Me, my Guru
On Buddha and sweets
But our
Guru continued her explanation oblivious to our fight within “Before
understanding difference between Masters and our words let us see one example.
Imagine a bulb. Now it is covered by a vase which is broken at various places.
Now see/imagine the light that comes out of that bulb. Look at the amount of
space lighted up because of all those cracks in that vase. What do you see?”
she asked.
“A room
brightened up and looking beautiful!” we replied.
“Exactly!
Now that bulb represents our consciousness, the energy that we, the atman –
anything you call it. Vase represents the etheric sheath or aura of
Masters”.
“So, our
Masters aura is broken?” blurted one of us.
And we all
laughed. We loved to see our masters fail. We loved to make them less grand
than they were. We loved to see them fall! We loved to break them.
“No! His
‘ego body’ is broken. And so, the light of ‘his consciousness’ expresses
through that ego sheath so beautifully. Anybody who works on breaking his ego
body gets to use his ‘inner and greatest energy’ to work through him. And that
can move mountains.
Whereas we
– we have hard ‘ego bodies’ not letting ‘the light’ of Divine express through
us”
“Then where
do we draw our energies from?” asked Kshama.
She used
the term ‘we’ while explaining ‘ego bodies’. Did she use it knowing our anger
and to appease that or was she saying she was just one among us?
It would be
a welcome thought and fact for most of us who found it difficult to put her on
the pedestal. But whatever, we were to address that at a later date.

# on giving and receiving, ego, divinity, aura,

Read the above post to understand these points :
- All the students are staying with the same Guru. Then how come Aruni received all when others received not?
- Is Sage Dhaumya partial or egoistic who is flattered by the act of Aruni? Does anyone want to be a student of such a Guru who is so easily fooled by a simple act?
- No. It was not the act that touched Sage Dhaumya. It was the sincerity of Aruni that touched his heart and love flowed unrestrained. Love is God and the Love of Guru when received, Universe works in favour of such a student.
- That's why Judas suffered the curse of Jesus when Jesus was sold by him "It was better if you hadn't existed". And Judas committed suicide and yet he is said to linger in the Universe still.........whereas other students of Jesus went on to become great Apostles during their life time......
- Remove Guru and shishya from this story and replace it with Universe/God/Reiki and yourself. Universe is ever benevolent and ready to bestow abundance in all walks of life but it is uour nature that becomes block in receiving it.
- Healing doesn't force Universe to give us anything. It makes us eligible to receive what Universe has been giving to us always!
- Heal, let go - of that anger, resentment, hatred.
- Drop that reasoning that is justifying your anger and hatred and asking you to protect your ego. Drop it and you become miracle!
- Let go off the emotions that are creating hell for you every waking minute of your life and then lo! you become a miracle!
Pointers to understand this post :
a."It would be a welcome thought and fact for most of us who found it difficult to put her on the pedestal" - Go through the entire blog of last 9-10 years. No where in 'Me, my guru series you will find Guru asking to be put on pedestal. She never demands any adoration, flattery or anything. Everything is done and assumed by the students themselves. They think on her behalf and call her both good and bad names. They make her and then become uncomfortable with her 'greatness' that they created and then they tear it apart or find ways to bring her 'image' down. Look at the redundancy of all these acts.......we play these games all through our life. First we make them, then we break them! Look into every relationship. First we glorify someone and say we can't live without them and then call them names and say they created hell in our life. How and when? Give it a thought!
b."But whatever, we were to address that at a later date. ..." - Even when we get a thought that is worth a dime and is like a light house that is showing us where to go, we shut it down very smartly (thinking we are smart and doing it right!) and go about our business of being with our self that is disturbing and senseless.....why do we postpone facing ourselves as much as possible?
Miracle a day!
Yesterday I saw a red dragonfly - first time I saw such a dragonfly.....i usually see the usual common one -
but this one was so red and so beautiful........
So inspite of pain, anger,
frustration, hopelessness, despair, fear, anxiety and related emotions and
feeling, sit to heal yourself. Heal the mental state. 
We started talking among ourselves – of course not there but
out in the front yard. We had come to talk about Il Dolce far Niente but she
taught us the ‘art of dying’. When she was narrating that story with that
facial expressions and tone modulation, we felt ‘the death to be so poetic and
beautiful’. Infact, some of us even wanted to experience that too! This was one
fear that gripped the whole race and yet with the simple story she made it into
a vacation – an exotic one that was worth looking forward to! In fact we became
more curious to know more about death and the life after that.
