Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

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!

Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

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.

Spring cleaning - TV rack

So what does that tell us?

One thing that pleases us loses its sheen in our eyes (only) a few days or weeks later.

Our tastes and preferences change with time – i.e., if the person is normal and growing (in any direction).

“Those who don’t change are like puddles of water that are breeding grounds of harmful bacteria and everything that is harmful to everyone”.

That change is because as we face life, people and situations, we take it’s impact on us. That is what is called psychic impressions. These psychic impressions then create new thought processes and belief systems. That’s why our responses, tolerance, acceptance, tastes in short everything about us changes.

When a person is leading a life without awareness and knowledge of ‘self’ then the change is towards bitterness – most of the time.

But, if the person is aware of the Universal Law of karma and sadhan (of any kind) then his sadhan coupled with his knowledge of the law of karma heals his psychic impressions over time. That causes him to become a better person. This is reflected in the way he addresses people in his life. It also shows in the way he responds to situations in his life now. It is evident in his way of conducting himself and is obvious in the way he does his day-to-day activities too!

His tastes and preferences change.

e.      No wrong committed by us is ever forgotten by the Universe. It comes back in our life – maybe after 100 lifetimes – but it does. 

    in the case of DHRITARASHTRA – https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2018/08/bhagavatam-krishna-answers-king.html

f.     Every act hides within it both positive and negative results. There is no act that has only good impact. So, even when good is done for others, the little harm done through the same returns to us and that is also to be borne by us. KUNTI CURSES KRISHNA https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2024/09/me-my-guru-bhagavatam-on-lost-city-of_02073380832.html

g.      When the act is done with the right intent and as per DHARM, then even the curse is used by the Divine to do some greater good. This same act or karma makes the person rise above the normal.

Our choices decide our fall or rise!

The right choice takes us towards our “Divine hood”.

h.     Nobody is above the “Law of Karma”

i.      With purity, simplicity and innocence, the impact of karma is reduced by the sadhak.

J.  The karma that binds is the “very thing” that frees us from all our karmas too!

k.    Being afraid of getting to face the consequences of our karma if we choose to “not act” – then even that comes under “karma”. We have to bear “that” consequence too! So, either way, we need to bear the consequences. Then why not learn to do karma in such a way that it becomes a way to redeem us of our ‘past karmas’?

l.     See carefully how a certain karma comes back in others’ lives. (But always remember Karma doesn’t come back the same way for everyone). We’ll see that a person’s wrong catches up with him – sooner than later. https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2020/08/few-faqs-with-guru_20.html

So, we need not carry any grudge or wish that they be punished. Become free from seeking revenge. Walk towards peace. You deserve it if you are the one wronged!

Next, most important if some karma has come back in others’ lives, it would in ours too – for sure! So, when things don’t go or work our way – bear it with poise. Know it to be some past getting healed or catching up now. Use reiki techniques to reduce or mitigate the pain that comes to us bearing past karma.

Since every deed is limited in “portion size” bad times don’t last forever.

On understanding Karma in real-life situations Series

Now coming to the first point – how karma impacts our lives and how it shapes our future – this case study is ‘practical lessons’ that we have taken from others’ lives. The Intelligent ones learn from their mistakes.

A wise man learns from others’ lives and mistakes.

And a fool thinks he doesn’t need to learn as he already knows it all!

How to understand these case studies:

1.    We are not here to judge others with these case studies. That’s why no name is given in these studies.

2.     My motto is not to malign their character or name. I would’ve given names if it was so! Many of these people are not even Reiki channels(RC). None of them you would meet in life. Such are the cases that are given to you – well, mostly.

3.     This exercise is not that you complain or malign or question some person’s acts or character

4.     By seeing how karma impacts or comes back into someone’s life, we’ll become more aware of how “The Law of Karma” works. Here I’ll point out a few points to you:

a.     Every wish comes true: it’s just that it may take janmas to be fulfilled. https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2014/05/draupadi-mahabharata_11.html

b.     Our wish may come in any form – https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2014/05/draupadi-mahabharata_11.html

c.      Even a small attitude will face its consequences accordingly – https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=pandavas+and+dog

d.     The person with wrong intent even if blessed with the boon ends up meeting his doom because of it.

Boon in our case can be a post, position, material wealth, beauty and so on – BASMASURA https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2019/07/blessing-that-turned-into-curse-me-my_26.html–

Me, My guru – working of Karma noted in a real-life situation!

In the above case, I saw something beautiful. The second son repented what he had done to his elder brother, and sought forgiveness (genuinely). He was a changed man now. His heart had become pure with regret and shame. He faced the downs of life with equipoise and so healed his karma. His nature became purer over the years.

But, the eldest daughter-in-law kept the fire of hatred and resentment alive all these years. She kept marketing her ‘victimhood’ to all and sundry. Of course, people pitied her and felt she had suffered a lot in life. But, the hatred in her was eating her away from within. Because she was feeding hatred, it became huge. It demanded a victim on which it could direct its poison. The woman found her elder daughter suitable for this. She vented all her hatred on her elder daughter. She felt only her second daughter and son were her own. She started spreading rumours about her elder daughter. But, her elder daughter was calm and kept supporting her physically, emotionally, financially and even spiritually till the end without expecting anything from her mother. She didn’t even carry any anger towards her mother.

In the meantime, the mother developed tumour and had to be operated. It was found to be ‘just before cancer stage’. But, a few years down the lane, she developed cancer and doctors gave up on her. It was again her elder daughter who came to her rescue and stood by her – by way of finding the right doctor, arranging money and everything. She was cured of cancer but it did eat her organs away. Her heart was enlarged. She developed multiple complications and lived with them for the next couple of decades. She enjoyed life. But, her bitterness increased and she would find new ways to torture her elder daughter. One by one her organs started deteriorating. This is the ‘karma’ of troubling the ‘right one’.

What do you think of the daughter-in-law and her feelings? How right was she in her feelings and how right was karma in treating her so?

What do you think of the daughter?

How do you understand 'a mother' who behaves so?

Pointers to understand the post:

“ We didn’t overcome our pain today. We’ll not in the next few weeks too. It was too deep to overcome in a few days time. And yet, we knew we need to come to our Guru again and again just so that we stick to this path and hold on to this sadhan. Yes, left to ourselves we would be going astray. We had seen it happen so many times before – both with ourselves and with others. We wanted to avoid that from happening this time.” – Healing is not a quick-fix solution. In today’s 2-minute noodles days, we want instant gratification. We don’t have the patience to go through a channel for more than 2-3 minutes. We are ever restless. And that reflects in our spiritual practices and expectations too.

It needs time and patience. It needs regularity. It needs constant prodding from a mentor or a Guru. And yet, it is worth all the pain, time and wait at the end. Be in sadhan. Be regular in sadhan. You will see results only if you are regular in sadhan. Drawing a symbol to get bus doesn’t fall into the “sadhan” that I am talking about.

“We just had to keep going with our sadhan. Yes, we would falter. We would experience pain too in this process. But, this pain was worth it for the prize was worth it. the pain itself was the key to set us free from pain. What a wonderful thought!” – We needed pain to make us realize our area that needs to be addressed and healed. Our key to freedom from pain and suffering also lies in the pain and suffering only! And our techniques help us overcome them easily and more effortlessly in less time.

Me, my guru – Karna receives what he gives!

Pointers to understand the post:

“But, as the day turned to night, Karna couldn’t overlook his hunger. So, he asked the Angel “Brother, you’ve been showing me around all the places. But, I am very hungry. Why don’t you give me something to eat?” – see how Karna addresses the Angel with loads of affection and respect. Just because he had earned a seat in heaven it didn’t go to his head.

Our post, position, money, achievements, contacts and so on shouldn’t make us arrogant. I find many go head strong with “I am a Reiki Master” statement. It is just a degree. Know that. Be that!

Same applies to everything else too!

Be humble. Don’t think we are entitled to anything in this or after life! No one gets respect by demanding. One earns it by his behavior and character. And humility is that attitude that gets you respect from others. Know this and develop that character.

““Because you’ve given various kinds of riches as charity in the World below (meaning on Earth). But you never gave food to anyone. So, you will not receive food. In the heaven, you receive 10 times of what you give on Earth. You can’t receive what you didn’t give!” the Angel said and left.” – So you see, not all our good karmas are encashed in this form and on Earth only. They are also encashed in our astral forms.

The impact of our karma and their workings go beyond one life time and human body!

“So you see you receive what you give in equal measure. That is the Law of Karma. You can’t redeem one act of yours with your desire as you please.” No body, absolutely nobody can redeem their one punya with their any desire. Do not get confused with being good and earning brownie points for doing good.
