When the Purpose clashes

Hi Folks!

How's life been with you?

I came back from a month's Vipassana much, much wiser!

I shall write more on it in another post.

Let's see the comment first, and then let me share 2 fantastic sessions 2 people had some time ago.

The question is, 'How do you even know when the energy is being stolen or the other way round?'

If you feel yourself drained in someone's presence or even when thinking about them, dread meeting/spending time with someone, feel habitually irritable doing routine chores which should not be the case, you may be losing energy.

You can not be 100% sure until you find out specifically, but you can take precaution by meditating every day and topping up your own levels, letting go of anger or -ve feelings and doing Ho'oponopono.

Similarly, check if being overly inquisitive, bossy, overbearing, aloof, poor - me, talkative etc.

Are any or many of these traits a part of your own personality?

If yes, you steal from others.

Meditate regularly, and you will discover new, strong facets of yourself that you were not aware of.

We are usually a bit hesitant to go in and change ourselves.
Do it, the results will always be better than that horrible hair-cut you once ended up with!

Now for the 2 sessions connected to life's purpose and what does one do if they clash or become redundant?!

We chalk out a detailed plan of our life based on what we want to learn and more importantly, the wherewithal we have.

It's both a choice and agreement with the other people involved.

Nothing is by chance.

An old lady came to find out why her daughter-in-law hated her in spite of her loving her like a daughter.
She had gone through some honest introspection but could not locate where she was going wrong.
Her son too seemed to take very vicious and opposite viewpoint to whatever she did or felt and she was at her wit's end on both counts.

She went to a past life more than a thousand years ago, when there was a young man, 18-19 years old, completely devoted to Shiva.He had no other thought and did not even notice the pretty girl from the same village who loved him.

One day, he left for the mountains to meditate and came back after many many years as a great Yogi.
He stayed in the temple where he taught and healed and the whole village and the surrounding ones treated him with respect and affection.

The girl had been married by then, but she hated him with her whole being for having repulsed her love.

He was not aware, before or after, but her thoughts were focused on ''One day, you will love me and I will show you'.

The man who she married in that life knew of her love and was jealous, though he did not show it.

That Yogi was this old lady, the girl was her dil now, and her husband of past was also her husband now, and also the old lady's son!

During resolution, the Sadhu requested forgiveness for having inadvertently hurt the girl's feelings but she was adamant in holding on to her hatred.

The Spiritual Master tried to explain the consequences of holding on to such harsh feelings, but she said she did not care.

Her husband, the old lady's son, wanted to support his wife and appease his own jealousy at the same time.

At this point, the old lady decided to just love her dil more, now that she knew the reason.

I next took her to a past life with her son and she went to one when, again, she was his mother.

She had married her husband in spite of great opposition from her wealthy family members who were convinced he was a vagabond.
Soon enough, in spite of her devotion, he left her for other women.

She could not cope with it and became extremely bitter. In her anger against him and the poverty she had to face, she neglected to mentally support her 12 year old son who was also hurting.

He grew up lonely, angry and almost friendless.

The only male friend he spoke to was a young man who understood his anger but also played with his emotions by teasing him and hurting him.

That's her dil in this life!

The son did not marry in that life. He studied, worked hard and built a big house for his mother.
Though there wasn't much of a communication between them, he took care of her.

She realised her mistake and tried to make up by loving him in later years, but it was too late.

Though the son wanted her to live in comfort, she went back to her hut to die.

The old lady understood all these facets which had created this big mess in her current life.

In the cave, when she requested forgiveness from her son, he did so reluctantly.
He would take care of her in this life, but there would be no love or support.

Now for her BIG lesson after seeing the second past life.

She came to the conclusion that it was her immense love for her dil which was actually turning into petrol in the dil's fire of revenge.

Just like her own Purpose of Life had been to return the girl's love and heal her hurt, the girl's purpose was to throw the love back and hurt her.

That the young man was on a spiritual path or had no idea about her love cut no ice with her.

It was the ego which had been insulted and there would be no excuse.

Having asked her son's forgiveness again, the old lady cut her cords from both of them and wished them good luck.

She felt at peace and is pursuing her own path of spirituality.

This was the first time I saw how the purpose of life can become detrimental to our growth if we fail to take off the blinkers of convenience and poor-me energy stealing, in this case.

Along with Karma, this lady used her Free Will to ensure her own peace of mind and growth.


The second case is still in progress and truly complicated!

A lovely young girl came to find out if she would be able to marry the boy she loved.
They came from different religions.

When he'd mentioned wanting to marry her, the boy's father had had a heart attack and the mother had threatened to consume poison.

The path of true love!

She went into a past life when she was the only darling child, a daughter of her parents.

She had fallen deeply in love with a 'young man of loose character' but was convinced that he was the only one for her and that her love would change him.

She had eloped with him.He'd pretended to mend his ways for a while, but had gone back to his womanizing.

She was only 17 then, and unable to take the hurt, had hung herself from the ceiling.

Seeing their dear daughter hanging, dying so young over 'that useless fellow', both the parents blamed themselves and swore they would 'never let this happen again'.

And they aren't!

They are his parents in this life and will fight this marriage tooth and nail!

It was difficult for this girl to digest this and one can't blame her!

One way out is for the boy to see that past life in a session, in the Master's presence,ask those parents 's forgiveness and convince them that he would truly love her and take care of her in this lifetime.

But of course, he does not believe in this mumbo-jumbo!

That's life!

As we have chalked it!

And really, when it does not turn out the way we want, who do we blame?!

Have a great fortnight and mull over your life!

Enjoy the drama!

You have created it!
