Some place..some days.. it will trigger a great time to cherish the memories forever...
One such moments knocked my door step on a sun decked sunday!
I will never say no to two people invite...One my spiritual guru who established ashrama in a large landscape near Hassan. Even a call from midnight, i will just get on to my bike and ready to go!
Similarly another great person is Sister Bhuvaneshwari, who not only managers Prajapita Brahmakumari's Eshwariya Vishwavidyalaya at R T Nagar. She has more more affections towards my family, any event, any program, any special moment she makes sure an invite drops in our whatsapp and a call..it never missed so far from the last six years....!
Her spiritual team set off to a farm house near yalahanka. It was one of the spiritual members who hops in toe the center all the time!
So second thought, me and my krishna set out to Yelahanka, by the time we were there, all ready a small exercise routine had started to keep pains away from the body. We both joined the session...
The real time of memories started after that... A ball game passing on the buck ... kept people rolling.. few shared their divine experience, few people enacted dance, dialogues, imitation to the perfection. It was a great moment of looking other people life in our eyes. Every experience is different, and every experience bound to become a teacher, guide to our life!
The team spilled few scenarios and wanted to test the member's responses in their spiritual journey!
Scenario 1
Centre teacher.. not saying om shanthi to you, when you go to the centre or not calling for seva ... maya enters with a turbulent intention.. dispute!
Printing press.. the editor busy in composing the news for the world.. His main attention is devoted towards composing, proofing and printing. Because the news paper had to reach out all the corners of the place the next day early morning...So tirelessly he will be on the job. Similarly the people who manager the center's had premium responsibility at the center not only taking care of routine things, but also a path to be laid everyday to the members who drops in for their spiritual journey.. so our job is to join hands with them and try to reduce the baggage of responsibility upto our capacity. Thats the best way than finding a stones in the curds.. that's what maya designated for!
Scenario 2
Winter day.. Murali class time.. it is cold.. Maya enters with a pot full of fire to keep the cold!
Yes, everyone wants a comfort zone from hot summer, sizzling rainy season and chilling winter.. but success never knocks the door of comfort zone... it always strikes in the challenging path.. The success just follows the disciplined approach... We are masters of our destiny.. once put a step forward.. no thinking back.. come whatever it may! That approach makes us better person!
Scenario 3
You are at home.. All are watching TV / Movie enjoying .. they are calling you to join them... maya supporting you with loads of tabs, and big screen .. dispute Maya...
Watching for entertainment do exists all the time.. no time limit or restrictions as such. But the knowledge which comes in to us ..and it soaks our awakening with a delightful light to lead us in the path of spirituality. The part of our time should be spent towards awakening.. that is possible when the distraction gives way to us! That is possible when we set our path with defining discipline in our approach!
Scenario 4
Mobile Maya.. Many classes/ Videos (gyan related) whole day if you use mobile it is first class purushaartha .. maya enters with a bunch of pen drives, CD's, you tube links... dispute!
There are many places..where just dig few feet you will get water...our world is also like that.. with technology in our finger tips.. any information will be available in no time...but gyan videos, links all are good .. but when there is no personal touch in the transfer of knowledge which happens when we visit center and listen to the spiritual journey! Hence the tangent devices are good.. but intangible source of information which we receive from the teachers always stands the best!
Scenario 5
Seva Ka Maya .. Donated a big amount but their name not reflected nor called on to the stage.. Maya enters...
A recognition surely ignites the passion for doing more...but see the clouds brings rain, the sunlight blooms the flowers.. the fragrance spreads...it never craves for publicity. People do have passion to join the hands at any time...and shy away from the media glare. .. like that, people do get carried away with felicitation... but people are walking in to the centers are above those recognition, awards and media glare. They are contended with the service and that's the only thing they follow!
Scenario 6
Amruthvela .. You are trying to get up to remember baba.. you said good morning to baba then maya enters.. dispute with Maya...
The wall clock with a alaarm.. it sets off .. it wont see whether it is day time night time not a disturbing zone...and all.. its primary responsibility is to help the awakening of the soul. Like wise, when we decide to kick start of our day with a yoga, meditation..just like alarm get on to the job...forgettig the comfort zone!
Scenario 7
You followed Shrimath entire life, did so much sewa. now one serious health issue.. you are taking medicines.. Maya enters...
The wall clock it keeps ticking in its life time..but never complaints.. ha cell gets discharged ..and it requires a replacement.. change it...and it keeps ticking again... there is no connection between its tick tick and its helping us to know our time...like wise.. we did seva in our life time when we are strong enough to serve.. and soul gets charged up all the time..when the body gets weak for many reasons due to age and other ailments.. just like how we change the cell or battery..take the good care of your self via medicines doctor advise, tonics, treatments..thats it..no glorifying our deeds and expecting the gratitude.. it is like SUN saying am giving heat and light...please pay my bill!!!
Scenario 8
You are invited by friend/relatives .. many dishes at lunch/dinner.. one side Baba's shrimath, and another side Lokik people forcing you to eat... Maya enters.. Dispute
When the journey is set to Mumbai..and in a railway or bus station... we will look only towards train or bus which takes us to our destination.. come whatever when our destination is Mumbai... will never tempted to look at other source which takes us to the opposite direction of our destination. Similarly when our path if shrimath...just follow the same irrespective of offering.. The love, affection, gratitude are all invaluable...so our principles..The disciplined principles are the ones which help us in becoming strong individuals to serve!
*******
The lessons learnt in these kind exercises com game helps us to remember the mantra for life...reading 100 books, watching many clips...listening to many pravachan's and be part of these kind of sessions.. just brushes our rough parts in the soul to make us more polished and shiny in this world!
Am grateful to Sister Bhuvaneshwari and her enlightening team for providing an opportunity to spend a quality time!
