Me, My Guru – On where there is a will, there is a way!

 


Me, My Guru – On where there is a will, there is a way!





“Guruji, you are always asking us to do so many techniques. But, where is the time? Other masters don’t even emphasize doing ‘hands-on’ on 24 points. In fact, it is not even mentioned in their classes. Yet, you are always asking us to complete doing ‘hands-on’ on a daily basis. We have jobs and personal lives too. Where is the time to do the sadhan?” asked one among us in a dejected tone.

Our Guru just smiled and waited for tea to arrive.


As tea was served everyone relaxed and the air was filled with our laughter. After our tea and chit-chatting were over, our Guru started to say “SRK is one of the top stars of Bollywood. He also owns a production company. He owns a cricket team too. He is into lots of other businesses along with his movies and shows. Imagine how much physical strain would it be to be a performer for 10-12 hours daily – be it in a movie, show or a private function! And over and above that to run such huge businesses! Still, he takes time to attend and be with his friends for all their good and tough times. He is there for his family too! He teaches cricket to his son!


Understand this better with this anecdote. He had a spot boy named Subhash. This boy lived in the slum. SRK would visit the slum silently at night after 1 pm and would stay for 15-20 minutes and leave silently. He would go to this slum once every 6-7 months to attend a birthday party of a kid or if a family member of Subhash was sick. He would attend any small function in Subhash’s house.

# Me My Guru series, where there is a way there is a way, on choices, decisions, attitudes, 

Read suggested https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2015/09/after-long-silence.html  read the link given to know how the wise listen to the suggestion/ advice from the other and immediately apply it in their lives and are benefitted because of the same...

also see how the intelligent - sometimes out of ego may take a little longer to accept other's advice - but they too get saved though delayed because of their ego

the foolish full of arrogance, stupidity and ego face the consequences of their own nature - these are the ones who blame the others for their calamity.....
