Me, my Guru – on  heaven and hell

We sat silent for sometimes. Each took time to process his/her respective journey. We looked into our falls and our little victories. We looked at the various hell we had chosen in the past. We also saw how we left them for good - at times! We noticed our choices. 

We found ‘our little heavens’ not once but so many times, created by us. We took pride in our journey. We felt happy about the ‘joy ride’ into our creations. We saw the connection of our attitudes to our hell and heavens. We understood it better now. Now we could see for sure how our every act, thought became cause of hell or heaven. 

We became creators. We felt like Brahma (the creator) in our own little lives! We saw how we created our worlds every single minute and every single day! We also felt like Shiva (the destroyer of ignorance and the God of death) as we saw how we ‘killed’ our ignorance (in bits and pieces) and ego. 

We may not have control over the happenings of the world. But the world within us, that was totally within our reach. We decided to win that world for ourselves. We wanted to create heaven for ourselves. And all these thoughts, decisions, wishes started with healing our attitudes, healing ourselves! And that, as a Reiki Channel, was literally in our hands. So........

So, we started doing hands-on silently……….

# love and expectations, relationships, suffering, depression, self pity, destiny, decisions. happiness, feeling low

Questions addressed :

• "If I hadn't taken that decision, I would have been so happy. Why did I choose this ?" - Know any decision you had taken would still give you same pain and suffering. Because whatever the decision you still would be YOU and that would be the cause of pain or happiness in your life!

Points to be understood :

• We choose because of 'who we are'. And then suffer 'what we choose' for who we are!
• We would suffer anyhow. Whatever we choose we would suffer as long as we are who we are!
• Only when we change from within will we be happy and not suffer our choices. Then we'll make right choices. And even when life gets us to choose wrong, we don't suffer because of that!
• With wrong attitudes like expectations, conditions, selfishness, greed, lust etc I will create hell in heaven.
• With right attitudes like love, selflessness, sharing and caring, giving rather than receiving, sympathy, respect for others choices and way of leading life, respecting others freedom etc I will create heaven even in hell!
• Hell or heaven depends on WHO I AM and not on WITH WHOM I AM or WHERE I AM!

Quarantine Challenge :

Heard about ice bucket challenge? Well, let's start "Covid Challenge". This Covid has proved once again that the "people with weak immune system and bad health conditions" are more prone to it and also find it difficult to fight it out!

So, let's get inspired by Covid! It has come to teach us something. Lets learn it. 

Let's make "strong India" by gaining our health. Let's work on losing weight and thereby reducing the reasons for BP, sugar,thyroid and other lifestyle related diseases. Those who are already having 'correct weight' work on increasing your 'stamina'. If you can climb 5 floors of stairs then make it 10. If you can do 50 pushups then increase it to 100. If you can skip for 500 then do 1000.

"I'll lose 10 kgs" promised someone to me.  I challenge you to lose yours /increase stamina as the case may be.

Who among you will accept this challenge?

Note : You can't lose it by not eating and following such wrong methods. It should be through proper diet and exercise only.

Attitudes

Attitudes

The most important for any healing is ‘attitude’ as we all very well know. Then, what are the attitudes that hamper my FA in my life. I’ll just give few examples to reflect on wrong attitudes – please take time to reflect on other attitudes. Don’t brush it aside saying ‘I am not like this’ or ‘This applies to so and so person correctly’. Are we not bothered about our FA here. Then why the talk about x, y, or z in our life?

1. One lie many would love to say emphatically is “I am not a money minded person. I am not interested in money. I don’t like or need money.” Think about this statement. Why do we say this in the first place? What is the message I am sending to the world at large? I want to educate my kids in the best universities and yet say ‘I don’t need money’. I want articles to make life of my kids and family members comfortable and still say ‘I don’t want money’. Monthly atleast twice I need to go to hotels to entertain my near and dear but still say ‘I don’t need money’. Should I continue? What exactly makes me say this ‘complete white lies’.
2. One more statement which is a great give away of our personality is “I never get what I want though I deserve it. But all others get more than what they deserve.” What character is reflected when a person states such dialogues? How and why it affects FA of that person? Please elaborate.
3. Wastage. Reiki is abundance. But reiki and nature is against wastage. I request you all to expand and explain this statement too.
4. Can you come up with such related attitudes with regards to money – spending and earning that is bad for FA?

As you write in detail I’ll go on to write the next blog…….

Me, my guru – Karna receives what he gives!

You are connecting the wrong dots here!

YOU ARE ASSUMING WRONG! Law of the Universe doesn’t cater to your demands, assumptions and expectations. Our pain and suffering are the affect of these wrong attitudes.

By doing good to others we are cleansing our souls and karma. It aids us in becoming pure. Being pure is the pre-requisite to Realize Self. That’s all!

It has got nothing to do with how others would behave with us or treat us. Their behavior reflects their attitudes, character, level of consciousness and their choices. It reflects who they are! It impacts their karma!

And yet if you are desperate for a ‘good relationship’ with people then you have a special sadhan technique for that taught to you in class. Do that and see results.

This is like saying “Maam I know all the capitals of every country in the World and yet, why did I fail in maths?

Or

“I know all the tables in maths and yet why did I fail in languages?”

Can you see how baseless these questions are?

The same is the way we connect our sadhan or acts of our life with events in our life.

Do not connect the wrong dots ever – say that again! You will find no right answer that way. You’ll only be frustrated and disappointed. You’ll end up going in circles. Ask the right questions to seek answers that’ll free you from bondage.

Work on your disturbing emotions when they rise. Only when you’ve sub-dued them, seek answers” so saying, she left us for the day.

Blessing that turned into curse – Me, My Guru

contd....


Blessing that turned into curse – Me, My Guru

And it also showed me that my healing has made that change in me over the years and I would always ask “Why should I heal now when I am fine or don’t have any issues that I complain about?”

Today’s pain was Universal. We all felt that the ‘wrong’ were not punished enough. Infact, the wrong doers seemed to be doing pretty good in their lives inspite of their mean, wrong attitudes and the hurt they brought about in others lives.

“Can you be more specific?” she asked.

Yes, we hardly gave her facts and yet expected her to answer our questions. And on the other side were the people who dumped on her unnecessary data and ate away her time, patience and energy.

She would say “get to the point” and yet….

Both ways we didn’t even know how to ask questions right and suffered with answers that we were not totally happy or contended with! 

contd... 

(suggested reads :https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=asking+questions )

Points that can be understood/ to be looked into : 

Why do we make our happiness and pain relative to others happiness and pain?

Cause of not getting 'right answer' all through our lives - many times....

on understanding!

On understanding!

As long as I think 'I am right 'already' then there is no need to understand anything and change anything......

As long as am right, I will be justifying my words and actions and trying very hard only to prove that so! Then where is the question of 'understanding' the answer or solution? 

Even when the answer is 'given' I can't take as I am 'already' right and I don't need to correct anything. It is the other person who is wrong and misunderstanding.

A simple verbal 'sorry' cannot make the wrong of misunderstanding and a complain that 'I am not being addressed/understood/ heard/ answered"

"Sorry" is to be said and felt knowing that I am wrong and need to change the way I act / feel/ am / think. It is said when I realize that I regret my action / feel / think and am  'putting effort' in the right direction to change. 

Being what I am, my actions being what they were, my thoughts assuming that I am right - well sorry becomes 'hallow' and meaningless.

Only 'humility' that I am 'wrong' somewhere and the other especially when it is 'master/Reiki/god' (who are supposed to know more than you!?) know more than me can make you understand.

Humility brings acceptance of the same fact.

Acceptance makes us look within sincerely - not to justify ourselves but to address our flaws.

Then that acceptance looks at the problem area and accepts it.

Only when 'it' is 'accepted' that you own 'a flaw' can you heal it or disown it!?


# stubborn, acceptance, humility, on receiving, healing

Points to understood :

• Attitudes that are stumbling blocks in our clarity of thought!
• Why we see the way we see!
• Only when our 'junk' from 'mind' is cleared can we 'see' clearly.
• Till then we 'think' we understand / know but we don't.
• Biggest curse we carry by ourselves is when we 'think' we are right and are 'actually' wrong'
• If what we think is so right then why is there so much pain, disturbance and suffering.

Me, my guru – Karna receives what he gives!

Karna was surprised. He asked “And why is it so?”

“Because you’ve given various kinds of riches as charity in the World below (meaning on Earth). But you never gave food to anyone. So, you will not receive food. In the heaven, you receive 10 times of what you give on Earth. You can’t receive what you didn’t give!” the Angel said and left.

So you see you receive what you give in equal measure. That is the Law of Karma. You can’t redeem one act of yours with your desire as you please.

If you go on a pilgrimage, it heals a certain kind of karma. The purpose of going on a pilgrimage is to drop our ego and walk towards God or the Truth!

You can’t encash the punya of going on the pilgrimage or doing some sadhan with better relationship with your near and dear ones.

You are connecting the wrong dots here!

YOU ARE ASSUMING WRONG! The Law of the Universe doesn’t cater to your demands, assumptions and expectations. Our pain and suffering are the result of these wrong attitudes.

By doing good to others we are cleansing our souls and karma. It aids us in becoming pure. Being pure is the pre-requisite to Realize Self. That’s all!

Blessing that turned into curse – Me, My Guru

Blessing that turned into curse – Me, My Guru

Lord Vishnu took a form of a beautiful damsel called Mohini and met Bhasmasur as he was going through the forest towards his palace. He fell in love with her and sought her hand in marriage. She agreed on a condition that he matches his dance steps with hers. He agreed, amused. She started to dance and he followed suit. As he became engrossed in the dance along with Mohini, Mohini placed her hand on her head and Bhasmasura  his hand on his head too and lo! He immediately was on fire and turned to ash! So when a wrong doer seeks for a boon, it is granted but that very blessing is the curse that he deserves for his deeds and attitudes. ***

Lobhi ko lobh aur balwaan ko ahankaan use maartha hai.

Greedy meets his end/downfall because of his greed and a powerful person meets his death because of his arrogance.

Just because a person is bad, God doesn’t stop listening to his prayers. Everyone’s prayers are answered. If a wrong doer does penance or pooja (devotional ritual), then in exchange, he is blessed with his asking. But his “attitude” and “karma” catch up with him through that very blessing that he sought. How ironic is that! 

And people think they are smart enough to cheat XX and God! How pathetic and shallow is their vision of God and what arrogance to think that in exchange for their “little offerings” they not only seek opulence, but also think they can get away from their karma or destiny. Such naïve webs these fools weave! 


(*** Stories in Indian Mythology are just not woven to entertain. They are not works of fiction or some writers fanciful works! They are works that educate people on how to be and how not to be. They teach the consequences of our every act and attitude! They show with examples the cause and effect in our lives. They tell us how our choices make or break our fate.)

Points to ponder : 

Our attitudes reflect our 'karma' and destiny! And we carry our attitudes with us all the time........so wherever we go our network follows....

How justified is our blaming God/guru for our hardships?

Unless we own up our role in our fate, we can never walk the path to correct it even if an opportunity is served on plate! We end up saying "I am fine, it's just that I want XYZ wish to be fulfilled and so see no need for 'self healing'! " WOW!

# fate and destiny, on self healing, Indian Mythology, Mohini Basmasura, blessing that turns into curse, we get what we deserve even through what we desire, karma

On receiving Grace

 Contd....

On receiving Grace

Next, we need to change for better and right way of living.

Last and most important – forgive others before seeking forgiveness for self. If you ‘demand’ forgiveness from God/Universe/Guru through Reiki, be the first to forgive your perpetrators.

If you come up with reasons to call them names, to justify your feelings of wanting to hurt them or killing them, so does Universe/guru have reasons to send to you what you deserve. If you still hold grudge on others, how can you receive ‘grace’?

‘Grace’ is received ONLY by the simple and pure in heart. Leave behind your lust, demands, hatred and being adamant and demanding – and lo! Grace flows from heavens above drenching you with abundance beyond your wants and needs. It doesn’t descent as per your worthiness but as per ‘His Capacity’.

Now it is up to us to decide if we will use Reiki to get things as per worthiness.

‘OR’

Use it to heal ‘our wrong attitudes’ and make us eligible to receive ‘His Grace’!

Choice is yours to make!

Right to choose is yours!

May your mind guide you to your betterment!

May you have clarity to see through your mind’s wrong sense of logic and arguments!

May you choose for your own good!

PS : If you have any other post from this blog related to this topic, give the link to it for all to benefit.

Points to understand :

• It is very easy to talk about 'what God/grace/healing' is supposed to do.
• It is next to impossible to accept that the problem lies within.
• It is next to impossible to look within.
• It is unacceptable to go within, be honest about self and address it.
• Blessed are the few who see that and walk that path.
• However small their steps are, blessed are those few who are the 'lights' of this world and they are the torch bearers for all the future comers to come!

So, What is your miracle of the day?
