Teacher's day - sadhan

 

Teacher's day - sadhan 

https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=teachers+day 

As decided earlier in the link given above, those of you who wish to chant MM by way of thanking your teachers, prepare a list of teachers whom you wish to thank tomorrow and for whom you are chanting and sending reiki tomorrow........

keep the list ready and keep it in front of you when you sit to chant MM tomorrow...

start your reiki with all your symbols and make a declaration that you are chanting by way of thanking all these (by looking at the list in front of you or by telling their name one by one) teachers from your life. You are requesting reiki and the Divine to bless the teachers and their family with abundance of health, wealth, happiness, clarity of thought (and any other wish you have for them) ..

start chanting MM (either aloud or silently as is convenient to you)

close the chanting by programming the reiki....

if you are not able to do chanting in one go, do this procedure every time you start and end the chanting for better results.....

i said 10 malas of MM, but you can increase or decrease the number depending upon your convenience and interest.....

instead of doing it for one day, you can extend it for more no. of days if you so desire....

if you have say 25 teachers in your life whom you wish to thank and send blessing of reiki to, then you can chant 25 malas - at least one per person.....this can be bit difficult for most to do in a single day....you can spread it in 3-5 days as per your convenience.....or 

you can still do only 10 malas for all the 25 teachers - still good.......

those who can't do or don't want to do - no questions asked, no need to explain, be at rest and be with your personal sadhan - that's absolutely fine.....

those who want to do this or any other sadhan recommended on such occasions can do it as and when they want to - blessing someone is not something that need to be told by me every time.......any one can be blessed and sent reiki to any time........choice is yours...you can do it 'n' no. of times /year

just remember, you are doing all this by way of thanking them not to expect some reward as return......we are paying our dues, can't ask favours for that too.....

those who can't do this or any other healing suggested for next weeks, just don't give any explanation to me, seek my understanding in this regard, go on guilt ride and so on......

don't get angry that this is being decided when you are in condition to do this......if you so please, note it down and do it when you please.......

just be with your regular sadhan and be aware of your mind which is creating hell for you by jumping from one emotion to the other......

stay alert and stay aware and find blessing that way........

same rules apply to all other healings in future too.........don't ask repetitive questions.....

“But, words are words. What has it got to do with playing with ball?” he was more than irritated now.

“Well, yes. You know things of the material world and use science and its craft to get best results there. But Master is one adept in subtler science – science of energies. Master knows words are not empty words. They are not made up of letters and sounds. They carry energy. That energy is received by ‘the word’ from the one who utters it.

Imagine ‘He desired and uttered the word and the creation came into existence!” Don’t hurry reading this sentence. Stop here. Meditate on it - its import, its power, its essence! Understand the power of ‘His Word’ that He uttered OM and the world came into existence” If you understand this you’ll understand the power of word.

Similarly, every person’s energy is carried in the ‘word’ that he utters” she stopped signaling a tea-break.

“So, you say our words don’t carry that much energy as Masters” there was contempt in Vaishnav’s voice now.

Though most of us didn’t have his anger or emotion, it was still difficult for us to process and understand what she just said. Why did these masters’s have more energy in their words? Time to become Master, we thought!

But she took her break seriously. She didn’t answer. She replied with a smile before retiring into her quarters. We had to live with samosa’s and kachori’s served by Rahul and Aziz and our displeasure till she returned.

Today ½ an hour seemed like an hour. Surprising how time expands when we are suffering and runs fast when we are happy? Does everyone feel this way or just me?

Read the above given link to understand these points : 

• to understand the power in a Guru's words and their impact in the believer's life
• it is not the physical proximity that bestows 'grace' but the 'purity of belief' that makes all the difference
• people who quote as 'I know him for so many years or I was with him for so many years' hardly get the benefit of 'being with the Guru'. Look at Judas who stayed with one of the best Gurus of all times - Jesus and yet remained slave to his greed and sold his Guru and soul for few silver coins.....
• Character of the person doesn't change because of the proximity to a Guru but when the person is ready to throw away his 'attitude' when he comes in proximity of a Guru receives more than he had come for......
• A person who defines the role of Guru and its impact in his life treats Guru as his genie who is to dance to his tunes. No doubt, he gets angry, irritated at his Guru even when his wrong is shown to him.
• But a person who surrenders to the word of his Guru drops his ego before coming to a Guru and that makes it possible for Guru's blessings to show results....
• When a Guru's blessing is received, a person even without working finds his works and issues resolved on their own.
• When we send reiki to others, they still have to work and our reiki goes to aid them ONLY. But when Guru sends reiki, works get done automatically! And so sensible and pure in heart shishya surrenders his achievements, success, happiness and every thing that he receives to his Guru.

Pointer to understand this post better : 

a. “But, words are words. What has it got to do with playing with ball?” he was more than irritated now. - How many times we must have got irritated for simple words uttered by others? Apply this not only with your Guru (if you have any) but also with your family and friends. Here Guru was explaining and V got irritated for no good reason.......many times our anger stems not from what is happening then but because of the anger that we carry over time on that person......meditate on this. 

b.“So, you say our words don’t carry that much energy as Masters” there was contempt in Vaishnav’s voice now. - Again, we read unnecessarily between the lines. We assume what hasn't been told also and get angry. We dump our anger, irritation, resentment on the other and yet consider ourselves good enough to receive only good from others?!?

Next, instead of meditating on our anger and finding the root cause of it, we justify it with our reasoning......and there in lies our cause of suffering....meditate. Meditate on the attitude especially anger, hatred, irritation (as we go through this post) to understand the root cause of it.....don't use some one as your punch bag for anger and then expect them to be good to you....even if they forgive and don't hold grudge against you, your karma of hurting them will come back in the form of others hurting you and giving back what you have generated and given to the person in your life....

c. Time to become Master, we thought! - what did the Guru say and how did the students interpret it? And then after becoming masters they are angry and confused when they find their issues just being where they were and how they were....wrong understanding comes from faulty mind set......clear the clutter of the mind and only then clarity of thought would develop. All that we presume is not 'correct'.Beware of your thoughts and assumptions!

d. But she took her break seriously. She didn’t answer. She replied with a smile before retiring into her quarters. - When the person is right and is not operating out of ego, they don't have to justify every single time. They are not ready to fight. Not fighting is not their weakness. It is their strength. Only the actual strong can apply 'restraint' even when provoked. They take their decisions when and how they choose to and when needed, not because someone is instigating them to........

e. We had to live with samosa’s and kachori’s served by Rahul and Aziz and our displeasure till she returned. - Here was snacks served by others. It was free which is welcome by many. Most people want to be given things by others. It pains them to give. And yet they couldn't enjoy 'the free' that they so want to receive because of the displeasure within. Situation doesn't give you as much pain as your mind does! Our mind is our greatest enemy!

f. Regarding time - time is time. one hour is always one hour. But when we suffer the pain it looks like eternity and because we want it to be longer while we are happy it seems to move very fast. Both are untrue. So, if we train our mind enough, the tough time also can be lived effortlessly and without counting minutes....it will pass in a jiffy with the right state of mind........mind training doesn't mean 'tough situations and time' wouldn't come but they will seem very small and trivial......

Hope this explanation helped you to understand this post better. This is the way to read all the posts too.........

“But ‘let go’ is ‘let go’ said either by me or by Buddha. What difference should that make to the one to whom I suggest it?” asked Kshama confused.

“Our family members don’t listen to us. And Buddha is inspiring millions of people thousands of years after he has left his body. That difference is because of the ‘centre’ from which it is uttered” replied our Guru.

“I still didn’t get it” replied Kshama.

“And I get so angry at those people also at you – because people, listen when you say these things. But they mock me when I state the same. All because you are a “Master” and I am not” complained Vaishnav.

“Well, let me put it differently for you to understand it then. When a ball is hit by a boy of 5 years, it falls near. But, when the same ball is thrown by an athlete then it falls well beyond 500 mts. The ball is same, why is there a difference in the distance that it travels?

One, of course is the difference in strength of the individual. An athlete’s strength is much more than a mere kid.

Next, is the pressure with which it is hit.

Third, is the technique that is involved. And athlete knows how to hold the bat in right angel, hit the ball with which pressure, direction, direction of wind and so on” our Guru’s explanation surprised us a bit. 

And it became evident through Vaishnav’s question.

“But, words are words. What has it got to do with playing with ball?” he was more than irritated now.

# on receiving and giving advice, integrity of character, words and their impact,

also read to understand  how our reflections are not liked by even us  : https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=bejan

Points to take into consideration : 

• Words are not empty.
• Words are energy filled with the person who utters it.
• Energy given out is responsible for what we receive in life..

She came after 7 days. She bowed to ‘The Great One’ and pleaded again “Great One, please ask my son to stop eating sweets”. 

Buddha looked lovingly at the boy and said “Don’t eat so much of sweets. They are no good. Listen to your mother”.

The boy looked at Buddha, bowed to him and replied “So be it Master”.

The mother was overjoyed, hugged her son, bowed thanking the Great one and left relieved.

Ananda, Buddha’s student found this odd! He asked “Master, you could’ve said those lines the first time that mother had come. Why did you make her come 2 more times?”

Buddha replied with a smile “Because, when she had come the first time, I myself was addicted to sweets. How could I, lover of sweets ask the young lad to not eat them? I thought I could outgrow my love for sweets in one week. So, I asked her to come after a week. In this one week I didn’t eat sweets, but the thought of sweets still lingered in my mind. So, I didn’t and couldn’t ask that boy not to eat sweets when my mind was set on it! This week I worked on my mind. Now, I don’t have even a thought or desire for sweet in me. So, I told that boy not to eat sweet”.

Ananda was both pleased and surprised with his Master’s honesty.

So you see for that honesty to shine forth through one’s character, one has to know one’s inner most desires, thoughts and feelings at every point of time.

And to be honest, one should stop justifying one’s emotions. Only then can we see ‘who we truly are!’ Anybody can parrot ‘words’ heard couple of times, but it is the centre from which it is said that gives ‘energy’ to those words” our Guruji concluded.

# on giving and receiving advice, honesty, character, integrity of character, imitation and real, levels of honesty

also read to understand what defines our perception and our desire   :  https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=hence+Ravana+saw+%E2%80%98object+of+desire%E2%80%99+

Points to consider : 

• Person who is honest with himself doesn't hide his true nature with himself. He doesn't justify his nature with reasoning. In fact he uses reasoning to address his nature, desire, attitudes and then heals them. He uses reasoning to transform himself.
• Any reasoning used to 'be stuck with our personality' is the breeding ground of our 'demonic character'.
• Demonic character is the cause of pain and suffering in our life.
• Demonic character is not our 'Real Nature'. It is acquired and desired by us for its utility. We find 'demonic pleasure' worth pursuing and hence log on to it.
• Every one's real nature is always 'DIVINE'. 

Question to be addressed : 

• Why did boy listen to what Buddha said him to do?
• Does the centre from which one gives advice make a difference in the impact it has on the receiver?
• How can we use every situation to outgrow our weakness every time we come face to face with it?

“Buddha would go from village to village preaching and sharing his knowledge. He would rest in a village for few days. And people from surrounding villages would come to visit the ‘Great Ones!’ People with all sorts of problems would come to visit him seeking their remedy. On one such day, after the discourse a woman brought forth her lad and pleaded ‘The Great One’ “Master, my son eats lots of sweets. It is bad for him. Please ask him not to eat so much of sweets. If you ask him not to he’ll not eat”.

Buddha looked at the boy aged around 7 years old smiled and said “Mother, bring your boy after 7 days. I’ll surely tell him so”.

Mother found it odd but trust she had for Buddha made her leave the place silently after bowing down to him.

She came back after a week and pleaded again “Master, can you just ask my son not to eat sweets”.

Buddha looked at the mother, then at the young lad and closed his eyes for couple of minutes. When he opened he looked at the mother with love and said “Mother, please come after 7 days. I’ll surely do as you ask me to”.

The mother left without asking any questions. She wasn’t angry either. Where ‘trust’ is ‘doubt’ is not! Where there is no doubt, how can anger be there?

She came after 7 days. She bowed to ‘The Great One’ and pleaded again “Great One, please ask my son to stop eating sweets”.

Points addressed : 

• Why one person's advice is well received while the other's not?
• What should be the qualities of the 'giver of advice' while giving and even other wise?
• Does quality of giver make a difference in what he gives?
• Does intention and centre from which it is given makes all the difference? If yes, how?

Questions raised in the post :

• Why did Buddha ask the woman to come after 7 days?
• What attitude of the woman made her come back with her request?
• Was there demand in woman's voice or her conduct? Did she think it was 'the duty' of Buddha to heal her son?
• What are the qualities that the giver of advice should have before giving advice?

sadhan for a day!

Sadhan for a day!

September - one of the best months of the year is here again!

one reason i can give is this is the month that reminds us the value of our teachers in our life......

this saturday september 5th being 'teachers day' let's chant Mrutunjaya mantra 10 malas for the well being of our teachers and their family members .
we are this way thanking our teachers in our life......

you can chant it through out the day........

10 malas is just my number. you can decrease or increase the no. of malas as per your convenience.....

our school teachers must be well past 60's and their health would be a major concern for most.......let's show our gratitude not just in words but in deed.......

those who can talk to them, write to them or even write about them......

teachers also include your drawing teacher, dance teacher and others........

make a list of all your teachers in your journal and that day send reiki to all of them and state that you are chanting for the well being of all of them........

if you don't remember the teachers name - don't worry, just say my kinder garden teacher and even that would do.....

hope i am clear......

saying this in advance as few said they missed the last week's post......

Sadhan day

Sadhan day!

Yesterday night 31st August 2020 from 1.25am - 2.45am I sent reiki to you.........

now why am I saying this?

Is this the only time i have done it and i want to show it off?

i want you to thank me and hear words as how good a master i am etc...?

am i doing for such trivial reasons?

Many of you are having experiences which you are not able to understand, co-relate or get a hang of because you think either it is your imagination or brush it aside as 'momentary hallucination'. 
You term it as coincidence as you are not able to place the connection between cause and effect of few of your experiences....

some of you have understood long back even without me explaining physically or verbally.......they don't require to collaborate their experience with this information....

this is for those who are confused and trying to figure what is happening at certain period of times......

by adding adjective to me after reading this you are taking away the purpose of giving or sharing this information with you.....

don't brush it aside with your compliment or understanding......

sit with this information - meditate on this - find out how this information can be experientially validated - sit in silence, go within, check with the time frame and your experience ....

were you aware of anything at all?

did you experience anything?

if no, then how can you know if what i said was true or not?

if no, where is the fault?

what should be done to experience this? where is the lapse? what can you do to correct it?

if you do 'that' which would give you an experience, then will it make a difference? Where and how?

if i am sending then you'll automatically receiving, there what difference does it make if you are knowing it or not? 

think about it.........
