Apology.........

[Guest guest]

Dear Neelamji,

In the word-battle that ensued a day earlier between us, I meant†MATERIAL†by the word ‘physical†when I said want is physical…for don ‘we say... .’The physical worldâ€, when we mean to say “the material worldâ€â€¦I chose the WRONG word in the heat of the moment.. & I surely burnt my fingers; for everybody out there definitely must have got the wrong message… I HAVE LEARNT MY LESSON……. [i realized when you shout to the world that all you want is Everything, You suddenly want Nothing!!].I cannot do anything now except to shoulder responsibility for the BLUNDER of choosing the wrong word so very rashly………I am sorry if I hurt you or Bhaskarji or anybody else out there

In the midst of the stream of the heavy topics of astrology, social and political issues being discussed in this forum, I would like to post a simple story on the matter of choices if the moderator doesn’t mind…..

Once there was a man who asked God for a Flower …… & a Butterfly…….

But, instead God gave him Cactus…………..

& a Caterpillar……………………………....

The man was sad; he didn’t understand why his request was mistaken.

Then he thought: O, well! God has too many people to care for…….

& decided NOT to question.

After sometime the man went to check up on his request that he had left forgotten….

To his surprise, from the thorny and ugly cactus a beautiful flower had grown.

And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most beautiful butterfly.

GOD always does things right!

HIS way is ALWAYS the best way, even if to us it seems all wrong.

If you asked God for one thing and received another, TRUST.

You can be sure that HE will always give you what you need, at the appropriate time.

What you want …….

is not always what you need!

God never fails to grant our petitions. So keep on going for HIM without doubting or murmuring.

TODAY’S THORN……..IS TOMORROW’S FLOWER!

GOD GIVES THE VERY BEST TO THOSE WHO LEAVE THE CHOICES UPTO HIM!

Dear Kiran,I do not understand what made you think that we had a verbal battle or something of the sort, or that someone would be hurt. You are participating in a meaningful learning-sharing (I wouldn’t call it teaching) experience within the group, which we appreciate.

We are on our individual journeys, at our own individual levels, physically, mentally and spiritually and we speak and understand from those levels. For most of us eating is a need, but to someone who has been able to harness the cosmic energy, there is no such need. For us breathing is a need to remain alive, but the Yogis may live for hundred years without breathing? What then is the need? All of us will define NEEDS and WANTS in our own ways. Similarly, I do not see much difference between physical and material, but you may?

Have you seen how fantastic a kaleidoscope is! We all are like that. If you deep-dive into the hyperbolic geometry of life, and see its myriad reflections in the chamber of your heart, which you might’ve loaded with little stones, pebbles, beads, collected from many shores over many lives. You’ll understand what I mean. And if you make those collectibles float, you are even more amazed!

Strangely, it is a function of the relationships among the collectibles rather than their individual properties, and the range of infinitely possible transformations is determined by the construction of the kaleidoscope, its inner law which governs its operation.... but the most important factor is LIGHT!

To be a little more explicit, what we see and make of any situation depends on the chamber of the kaleidoscope (heart), its little fillings (learnings and memories) and the LIGHT (conciousness)Let me assure you once again, that you are well understood. All the best for your wonderful journey.

RegardsNeelam
