Guruji said yesterday in satsang "You either believe in personality or Karma!"
When you see personality : You think this person is hopeless. That person is very nice! Why do person is behave like this! Why she is do dumb! He said that to me she did this to me etc! At this level our mind is stuck and there is misery!
When you see its all my karma: My experiences are defined by my own karma and has nothing to do with any personality or people. Noone else exists! If my karma is good even the worst person will behave good with me. If my karma is bad best person will also create problem. Then personalities disappear! And mind is elevated and free!
One Consiousness/Brahman/God/Guru: The brahman is all powerful. It can eliminate any kind of karma. At this level Its all his play... a beautiful, interesting play (Lila) !
A cute incident happened with me yesterday as I go to dining hall in ashram to take "Kheer" (A tasty indian sweet dish) There was a small cute chaos around the kheer counter because of unmanaged crowd. The guy who was serving was happily, skillfully serving to all. One lady was holding a tray with many empty glasses that she wanted to fill with kheer. As empty glasses was far away for me I took one from her plate assuming she will take one from the other side as it very close to her! But she got very furious with my action! She started yelling. (Truly seva/help can be done only when one is content! She was in lack consciousness about a small thing like glasses how could she have shared it with me! Compassion happened to me for her. But I was happy that she was in ashram and will grow eventually) I smiled to her, put the empty glass back on her tray and said "Relax.. take 2 from my side from the bunch of empty glasses beside you" This made her even more furious :-P she said "Guruji is giving me and not you!" I just looked at her with so much love and said "and you think I am not part of him?" I don't know if it clicked to her but she didn't not get furious after this!
As I was coming back with kheer to the sitting area I thought "Good... one karma over for me!" (faith on karma) and then thought passed if its your (Guru/Nature/Brahman) wish.. why not! I mean it was a good play with good masala :D
2nd thing that I realised is though it was my karma that I had to experience this, but how to respond to it is my freewill! How much to learn and be grateful about it is my freewill! Gurudev says "Behind every event there is knowlege" I was very grateful that I could respond so well in the situation! I was never so sorted! Credit clearly goes to meditation. Truly how we respond in the play called life depends on how much peaceful and stable we are from within and to achieve that meditation is the way!
Love,
Neha
