Me My Guru – On Sadhan being “Sahaj” (effortless!)
Most of us had one excuse or the other for not
being in Sadhan. We gave our reasons for not being able to heal ourselves
regularly. This was her answer to our excuses. The story that she gave us was
something that stayed with us – me, especially for a long time to come.
“In a certain village was a Rishi (Seer) named
Jaratkaru. He fell in love with Sun-God. So, to express his love he used his
worship Sun-God through “Sandhya”. “Sandhya vandanam” is the ritualistic
worship of Sun-God. It is a ritual in which the person does salutations to
Sun-God as a form of gratitude to the Sun.
Due to his power of worship, the Sun would not set
until his worship was complete. One day he was sleeping and the time of sunset
approached. His wife woke him up saying “The Sun is about to set. Wake up lest
your routine fails”.
The Rishi confidently replied “How can my routine
break? How can the Sun set till I do not offer ablution to him? You woke me up
as you are not aware of my power”. Contd....
