Me, My guru – On duties, responsibilities and results

 


Contd....


Me, My guru – On duties, responsibilities and results

Pointers to understand the post:





I asked as she was sipping her tea. This was break-time. And I used it to pose my question to her.” – Read these sentences couple of times more.


Such a common attitude that it gets overlooked most of the time.

Most of us wouldn’t even notice that if it is our quality. But, if it is from the other, then, yes, we get irritated.

Why? We get irritated because we can see the other person wanting to squeeze maximum from us in the limited time and in exchange for what “little” he pays us! Classic example is “My boss gives me so much of work”

“My Co pays less but expects me to work even extra hours”


“My pay hike is just 20% when I deserve (read it as desire though) 40%”

All this say that we feel we are being exploited.

But, when it comes to receiving from others, we get angry if the other person maintains “time” or such rules.

By one time payment as fees (for the classes that you ATTEND) you think you have right to take counselling from me all your life. And that too at your convenience. Mails are sent at God forsaken times demanding solutions and INSTANT healing to your issue.


This DEMANDING NATURE is the cause of friction between how you treat others and how expect to be treated. And that difference in giving and receiving is the cause of generating “Karma” in your life.

No God is punishing you.

Our attitude DOES!


“In modern times that is this Kaliyuga in the banks of….” – This story is of this “yuga aka modern times”. This is to show that this “Quality of serving” parents (in this story but applies to any other relationship also) is not outdated. It is the pre-requisite for everyone to overcome one’s ignorance, problems and gain access to abundance and success in life.
