on comparison

Conversation with GOD

One more quality that hits hard on financial abundance is comparison with others...Never ever do that....
Never give up and never quit.

Today I decided to quit... I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality, Iwanted to quit my life...I went to the woods to have one last talk with GOD."GOD", I said."Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me..."Look around", GOD said."Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant andplentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit onthe bamboo."

GOD said."In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit."

"In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo see. I would not quit."GOD said."Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant."

"But just 6months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it neededto survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

GOD said to me."Did you know, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots?"

"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others." GOD said."The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."

GOD said."Your time will come", GOD said to me."You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked."How high will the bamboo rise?" GOD asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned

"Yes." GOD said,"Give me glory by rising as high as you can.

"I left the forest and bring back this story. I hope these words can help you seethat GOD will never give up on you.GOD will never give up on you

"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a gift to be enjoyed"Conversation with GOD

The Moment i compare, always remember i am drawing with energies and with it comes their life situations...and then you complain that your wish is not being fulfilled...but it is. Only you are not aware of it...

For eg. if you wish your husband was like Salman Khan. you must have wished with regards to his looks. But the wish comes back fulfilled. And the husband becomes or is one who is so possessive that he beats you blue everytime you are smiling or talking to any other male...and you complain he is not understanding...but you only asked for it...

Next if i say I should be as or more rich than Anil, he will lose all his property and i will end up with Rs.1000/- in my pocket..the wish is fulfilled. Yet my sorrows and unfulfilment doesn't ....

So ask what you want specifically...not in comparitive terms...

eg: my spouse should be loving, earning Rs.100000/-, good looking etc

my bank balance should be Rs. 10000/- by X date etc...etc...

Stop using comparitive terms....and realize your real worth...YOU are unique in this world and no body can be like you even in millions of years to come...realize that and work towards your wishes and dreams..

Do re-birth meditation with confusion, jealousy and lack of clarity to be able to see clearly what you wish to have in life...

all the best for it....

The work done is the same all these years.

Need for pain

 

Need for pain

There was a small boy named “Abhas” who loved singing so much that he would be singing to his parents, family and friends all through the day. But the most painful and sad fact was that his voice would break into coarse, grating noise while singing. His family would tease saying it sounded like bamboo being split into two. Yet, he continued singing. People would shut their ears when he opened his mouth to sing.

One day he smelt something good coming from the kitchen and expecting his mother to cook his favourite dish he ran into the kitchen. And lo! He ran straight into the chopper and he cut one of his toe and the knife dug deep into his feet. He bled excessively and his family took him to the Dr. who somehow could save the toe but the pain remained unattended as there was no painkiller those days.

The little boy kept crying out of pain for several hours every single day for weeks and a month later his throat cleared and voice became melodious.

The little boy “Abhas kumar Ganguly” went on to become one of the musical trio of Indian film Industry – Kishore kumar!

We in our innocence ask for wishes way beyond our capabilities, abilities and worthiness. Sometimes time is also not right. But the heart wants what it wants!

The result – the wish comes true but with the price of a pain that needs to be borne before its fulfillment. Pain is not the ‘sadistic pleasure’ God / Universe derives from us against our desire! No it becomes the way to fulfill our desire.

Only crying at that level and for so long could have cleared his throat that way that he could without even formal musical training be considered one of the best voices and singers of all times to come!

Greater the fight, bigger is the medal!

Bigger the war, greater the reward!

Questions answered : 

• Why is there a pain?
• What is the purpose of suffering?
• Why do things fall apart?

points to understand :

• There is a purpose for every event in our life. Some understand,few know and majority just keep finding fault with it.
• Purpose of an event can only be understood by the majority of people in retrospect. Have patience, you'll understand what is happening with you today - somewhere in future.
• Every pain brings with it some benefit hidden within it. Only time reveals it at the appropriate time. Wait for it and as you wait, develop right attitude, be in sadhan and be prepared for what is in store for you in future.
• Things when in chaos have to fall apart to bring order in them. 

Share any other insight you have in this regard. 

meditate on  your pain and suffering to understand it correctly.

go back in your past to understand this correctly. 

Never try to understand or gauge what benefit you are to get from today's pain and suffering. You never can understand that! You will only end up being angry and start accusing Reiki/Guru/God unnecessarily. 

Just FYI : completed 1/3 of MM target of 25,000 chanting.....i.e., 8000 times. That means 80 malas completed. 

Hope you are doing as per your target set. 

I had given few HWs and works to do for few of you for next 3 months to come. Hope you are following up the work allotted to you!!!

Courage

 

Contd.....

Courage

Seek to outgrow fear. Seek to win fear. One should want to be ‘fearless’. And that doesn’t come by seeking others’ pity or protection. Be a shield unto others. Fall thousand times but don’t break down. Collect yourself every time. Work on fear. Develop courage.  ‘The purpose of life’ is to become ‘fearless’. Vedas and Upanishads (The treasure trove of Vedantic philosophy) say that. Our seers and Rishies said that. Let’s seek only that. All others will follow suit!

Only when we become fearless will we ultimately come out of every pain and suffering.

And the basis of fear is ignorance. So let’s work on clarity of thought. Clarity of thought is clouded by conditions that we live by. Let’s then drop our conditions. Let’s question them and face them. Let’s know why we condition and where we condition. That will give us clarity of thought. Bye and by ignorance is removed and that will clear our fear!

Everything happens for a reason. Tough times and unpleasant events too have a place in the complete picture that needs to evolve.Just because we are not comfortable with such moments or time doesn't mean they will cease to exist. They happened. They are happening. And bad times will keep happening in our lives and in the entire world for ever....but what we can do with healing and bringing a change in us and our perspective is learn to deal with them in a more balanced way. We can learn to benefit from each fall. We can use them to turn us towards going within and looking into our weak areas. Later we can work on strengthening our weak areas. Each time we come out better and stronger we become eligible to a better environment and better positions in life.......
