Milestone year 2024! 410 posts!

 

Milestone year 2024! 410 posts!

Yes, this year has set a milestone that I don’t see myself able to beat in any future – near or distant!

We have touched “410 posts”!

No. of days in the year 364/365 and we touched 408 posts!

Impressive year – don’t you think so?

I have been working tirelessly every month of this year. Just with a thought “Just for today, I will write and post” in the blog”.

No big targets. “Just for today” was my mantra for the year. I decided to write one post per day without fail.

It is not that I didn’t have my challenges thrown at me by the Universe. There were times when I could have easily fallen back with excuses (genuine 100!) but I didn’t use them.

I worked around my situations. Sometimes, I overworked to compensate the days I couldn’t or wouldn’t be able to work. I planned well sometimes. And other times, I just kept doing more work than needed with “just in case” scenario in mind. And trust me, it helped. All the “just in case scenarios” were addressed because of that “over working” on days I did.

Now, apply all this in your area of life that you wish to see abundance in. You just have to start with “just for today” mantra.

Don’t let situations become your excuse.

If you know on certain days you wouldn’t be able to do the work, then do it in advance. That is always better than doing it later – trust me on that.

Work more than needed. Keep your “savings account” piling so that you can relax on those “rest days” – forced ones only.

Under no circumstance give in to laziness.

And before long, 2025 would be a year where you have hit the score so high that you would not stop partying at the year end!

But, no one can do that for you.

As I had to do it myself, so should you be doing for your own targets.

All the best!

Share your targets at the start of the year/

Share your progress every month.

Share your achievements on 30th Dec 2025.

Year end bonus – Grace healings – 2024

 

Year end bonus – Grace healings – 2024 

Sent healing – 3 days – to all those who have been giving feedback, observations, explanations, asking doubts, and sharing their experiences during this year! I don't grade any of your observations, experiences or feedback. They all are the same. And every feedback deserves validation. 

Sent to Swathi “double dose” for going that quality that she developed, exhibited and applied in life – give back all that you received to the Universe in her small way.

She, whenever received Grace healings from me, immediately sent reiki to someone – be it Mother Earth, animals or so – for a set number of days. That is the quality we need to develop.

Receiving something be it blessings or prayers even, from elders, parents, teachers, Gurus, healers, Universe or God is not our right!

It is not that we are entitled to that!

That’s why it is called “Grace”. It is a way they are showing their appreciation, happiness, or affection for us. It has to be earned. And it is earned well and right when we develop an attitude that is “Divine in nature”. And what better quality that “selflessness” of passing on our blessing to others??!!

Learn from all these examples and apply them in life and grow in abundance.

It is easy to cry and blame others for receiving something as a “favour”.

We can end up being jealous of them.

We can play a victim card.

But, we can also take the high road and work on our attitudes that stops us from receiving “grace”.

Each one has a “Freewill”.

We have right to lead our life our way!

And that starts with our “choice”.

And those little choices make or break our fate for us!

Choose right and grow in abundance.

Choose wrong and suffer our own doing!

This year, let’s look back and learn our lessons right!

Let’s learn to work on the areas that need to be healed.

Next year, same time, may we have fewer regrets than this year at least in this regard!

Cheers to that!

“Without questioning further he packed his meagre belongings and left towards his home.” – Most important quality that works wonders in protecting any one is “faith and respect” for the one who has your good in his heart. (here it being a Guru). Trust and that will protect you.

Protection can’t be demanded.

It is not an entitlement.

It is not your right (Reiki quota right).

But have trust (in real) and that is enough to protect you from any calamity.

“Just a thought of being with his Guru soon sent shivers of happiness in his body. His body felt light. He was light on his feet too as he made in return journey.” – Coming to class, doing Reiki and being in sadhan when related this way then the story and the outcome is beyond anyone’s measure.

When we relate with anyone in our life this way, then no job seems boring, repetitive or heavy. Because love is missing in our relationships, we consider any “doing” as work and feel the pressure instead of pleasure in doing it for the other – be it parent, child, sibling or job.

Sit with this thought.

Know where the problem is.

Address it.

Overcome it.

Then life and duties that come with it will feel sooooo good!

“Today we received a lot!

And yet, we found ourselves empty!” – This is the story of our life. We have everything and bountiful. YET, yet we found ourselves EMPTY. And so, we ran hither thither in search of that MISSING joy. We are searching in the wrong place. Hence, our search proves futile.

Know where to search, what to search and seek your right to your Kingdom!

Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

“Years passed. Guru and shishya would be in sadhan all through the day and night too! Time was not taken in consideration by them.” Only the day one doesn’t feel the time has he actually become eligible to be walking the path of spirituality. All other times, he is just flaring his ego with imaginations and assumptions. Wake up! Know yourself. Face the facts! Declare war on them. And become free of these shackles that stop your flight!

“Once during the meditations, Guru saw the death of his shishya in 7 days. He was shaken a bit. He meditated and regained his calm.” – There are two points here. One is that to the one who is regular in sadhan (drawing symbols to get bus, saying lines of gratitude 10-20 times a day don’t count as sadhan in such cases) will develop abilities like premonition, clairvoyance and so on.

Understand them correctly. I said “abilities” – read them as such only. They are not “powers” as usually assumed to be and talked as. They are just abilities that we get as collateral to our sadhan. They are not the be all of our sadhan. Know that!

Second, is Guru was shaken when he saw the vision. We want to “SEE” many things but are we ready to “SEE” them? Many times, a big no!

When such a time comes learn from the Guru. He didn’t run away. He didn’t start crying. He MEDITATED AND REGAINED HIS CALM. Whenever we are shaken, sadhan is the place to be. Go back to sadhan, regain your composure and then resume your job. Only after you gain your calm, take any decisions.

Don’t come calling me. Don’t be angry that I am not available at all odd times for you. I am not your private property. Sadhan is the ONLY way to get that calm. Even if I meet you or talk to you, I am going to ask you to do the same. But, no, you want me to DO REIKI for you. Till that nature stays with you, fear will toss you as it feels right. The problem is not the situation. Know that! The problem is that "there is fear". And that fear is within you. Know this. Accept it. And work on it. Heal it. Overcome it. Transcend it! Become free of fear! You don't need it - remember that!

Sadhan, sadhan, and more sadhan when shaken – REMEMBER THAT!

Pointers to understand the post:

““A Guru and his shishya lived on a mountaintop for many years.” – Take any art – be it painting, martial arts, music, it takes years of sadhan to reach a descent level of proficiency. We all know this. And yet, people want to become “MASTERS”, no sorry, ASSUME  they have BECOME MASTERS attending ½ a day class or just a few classes far in between!!??

How sorry is that state of affairs?

Even to get a normal degree one goes to educational institutions for a minimum of 16-20 years. So, how much more should one practice and be going to his Guru to know even a little in the field of spirituality?

In the good old days and even now Buddhist monks practice for years on end in various monasteries and in forests and such places.

Don’t let your ego blind you to THIS ASSUMPTION that you have become spiritual. Just becoming eligible to walk this path takes years of sadhan and constant interaction with one’s Guru.

Nothing, no google can replace a Guru’s presence in this path!

“His bhakthi, faith, gratitude, respect and love for his Guru were obvious in his every act of “seva” to his Guru.” – If there is bhakthi, faith, gratitude, respect or love, it is obvious. It need not be declared or proved by logical verbal arguments.

Even an animal and a kid can know it if it is there. The one who is declaring it again and again needs to understand that the need to declare itself is making it evident that these emotions are lacking. Work on them. Meditate on them. Heal the reasons behind them.

Not having them is not the problem. That is the situation. That is fine. Assuming them to be there in self, therein lies the problem. Once we assume, we will never get them in real. So, wake up. Heal. Meditate.

When they both reached their place Guru asked how his journey and stay were. The shishya narrated every incident of his journey and stay. When the shishya shared his joy of seeing rabbit and the bird saved, the Guru realized the Divine Grace and the Law of Karma more clearly.

Guru realized:

Our future is fluid. It is not certain. It can be changed with our attitude, karma, small acts of kindness and sadhan.

Any small act of kindness was applauded and appreciated by the Divine and the one who performed them was blessed accordingly!

But our acts can’t be orchestrated. They have to be spontaneous, pure and out of love to give a positive result.

He shared his vision and understanding with his shishya.

Shishya’s eyes were filled with gratitude and love for Guru. His Shraddha grew more and his sadhan became more intense. Soon, he became Enlightened!

So you see do all the good you can, at all the times you can and to all the people you can.

No good deed ever goes to waste! We never know how our good deeds come back to support or help us in our tough times” our Guru concluded this story with a smile that meant more than what we could decipher.

But we had this story to understand first.

So many of our questions were answered.

We got the “solution” to our problems and a way out of our “fearful situations” – but unfortunately it was left to us to put this to good use to see its benefit. That was the part we didn’t like. Why were we to do all the doing? Couldn’t our Guru just give our bounties to us just like that?

With no one to answer that question of ours, we left her place with mixed feelings. Today we received a lot!

And yet, we found ourselves empty!

Shishya was overjoyed. Without questioning further he packed his meagre belongings and left towards his home. As he got down the hill, he saw a bird hurt and lying on the ground. His eyes were filled with tears. His heart filled with compassion he nursed the bird and saved it. He felt very happy when he saw the bird fly away.

As he continued his journey, he saw a wounded rabbit. He again waited to nurse the rabbit. The rabbit was saved. He resumed his journey happily now.

His family was happy to see him after such a long time. He spent goodtime with family and friends. Every day, he fed some ants before eating. One week later he took leave of his family and started his journey back to his Guru’s place. Just a thought of being with his Guru soon sent shivers of happiness in his body. His body felt light. He was light on his feet too as he made in return journey.

His Guru saw him climbing the hill from atop. His surprise and joy knew no bounds. He came running to meet his shishya. He hugged him and gave him fruits to eat.

When they both reached their place Guru asked how his journey and stay were. The shishya narrated every incident of his journey and stay. When the shishya shared his joy of seeing rabbit and the bird saved, the Guru realized the Divine Grace and the Law of Karma more clearly.
