Becoming eligible for grace – By taking initiative!

To BhagyaRekha, Aparna for taking the initiative and making sweets and celebrating on reaching milestone 123 on your own. https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2023/10/becoming-eligible-for-grace-by-healing.html?showComment=1696489686980

So many times, this point has been told to you.

And you two took initiative to “follow this instruction” without reminding this time. And for that attitude, you will receive Reiki for next 2 days!

Some will follow an instruction when they are instructed to – they come under a medium level of students!

Some go the extra mile to follow the instructions given by their mentor/guide/elder to fulfill them. They also follow the instructions which were given to them long back! They fall under the category of “better level of students”. When this quality is regularly practiced and made into a habit and thereby their nature, they end up being the “shishya” of that “instructor”. That is the time they become eligible to have a “guru” in their life. 

Guru can’t be made by force! You can’t call someone your Guru with an intention of making them do what you desire to achieve in life! You become a “shishya” first by developing such attitudes as this “going the extra mile” in following an instruction. Then the person for whom you went that extra mile automatically becomes your Guru!

Be sincere in developing these qualities and the path itself will become your Guru and guide you to your better self!

The Mystic says on forgiveness!

 

The Mystic says on forgiveness!

Forgiven doesn’t mean forgotten! If you forget that the other has broken your trust and cheated on you, you’ll be fooled once more by the other. So tread with caution the next time you give a chance to the person who has cheated you. He has broken your trust. So, this time he needs to work for it to earn it! Forgive for that is imperative for your peace of mind. But also remember what he has done to you – that is imperative for your safety. Tread with caution and don’t forget the lesson that situation has taught you – that is for your growth! 

Forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean you take back the person in your life! That is a choice left to you and that depends on so many other factors too! But unless you forgive, you can’t have peace of mind. So, forgiving should be understood and should be worked towards for your own sweet self!

Wow moment – Crows and other birds

 

Wow moment – Crows and other birds

Yesterday evening as I was walking on the terrace, I stood still watching in wonder beautiful sight! I saw a flock of cranes flying!

And then, a few minutes later, I saw a flock of crows! Did you know that the flock of crows is actually called “murder” – yes murder, interesting I would say!

And then again a flock of cranes went past our building.

Then a murder of crows – twice.

It was quite a sight!

Life is beautiful! God is beautiful! Nature is beautiful!

This was my wow moment! What was your recent one?

The Mystic says - "On looking within!"

 

The Mystic says - "On looking within!"

The Mystic says “Just look within for 3-4 days. Just become aware of what you are thinking and feeling at least for one hour or at least half an hour per day. You’ll know how painful it is to look at yourself! But is it really painful? No, it is not! It is shameful. And we are not able to look at our “real selves”. We are not able to face the “truth” about ourselves. And that inability we term as ‘painful’. Just imagine! We had been so loudly and openly judging one and all. We called everyone names, and when the “truth” hits us about ourselves, we cry! What an irony!!!

Now, is the journey within really painful? YES!

Need it to be painful – NO! A BIG NO!

Then, why is it painful and shameful?

Because we identify with the wrong “US” all along! When this awareness hits us, we stop identifying with the “I” that I am and drop and let go of identifying myself with the painful “I” which is termed as “Ego”.

And then, we get to know ourselves for what we are – layer by layer and that is a revelation and beautiful! It is also exhilarating and joyous! It is wonderful all through!

This exercise is beneficial in one big way for everyone. We’ll now work on being truthful and honest. We’ll realize it is better to be ‘right’ than ‘act good or right’. We’ll realize that it is easy to be simple. We’ll simply have our thoughts and way of living. We’ll walk towards our happiness and peace. We’ll earn our respect and ONLY then we’ll outgrow our low self-esteem. No amount of talk, possessions and people in our life can fill our low self-esteem. Only when we raise in our acts will we be worthy of our respect. And we owe ourselves that respect and love! But, all this starts with looking within and accepting what we are first. Only then, can we decide what to throw away from us and what to develop in us. Only with these corrections done the right way, will we walk towards our abundance and our rightful wealth which is truly ours for asking – the Kingdom of Heaven!”

 Becoming eligible for grace – By healing self!

Those of you to whom I have promised to send Reiki if you are told 2/3 times in the same week, don’t worry that you’ll receive only once.

No, you’ll receive reiki as many times as I have promised even though it be in the same week that I promised to send Reiki to you on two/three different occasions and reasons. So relax there!  

I keep every account different. I don't mix accounts, so relax and enjoy receiving Reiki!

Why look within?

 

Why look within?

We all desire but are we worthy of our desire?

Increase your worthiness by just walking inward!

"Look within and all your worldly needs will be taken care of by me," says Lord Krishna in Bhagwath gita. And to believe you just have to hear people who have embarked on this journey!

The benefits are:

c. peace of mind

f. we know what real happiness is 

g. our self worth increases. 

h. we fall in love with self and then starts the most romantic love story of our life

Question time:

Those who have taken time to look within, what treasures did you find?

What did you know about yourself?

How does knowing yourself help you in dealing with day-to-day life?
