Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Om Guruvey Namah My Guruji used to say this in another words. He told that if we are on Saadhnaa path, we attract people who help us in that path/upliftment of our sould and detract people who pull us down. If we can do it intentionally, that will be the most suitable thing. But if we are ignorant about this aspect or can not do so for some other reasons, then the grant system of the universe takes over to does this for us. But in the later case, it may hurt our sentiments, or cause loss of money. Even this can result in death of the people who are around us. So it is better to observe people around us and get closer to those who help us rise spiritually and get rid of those who hinder our path.

Friends and relatives started fighting with me for no reasons... and some new people started coming into my life In the beginning, i was shocked and tried to work out things with gone friends... but one day I realised the game of Nature, how she was taking away those who were hurdle in my sadhna, due to their high negativity... were removed And a new class of friends, who were more into meditation started coming into my circle...without any apparent reason love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 True Babaji & Pradeepji. Also, Mother Nature quickly brings people who we owe a debt, & forcefully collects our debt to repay them. This usually leads to hard feelings, anger, frustration, but Ma is just doing her job. How can u get Moksha if you owe debts to lower souls? In my case, old friends, people I had never known in my life, suddenly came in, stole my money, & left as suddenly as they had arrived. At that time I was angry, but now I realise if I hadnt paid that debt, I would have had to pay back in other ways- like helping them in an occult or spiritual manner. Nature didnt want those unworthy people being helped in a spirital manner. If one was aware, one could do this willingly, & by design. But since we arent aware, Mother Nature does it, often leaving us confused. But over time, the reason for Ma's interference becomes clear.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Om Guruvay Namah And I have noticed one more thing. Mother nature gives us resources also to repay our debts. Sometimes, suddenly we get money from somewhere or from some quarters which we even could not thought of and we get surprised. But at that time, we forget to repay our debts and use this money to fulfil our such desires which otherwise we could not fulfil. This creats bad effects. So we should remember that this sudden money should be used very thoughtfully. The same is true for other resources.
