On healing - its need and techniques
Contd...........
I’ll just give of examples.
Please try to understand the varying degree of emotion attached to each type
and hence the need to heal them differently.
Type 1 situation : Anger on spouse for
following and related reasons:
1.forgotten birthday
2. Doesn't keep house clean
3.doesn’t get up at 5am (or
whatever) and instead sleeps till 8am (or whatever)
4.treats in restaurants like
Minerva, Taj Mahal or kamath (I am giving eg. Of restaurants at Hyderabad) on
special days (These places buffet is around Rs.250/- and not some Rs.50/- meal
case)
5.gives money/gifts to his
mother/family on occasions/regularly.
Such of cases is a clear case
of ‘Situation is real but suffering is optional’.
All these and related cases
doesn’t need healing on the other person but the one who is complaining needs
to heal his ‘perception’ and ‘expectation’. So, such cases healing tag line can
be –
“Situation is real,
Suffering is option!”
(Even today people tell me,
this is a greater Mantra than Gayathri for them, because it works wonders for
them and gives them results immediately too!)
Type B situation: either you
are misunderstood and hence taunted or made fun of regularly.
In such of cases, the reason
is –
a. The other feels inferior to you and hence wants to hurt
you and so resorts to mocking you/insulting you/ making fun of you.
b. Knows you are better than him and he can never raise
himself to your bar and hence the reaction.
c. Had different boundary limits than you and doesn’t think
he is hurting you.
d. Envies you having what he thinks he deserves more than
you.
Now question yourself. Would
you do anything to exchange places with him? Would you want to lose the
quality that makes you different in the crowd just to be accepted by that
mediocre crowd?
If no, why are you even thinking about them, talking about them
or complaining about them.
On any given day, I would
rather be successful, alone and mocked than be mediocre and be part of that
group (accepted by them). And I give same values to my students. I can’t and
don’t teach what I don’t practice. So I say, ‘stand tall, be successful even if
means you are misunderstood and mocked rather than be respected for being like
them.
“When elephants walk, dogs
bark” (and elephants don’t bother).
The way they treat me reflects
who they are. It doesn’t reflect what I am or what I am worthy of receiving!
