Me, my guru – Karna receives what he gives!

We stayed longer than needed. Discussed among ourselves. Worked on ourselves with a few techniques. We left tired and in pain. The journey was a long one. And it needed us to be on this path – regularly to overcome our pain and suffering.

We didn’t overcome our pain today. We’ll not in the next few weeks too. It was too deep to overcome in a few days time. And yet, we knew we had to come to our Guru's place again and again just so that we stick to this path and hold on to this sadhan. Yes, left to ourselves we would be going astray. We had seen it happen so many times before – both with ourselves and with others. We wanted to avoid that from happening this time.

This time as we closed the gate behind us, we knew this was the gate that would open the doors to peace and joy – one day!

For now, with a mind confused and heavy heart we left her place. Yet, there was a hope that was beyond reason in all of us. The hope that said that our Guru will take – nay lead us to the land of bliss where there was no pain or suffering – the land that she always talked about. It was not the land as promised by some of the prophets of other religions. No, our Guru was talking about our state of mind that we could live with – that which was everyone’s right!

We just had to keep going with our sadhan. Yes, we would falter. We would experience pain too in this process. But, this pain was worth it for the prize was worth it. the pain itself was the key to set us free from pain. What a wonderful thought!

What a wonderful state of existence!

Questions addressed:

Why a person who has done so much charity suffers so much in life?

A person goes to the temple regularly, lots of pilgrimage faces so much of negativity in his life?

A person who has helped all didn’t receive any from others. So, what is the purpose of being good?
