Grief

Hi Folks -!

How are you and how's Life?!

FastBilla wants more names of interesting books!

Gladly!

Interests, however, vary, so browse before you buy!

'Old Path White Clouds' is a master-piece and everyone will like it!


Right now, I'm reading 'When Jesus lived in India' by Alan Jacobs.

It is fascinating, to say the least.

There is a story behind this too, and let me tell it to you.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend mentioned on fb that she was going to Israel and I told her to pray for peace on my behalf too.

One day, I plan to go there, but until then, would she pray for me?

She said yes, of course, and that was that.

Or so I thought.

Last week,a lady came for a Past Life Regression session and after going through 4-5 past lives, having got her answers, I took her to the cave to meet her spiritual master.

It had been a white-haired, unknown old man in earlier sessions.

This time, she started to, and kept grinning when I asked her if the master had appeared.

'YESSSSSSSSSSSSS !' She said, happily.

'It's Jesus'!

He was gentle and smiling and radiant in a nice way, not blinding, you know what I mean?

He gave her clear guidance, blessed her and she was very, very happy.

Once her queries were done, I asked if he would bless me too.
After all, I have loved him from my childhood.

She said 'Of course he does! He's smiling at you and blessing you.'

I asked if the work I was doing was right,if I was doing okay?

And she said he says, 'you are doing fine, its good work'.

He was happy and smiling and blessed us both again!

I was on top of the world!

It was Good Friday - which we realised later.

A few days later, I was looking for books on Kundalini, the 7 Chakras etc when I came across this book 'When Jesus lived in India'.

I bought it, of course, and it is simply fascinating!
It is based on research and this isn't the first which says he was in India.

The Bibiliography at the end itself lists over 30 others!

There are Buddhist scriptures and mention in Hindu Purana and some other revered books about his visit and stay here.

Read it with an open mind, not with a view to put down anyone.

You will realise again what a wonderful giant of a spiritual being he was in flesh - and is now, in spirit!

I will give you names of some more books next time.


Right now, let me share something striking from this book.

It is about grief.

From the second chapter - The Aquarian Gospel: Jesus in India and Tibet, page 50.

He says,

'Tears cannot conquer grief. There is no power in grief to mend a broken heart.

The plane of grief is idleness (emphasis mine); the busy soul can never grieve; it has no time for grief.

When grief comes trooping through the heart, just loose yourself by plunging deeply into the ministry of love, and grief vanishes.

Let the past go with the past.'


Is it not true?!

When tragedy strikes us, we immideately lose our strength, both physically and emotionally.

Grieving grows into an art.

We find many ways to express it, not realising that we keep the fire stoked with every expression.

We lose interest in work, in daily chores, the routine life - we sit here and loll there and maybe drink or smoke or pick old quarrels or repeat the same stuff to ourselves or others.

After a long time, when we are bored of the boredom, we limp back to work, to a brave, teary smile, to taking charge of our own lives and responsibilities again, as if its a big burden and a favour we are doing others!

Harsh words?

Just check - this amy not be true of all,but of quite a few.

Why do we need 4 and 7 days of state and national mourning?

How many times do we remember that person or his good deeds or try to follow them?

Grief belongs to the body, not the spirit.

By clinging to it, we weaken our spirit.

What do you think?

How should one react to painful situations?

Understand that everything is impermanent, what has been born, has to die and it is not a matter of grief.

Examine yourself, your own reactions to various situations of grief and dissect yourself dispassionately.

Are you lazy?

A 'poor-me'energy - stealer?

Ignorant of the laws of the universe?

You - all of us, are human beings with minds and thoughts and a goal which may seem hazy at times, but the quest will be there.

It is time to give importance to the health and strength of our mind and thoughts and ensure they are strong and supportive of our goal.

Meditate!

And enjoy life!

Its beautiful!
