards when nothing is right?

I wonder!!

I am sad!

I am angry!

And you?

Now, tell me, why it is so?

What should I do so that people come only when my house is clean – always they come only when it is clean.

Question time:

Help me find the answer to my question?

Me My Guru – On Sadhan being “Sahaj” (effortless!)

Pointers to understand the post

Me My Guru – On Sadhan being “Sahaj” (effortless!)

"Such is the power of regular remembrance. We become that which we keep remembering again and again, all through the day." - One becomes the object of his regular thought! You BECOME what you think of all through the day!

So, better think of the Lord - the Ultimate all through the day and become Him!

The same rule applies to getting anything of this World too! But read the lines 100 times and understand it RIGHT. YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK OF! 

Do not make the Ultimate the means to an end! Instead, Use the sadhan as the means to reach the End - HIM!

"If you love God, Reiki, sadhan, healing or Self, you’ll find ways to infuse sadhan in your routine." - If you Love that is the most important thing! "If you love". When one loves then he can find time, energy, interest and everything needed to be with the object of his love. He doesn't need counselling. He doesn't need convincing and how that is good for him. He doesn't need a Guru or a guide to tell him to do so! He knows, he does for he wants!

Know that clearly!

"Small victories from our little bundles of psychic impressions are what we need to aim at to be able to live life our way. Till then we are leading the life as our psychic impressions push us towards." - Unfortunately sadhan is always assumed, seen and taken to be the means to an end - that of gaining something of this World. 

The day we see it as a means to break free from all the past conditions, beliefs and the need to do so, we'll look at, relate and be in sadhan in a totally different way - the right way. That is the day the person actually becomes eligible to walk the "PATH OF SPIRITUALITY". Till then, all acts are just the preparatory steps for the same.

Me My Guru – On Sadhan being “Sahaj” (effortless!)

"He fell in love with Sun-God. So, to express his love he used his worship Sun-God through “Sandhya”. " - Sadhan and rituals that we do can be a way to thank the Divine, Reiki or God. When done as a way to thank, show gratitude or affection for the Divine, then it reaps benefits beyond our imagination. It heals our karma like nothing! This is the way to do sadhan especially when we are afraid of facing the consequences of our karma.

Doing the sadhan in exchange for some material benefit is the most lowest form of worship that may give the object of our desire or its equivalent to us. But, since we had done the encashed the sadhan against the things of this World, there is no sadhan left to heal the karma (that we are afraid of facing in future when it comes back to bite us). 

"Due to his power of worship, the Sun would not set until his worship was complete." - Sadhan done anyway is good. But, that which has no desire attached to it, which has the purity of intent, which is seeped in affection for the technique or the one for whom we are doing sadhan (like Reiki, Guru,God) then bhakthi gains "SHAKTHI". Our devotion gains power that normal people call as "miracles" and the bhaktha just nods his head and says "oh, yeah that happens" because for him that is the way of life!

Sadhan done to impress others or to inflate our ego keeps count of how much sadhan we do. It keeps count of all the money given in charity. It keeps count of how much we have shared with others, given to others, done for others.

But to experience love, we need to first stop keeping count of the same.
