Me, My Guru

…contd….

Without even turning her head she just said, “Look at the leaf on that Banyan tree”.  I did.  There was nothing to ‘look at it’. I searched for something to be there on or underneath it.  Nothing.  I found it odd.  I looked at it.  She had a faint smile on her lips and she was looking at that leaf.  I looked again at the leaf.  Again nothing!

I found it irritating but I had to follow her instructions and so I stood beside her and started looking at the leaf. Sometime passed.  I looked at her. She was still looking at the leaf.  I sat down. But having nothing much to do, I started looking at the leaf again.

Some time passed.  A breeze passed through me.  I closed my eyes and enjoyed it.  And with a smile that spread on my lips and that which had reached my eyes I opened my eyes.  There was ‘the leaf’.  It looked beautiful.  A tremor of joy spread all over my body. “It’s beautiful” I said aloud. “Shh! Don’t talk. Just see!” my Guru said…

“Why can’t I share this beautiful joy with her?” I thought.  I felt sad the very next moment.  But, it didn’t seem to affect her.  Now the leaf didn’t hold that beauty to me.  With a frown on my face, I kept looking at it without any interest.  It swaved in the wind.  It’s swaying seemed rhythmic.  It sort of looked cute.  I smiled.  And then I realized when it swayed it didn’t bother or fear of falling down.  It just did.  My God! What confidence.  It just lived in the moment.  I should learn this from this leaf. I wanted to share this insight with my Guru but she didn’t seem to know of my existence, so I continued looking at the leaf again.

Sadhan on sunsets

Sadhan on sunsets

If you are doing Reiki for your intention – trust that it’ll come true.

“But maam, when?” – No one had answers for this question.

“But maam, he got his wish fulfilled, when will my wish be granted?” – Basically stupid question! Your wish will be fulfilled at ‘your time’ – not when you demand it to be fulfilled!

There are two types of people who do intention Reiki.

First type are those who get angry right from first week saying ‘but I am doing Reiki since a week, month..etc..’ They become more and more irritated, tensed, angry and depressed. They are becoming more selfish, adamant and seeking pity from others.

The second are the ones who remember every intention that was fulfilled in the past and keep being grateful for that. This in turn increases their faith. They address their fears and doubts with various healing techniques. They keep saying “If Reiki has given me this tough situation, there is something I need to learn from it”. They keep looking for flaws in their attitudes and keep correcting them. They keep reminding themselves “Even this shall pass!” As they are in pain, suffering and depressed, they keep with the techniques. Sometimes, not even with faith but as a routine. And that in turn brings them out of this state of mind sooner than later.
