Me, my guru – Karna receives what he gives!





Pointers to understand the post:

Like many days before, we came to our Guru’s place with our baggage of frustrations, anger and accusations. In fact, I’ve noticed that most of us would come only with our complaints. We didn’t even think of her much (though we ended up saying ‘we think daily of you maam’ when we met her!!) in our good times. I mean, who had time to go meet a Guru in times of fun and frolic. And then, who wanted to??” – Many go to temples in times of need.

Many practice various religious rituals in times of need.

Many visit their Guru in times of need.

But, when things are going smooth, people don’t have time for SADHAN, DOING POOJA OR TAKE UP SOME PENANCE.

Dukh mein sumiran sab kare, sukh mein karein na koi,

Jo sukh mein sumiran karein tho dukh kahe hoye….Kabir Das.

No excuse is valid for such a mindset.

Don’t fall to this temptation of this World.

Enjoy your life the way you want to. But, also make it COMPULSORY to sit in sadhan on daily basis. Visit your Guru (if you have one) on regular basis. Be in sadhan – regularly!

This is the ONLY SENSIBLE way of living right!

Our Guru didn’t answer immediately. She received a call. She went to receive that. In the meantime, we were served our tea. A few minutes later our Guru joined us. She sat comfortably and had her tea as we poured our heart out.” – When things go wrong, everybody’s emotions are disturbed. Their behavior, words and tone is highly disrespectful and volatile.

Look at the way the Guru behaves. That is the way one can behave in similar situations. This comes with practice like everything else in life!

We need not get suck into the disturbing emotions around us. We can still maintain our calm and poise. Take time to respond to others’ accusations, however personal and baseless they are. RESPOND but never react.

Ek chup sau sukh! Remember that! And put that into practice. We won’t need to mend the broken relationships later.
