Miracle a day!

Miracle a day!

Today's miracle........



I saw lots of dragonflies.........

How does looking at dragonfly count as a miracle?



I must have already said 'I saw dragonfly today!' and yet I am repeating it......why? 

How can the same thing be considered a miracle again and again?



Can a same thing be a miracle again and again?



If yes, if possible give an example with your explanation........

If no, then give a reason........


# miracle a day, dragonfly, life and its moments....

On World!

On World!



The nature of this Nature is 'change'.
And we 'expect' this nature to remain 'same'.



We expect 'changelessness' from the one whose innate nature is to change!
And we say 'world is full of pain and suffering'.



There is no pain and suffering in this world.
The way we relate with this world is the basis of this pain and suffering!



Our expectations from this world to remain the same is the cause of this pain and expectations!



Work on this expectation. Heal it! Work with it! Work around it! Transcend it!



Then the Truth will dawn that there is no suffering!
Meditate on it!



Logic will give you an understanding that will accommodate you to use this Truth in the most inappropriate way and place - as before!
So - Meditate!

Points to be understood :

• What happens to us is not as painful as it is made by us.
• We give 'definitions' and 'conditions' for our happiness.
• Any deviation from that condition drives us crazy.
• Change the definition and the way you feel about an event changes - just like that!
• We are not happy with people and events in our life. And yet, when they change because it is inevitable, we cry and go around talking about our loss!
• Look within! 
• Meditate!
• Know the cause of your cry and be free from the cause of your pain and suffering!
• Cause of pain is within us. Release from that pain is also within us.
• Choose wisely! 

Today's miracle : 

Saw lots of dragonflies.

Saw lots of bats ........and it was still evening and yet.....

Few FAQs with Guru

(S – stands for student and G- stands for Guru in this post)

G – No. I consider myself greater than Krishna and so let my student commit 100 times more mistakes before I take some action?

S – (Student laughs at her sense of humour) So you too kill them?

G – No, not physically. I just send them away from my life. I don’t get angry and so don’t punish them. I realize by then that no amount of work on them is going to make a change in their attitude for now. After the ‘saturation point’ that I’ve set for them I reached I ask them to go elsewhere. I just stop seeing them and teaching them. What is the fun of meeting each other if we are not good with each other? If I am not of any benefit then the purpose of me being in his life becomes redundant and hence I part as friends with them. No malice nothing! I don’t send them away because I am angry at them. I no more have anything more to offer them. So, I ask them to leave so I can direct my energies on someone else who has and will come seeking what I have to offer them.

No good carrying a dead relationship as ever! Better to say good bye while we still have good feelings for each other!

S – Then they will go to other masters seeking their help.....

G – Good for both of them! Every nut will find its place. A person who wants to run illegal business or relationship has to go elsewhere seeking advice and help. My expertise is limited to ONLY GIVING ADVICE ON DEVELOPING CLARITY OF THOUGHT, HEALING KARMA AND OUTGROWING KAMA, KRODHA, LOBHA, MADA AND MATSARYAM. Not to instigate that in the person. And rightly said by you, there will be people using peoples’ need and greed to their benefit in the guise of being a ‘master’. Good for them and good for the student who goes to them. God bless them both! 

Shakuni wouldn't suite Arjuna and Duryodhan wouldn't benefit from Krishna. Each master unto his student. That's why it is Krishna for Arjuna and Shakuni for Duryodhan. What you are walking towards decides which master you get attracted to!

And that is the beauty and wonderful thing about all this! No master is good for all! No master comes for all! No one master is enough for all!

Each unto his nature and desire!

There is an animal and Divine in each one of us! That is what Vedic philosophy states! And I teach to overcome that animal in us and to light that Divine spark within us. Let only those who want this, stay, let others go where their desires and karma take them!

I work within these parameters only. Just because you demand me to ‘fulfill’ your ‘adharmic’ desires I am not going to break my parameters. 

S - How would you wind up your advice for me?



G - Seek not favours from your master. Seek not pity from your master. Seek not fulfillment of your desires from your master. Seek ways to work towards your Divine Nature. That itself will take take of everything else. 

When you seek blessings, favours, material gains and hold on to animal nature, even when God's bless you, it will not reach you right! 



Be not with a master who works to please you. He will exploit you in more than one ways. He has nothing to offer you. He will use you for his benefit only.

Instead be with a master who gives you pain of losing your lower nature. He is working towards your higher good. He means good for you. He seeks that good which would benefit you for all your future janmas too to come!

And pray that you are given clarity of thought to know the right from the wrong!

# each unto his deed, master and student,

Points to be taken : 

• There is an animal within each one of us!
• There is a Divine spark within each one of us!
• Master is one who lets you and shows you to kill the animal within and ignite the Divine within, each time you falter in life.
• The one who promises to fulfill your desires may be called a master - but there are actually different words for such people.
• The one who goes to such people because of one's own greed and nature falls into their trap and gets exploited. 
• It is our weakness that drives us towards such people. Our weakness is at fault. As long as we are weak from within, there will be people who will exploit us.

Few FAQs with Guru

(S – stands for student and G- stands for Guru in this post)

S – Don’t you get angry the way students treat you at times? How do you deal with it?

G – I also get upset. Like Krishna who killed Shishupala at his 100^th mistake. But till 99^th mistake Krishna was calm and poised. He just kept reminding Shishupala of his mistakes but Krishna himself did not lose his temper, anger or peace of mind.

S – But still, we would lose our peace of mind? Don’t you? How do you maintain it?

G – In a certain Superbazaar a man was holding a toddler in his arms. The kid was crying away to glory. Everyone was looking at the father of the child. But the father of the child was very calm and kept repeating calmly “It’s ok Charles, just few more minutes and mom will be here. Relax!” Few minutes later, the mother of the child came and calmed the kid. One lady walked up to the woman and said “You are so lucky to have such an understanding husband. He kept telling Charles, your kid to be calm all through”. The mom answered surprised “But Charles is not my son’s name; it is his father’s name”

Similarly, I just keep reminding myself, only few more mistakes and I can send him away from myself. So, bear with it for some more time.

S – So, do you also kill students after their 100^th mistake? (Student laughs as he asks this question)

G – No. I consider myself greater than Krishna and so let my student commit 100 times more mistakes before I take some action?

S – So you too kill them?

# punishment, as you sow so you reap, karma, mistakes, sin and errors, 

also read : https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=pastor 

Questions addressed and points to be taken :

• How does a Guru address 'sins' of his students?
• What is the right way to address the wrong of any person in life?
• Errors and mistakes can be forgiven. But sins are not pardoned. But we need not do the job. Karma does it better than you and me put together!
• We reap the effects of our nature, attitude, character (or should I say characterlessness?). If they are good, our returns are good. If they are bad, our returns are bad.
• If one thinks he is right, then there is nothing to worry. He will reap as per his deeds which he supposes to be good anyway.
• But if he thinks it is right but if they are actually adharm or wrong/hurtful then he will not reap as per his 'assumed' belief but as per his acts and what they stand for!
• When we can confidently stand by our acts why fear to bear their consequences?
• Don't take it upon yourself to punish people who have wronged you. Let karma do its duty. You move on in your life! 

Life Tip : 

This garden tip would be very useful for gardening lovers....

Once you eat bananas, don't throw away their peel. Put them as manure for your potted plants and see the miracle unfold in front of your eyes........

Even those bananas which have become too dark for consumption, don't throw them away. Simply bury them in your pots and lo! What a wonder!

Benefits are -

This way we can better the growth of our plants.

We can reduce the garbage that we throw away.

We will have less garbage to recycle.......

and that means less pollution......

Few FAQs with Guru

(S – stands for student and G- stands for Guru in this post)

S – How come you don’t answer few questions?

G – I answer all questions? Even ‘not answering’ is an answer. You don’t take it as you don’t want to hear it. You expect me to give the answer that you seek and hence can’t hear my ‘not answering’ as an answer.

S – What does it mean?

G – It depends. Sometime it may mean, question is redundant and doesn’t deserve an answer. Like ‘is it not hot today?’ or ‘Should I not do this?’ Answer is already in the question for first type of question and yet you ask. There you don’t seek an answer as you already know it. You just want to make a sound as you are not comfortable with the silence around you and you wish to make noise.

Every time, while teaching, I would have given the answer as to when to do and how to do any healing. And each answer is given more than once for sure! And yet you ask, not because you don’t remember the answer or don’t know the answer – but because you want to go against what I already told you to do – say ‘don’t heal this way etc’. Why you do is something that you need to understand yourself. They are not questions in any way. They are just your ways of seeking attention. How do you expect me to answer that? Think!

Next some questions are no questions. They are just accusations in the form of questions like “but is not a Guru supposed to give or do? Isn’t it?” What do I answer for that? How do I answer that? It just reflects your demands, character flaw, nature, expectations and what not! So being silent I take your invalid, illogical and ill-based accusations that come in the form of seeking answers or clarifications.

And for very many questions - I don’t lie, and I can’t or shouldn’t tell the truth. So, I keep mum. Thus, the reasons are many for not answering.

S – Don’t you get angry the way students treat you at times? How do you deal with it?

# Questions and reply, receiver and giver,

also read : https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=seeking+answers 

Questions addressed and points to be taken :

• Even 'not answering' is an answer. If you don't like it, the problem is in you, not in the giver.
• What makes the person 'not give an answer' in the first place when the question is posed? Have you thought about it?
• We jump to our emotion of being hurt or getting angry at the person who didn't answer us. But do we look within and check our intention, validity of our question, sense in our question to see where we were wrong in the first place?
• Demands are 'considered' or treated as 'questions'. Demands don't warranty as questions.
• "Should you not be giving it?" though looks like a question is actually a demand put forth. And that demand is considered as an entitlement. We can dream, wish, pray - but all that doesn't entitle us to our wishes. 
• Why sometimes a question is not answered or addressed?
• Beggars cannot be demanding! Isn't it? 
• Those who seek favours can't be in the demanding position. Can they? Think about it!
• If you hate or angry with above two sentences and law then outgrow that stage. Work towards becoming 'less and less dependent' on external things. Work towards freedom from 'desires'. Work towards freedom from suffering!

Few FAQs with Guru

(S – stands for student and G- stands for Guru in this post)

S – Without expecting how can we desire?

G – Like a child who plays and forgets. Desire and let it go. Leave it into the Universe.  Next, get on with your life. Don’t be hovering over your desire. Just enjoy this life that is right in front of you. Every time mind goes towards your desire, bless your desire and then immediately bring your mind to present moment. Be now and here again and again. Work on being and loving whatever you are doing now – it can be as simple as cleaning. But be with it – and lo! Your desire knocks on your door faster than you expected. 

But keep cribbing about it, imagining what if’s with it, getting irritated about it, being envious who have it – all this and other related acts will send your object of desire more and more away from you! 

                                          

Desire, but don’t expect it. Don’t push aside life as you are waiting for the fulfillment of your desire. Don’t condition its happening at appointed time. Develop trust. Don’t think logically. Don’t justify with your arguments. Drop all these acts. Just live this moment. Get yourself detached from your desire. Act as if it means nothing to you and lo! It’s happened to you!

                            

S – Does this attitude work on all levels of materialization?

G – Always without exception! Develop this attitude for once and reap its benefits for life time.

                              

S – How come you don’t answer few questions?

G – I answer all questions? Even ‘not answering’ is an answer. You don’t take it as you don’t want to hear it. You expect me to give the answer that you seek and hence can’t hear my ‘not answering’ as an answer.

Questions addressed :

• How to desire?
• What helps in fulfillment of a desire?
• Detachment and desire - what is the connection?

Points to be taken : 

• Hope but not expect.
• Pray but don't demand.
• Wait but be not desperate.
• Seek but don't expect others to be your sub-servants.
• Guru is not a genie who fulfills your every demand. He is there only to give clarity of thought to you.
• Good or bad - we face the consequence of our every act. 
• Thinking we can get away from all our 'deeds' by seeking someone's blessing is a foolish thought! Imagine every crook, criminal would use it to his every act! If it is wrong that they get condoned of their sins, how can we expect to get away from our acts?

Few FAQs with Guru

S – Ok, then what about energies?

G – When you start generating right kind of energy, you slowly get logged on to the energy source that is immense and once tapped it can be directed towards any goal of your life. Gandhi used it for social cause. Who could have thought non-violence could get us freedom – but it did! Krishna used it to bring about social order and establish Dharma.

It was the same ‘tapping’ into the ‘soul energy’ that made M.S.Subbalakshmi sing in the U.N. too! it is the same source that made Ratan Tata and JRD Tata human magnets of wealth.

It is the same source that Akshay Kumar, the film actor connects to that made him still give 100% inspite of his first 18 flops. Who gets opportunity to sign next film with even one flop? And here he was being signed inspite of 18 flops. It’s the energy he radiated. He logged on to that centre through his martial arts training. Maybe, even he doesn’t know that. But the way he conducts himself and other stars do, well it is for everyone to see the vast difference.

Where and why you use it is up to you. But once you log on to it, you are not living as a beggar begging for anyone’s blessing. You become the source of energy that attracts objects of its choice.

questions addressed and points to be understood :

• The one who is connected to his soul is more energetic, focused, successful, mature, happy and one who spreads joy to people around him.
• We can draw energies from this body which is very limited.
• We can draw energies from our intellect which is more than body but much less than our soul connect.
• We can draw energies from our emotional centre or heart or emotion called love which is much more than intellect but still less than soul connect.
• The one who gets connected to soul has immense energy at his disposal which he can direct for self and for the whole world at once and still be rich with it!!! 

Insight Tip : 

There is incessant rain pouring in Hyderabad, India since three days! Many are complaining that it is irritating and boring. Some are happy - the rain lovers and the romantics! Some are enjoying to laze around drinking cups of tea and having hot samosas with an excuse of rain.....

there are also those who are to face this rain living on roads......

https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=khilonon 

We take many things for granted. We end up saying "yes, yes, I agree I have all this but...." 

by using that but we have negated all that we have. We say it is no big deal to have them. Some of us also say 'I have X, Y, Z but I don't want it. What is the use of having something that I don't want or use?'  - We take our houses - however they are - rented, broken, leaking, old, far off (I still don't understand what this far off means?!) etc, still we have a house and that's why we are enjoying our rains.......imagine the plight of those kids and people who are staying on the roads.....how can they enjoy this rain?

Work towards things that you so want and desire. But with the happiness and contentment that comes with validating all that we still have in our lives. Don't take what we have for granted! We are demeaning the 'value' of things and people we have in life by 'not being happy' for having them. 

Work towards your object of desire. Wait for your object of desire to come into your life. But don't stop being happy now. Don't insult what you have now by repeatedly saying "oh, I don't need this or what is the use of having this?"

Think about it!
