While doing the mass healing each time it is a new experience for me . Every time I observe after every healing I am a new person changed . I noticed that what I thought I dont know or could not do after the healing I noticed that it becomes effortless.

Hi,

Sab se badi cheez hai "BHAAV".
The destiny or karma is written with the intention that we are working with.
I did not understand why was the villager getting disturbed when ananda asked the same question everytime.
Sometimes even when the intentions are fine where does the problem lie.
Things go smoothly and surrender life takes a dip or a u turn. Just trying to figure why is it happening and how to solve it and what is my learning.

I read all the posts of this story peacefully. Had read it earlier too. But yes, as you have mentioned, we understand things better with every reading.

Did the new understanding help you in any way?
Yes, it is a tight slap on the face of selfishness and greed. Its scary but when we face ourselves honestly, we realise how shallow our thoughts have been. The truth is that we can never ever give even 1% of what we receive. Still all we do is crib and crib about lack of something or the other.

What is the change in your perspective from previous time?
Last time I looked at it more like a story and did understand the importance of gratitude and giving (materially). But this time could understand it in the context of giving and receiving love, compassion, respect.

Where can you apply this understanding in your life? Does all these understandings help you to lead a better, easier, calmer, peaceful and a full life?
Yes, all the nagging thoughts about minor things not happening or getting delayed will be replaced by the thousand things we are enjoying every minute. Once there is silence, its easily filled with japam or thoughts of gratitude. I maintain a habit tracker with everything I wish to accomplish everyday - exercise, reiki, food habits, work tasks and so on. I will add a column there which would help me catch my thoughts of ingratitude. Will try and minimize these thoughts from now.

Thank you for the wonderful post Ma'am.
