The Love Story

Most people read this setence, "Don't judge a book from it's cover". And hardly one to follow. When we get attracted with look and cover without looking at inside, we mostly get trapped. And, finally that creates suffering.

We cannot do love, but being loving is the only key to share love. Till someone is having hate or dislike for anything or anyone, the flower doesn't blossom.

There was a teacher named Anjali in a primary school. She was a class 5 teacher, she had a habit that she always used to say "I love you all" as soon as she came to the class.

.
But she knew she wasn't telling the truth.
She didn't love all the kids in the class the same.
There was a kid in class who didn't even like a torn eye. His name was Raju. Raju Mally comes to school in crushed situation. Her hair would have been damaged, shoes tied off, mail marks on shirt collar. Even during his studies, he had attention elsewhere.
.
When Madam scolded, he would have looked at her shocked, but from her empty eyes he could have seen clearly. That Raju is mentally missing despite being physically present in class i.e. (present body offsetmide). Slowly slowly madam started hating Raju. As soon as he entered the class, Raju Madam started to be criticized. All evil examples are done in the name of Raju. The kids laughed at him. And madam would have satisfied by insulting her.
Raju never responded to anything though.
.
Madam feels like a lifeless stone with no soul inside. In response to every scolding, satire and punishment he would just look at them with empty eyes with his emotions and bow his head. Madam had a serious hate for this now.
.
The first semester ended and the stage of making the progress report came, so madam wrote all these bad things in Raju's progress report. Progress report used to go to the head master before showing to parents. She called madam when she saw Raju's progress report. "Madam Pragati Report should also write something about Raju's progress. Raju's father will be totally disappointed with what you have written. "Madam said ""I apologize, but Raju is a very rude and useless child."" I don't think I can write anything about her progress. "Madam spoke in a disgusting tone and got up from there, today the school is closed.
.
The next day the head master made a thought and he put Raju's progress report on the Madam's desk in the hands of the peon. When madam entered the class the next day, the report was seen. When I looked back, I came to know that this is Raju's report. "Madam thought that Raju must have blossomed the same flower in the previous classes too. "They thought and opened the Class 3 report. Reading the comments in the report had no limit to his surprise when he noticed that the report was full of compliments. "I have never seen an intelligent child like Raju. """Very sensitive child and is very attached to his friends and teacher."" " " "
.
This was written
Raju got first place in last semester also. "Madame opened the Class 4 report in uncertain situation. "Raju took tremendous impact of his mother's disease. . Losing her attention from studies. """Raju's mother suffers last stage cancer. . He has no other caretaker at home. What has a profound impact on his studies.
.
It was written "
The lower head master wrote that Raju's mother has died and with that the brightness and brightness of Raju's life. . He has to be saved... Before it's too late. "Reading this, a terrible burden overcame the madam's mind. With trembling hands they stopped the progress report. Tears started falling from Madam's eyes one after another. Madam wiped her tears with Sari
The next day when madam entered the class she repeated her traditional phrase "I love you all" according to her habit.
.
But she knew she was still lying today. Because the love she felt in her heart today for a tangled haired kid Raju sitting in this class.. He sat in the classroom and was more than any child.
During studies, he asked a question on Raju as a daily routine and as usual, Raju bowed his head. For some time, when no scolding from the madam and laughter from her classmates did not hear her ears, she raised her head and looked at the madam in surprise. Unexpected there was no force on her forehead today, she was smiling. He called Raju to him and asked him to repeat the answer to the question. Raju finally spoke after three four times request. As soon as she answered this, Madam not only applauded herself but also made all the children clapped..
.
Then it became a routine. Madam would tell the answer of every question herself and then would have appreciated it a lot. Each good example was given because of Raju. Gradually old Raju came out after tearing the grave of silence. Now madam does not need to answer with question. He impresses everyone by giving error answers daily and surprises everyone by asking new questions.
.
His hair would have improved somewhat now, clothes would have been cleaner that he probably started washing himself. The year ended in a glimpse and Raju got second place and passed 5th class means he was ready for admission in second place in school.
.
All the children at the farewell ceremony of class 5 brought beautiful gifts for madam and stacked on madam's table. These beautifully packaged gifts also included a badly packaged gift in an old newspaper. The kids were laughing at him. It didn't take long to know that Raju had brought this gift. Madam took out Raju's gift by hiding from this small mountain of gift. Opened it inside was a half used glass of a women's perfume and a large hard bracelet with most of the pearls shed. Miss quietly sprinkled this perfume on herself and wore a bracelet in her hand. Children were all surprised to see this scene. Raju himself too. Finally Raju could not stay away and came to Miss and stood up. .
.
After some time she stuck and said to madam "Today you smell like my mother. "Madam's eyes were filled with tears after hearing this and Madam hugged Raju by her neck
Raju was going to go to another school now
Raju had taken admission in school in second place
Time is starting to pass.
Day week,
Where does it take time to change week month and month to year?
But at the end of every year, Madam would have received a letter regularly from Raju which would have written that "this year met many new teachers." But there was no madam like you. "
.
Again Raju's studies ended and the series of letters ended. Many years ahead and madam retired.
One day I found Raju's letter in my mail at Madam's house which said:
“I have my wedding at the end of this month and I can’t imagine marriage without you. One more thing .. I have met a lot of people in my life.. There is no one like you......... Your doctor Raju
.
Along with the letter, the ticket of the plane was also present in the envelope.
Madam could never stop herself. She took permission from her husband and left for Raju's city. It was a bit late when she reached the wedding place on the wedding day.
.
They thought the ceremony was over.. But there was no limit to their surprise seeing that the city's big doctors, businessmen and even the Panditji who got married there were tired. Who is yet to come... But Raju stumbled towards the gate instead of the wedding pavilion in the function was waiting for him to arrive. Then everyone noticed that as soon as an old woman entered the gate, Raju turned towards her and grabbed the hand in which she was wearing a bracelet and took her straight to the stage.
.
Raju held the mic in his hand and said something like this "Friends, you all used to ask me about my mother and I promised you that I will meet you all soon ........
Look closely this is my lovely mother the best in the world this is my mother -
.
!! Dear friends.... Don't think of this beautiful story just because of teacher and student relationship. Look around you, many flowers like Raju are withering to whom your little attention, love and affection can give new life;!!!!

Meditation

Sitting in meditation position, is just to understand, that nothing will happen by sitting at one place physically for long time.


After sharing this thought, lot people agree, by just sitting at a place cannot do anything. But missing the word "physically". While sitting in temple we are running through whole market, office, home, friends..... That's why sitting at one place is not helping us. 

"But sitting at a place is the beginning of journey."

Let us try to understand other way, by going to the primary school one cannot be certified as an engineer or a doctor. Also all students going to the school are not getting the same. There, our teachers and parents teach us to focus on study to do better. The students, focus more on one subject they got good marks in it. But meditation and focus are two different things. Focusing on  one thing we can be master in it, but by understanding oneness of everything is meditation.

The student going to primary, learn 'A' stands for 'Apple', that is just symbolic.  Over the life person doesn't read like that 'A' for 'Apple'.  The adult person now recognize 'A'  and it is not only apple. But if we explain 'A' for 'Apple',  'A' for 'Aeroplane', 'A' for 'Awkward'..... that will be difficult for the child in primary. 

Same way sitting at a place is like 'A' for 'Apple' who is going to start the journey. Once person will pass through he will understand 'A' is not only 'Apple'. 

Now what is 'A' in the journey of meditation?

One has to explore by self, but just trying to share the blueprint. When we start sitting, our mind will start playing with us. It will show us there is lot of work pending, cannot sit like this for long time. But just try to recall, while we are doing our work, the same mind tell us "you did a lot,  you need a break". Is there a day in life when we didn't do anything? Is there a day in life when we have completed everything and nothing remaing to do? As we finish one, next is in queue, always. 

Even if we don't listen to mind and continue sitting, mind will play other tricks. That is also the experience of everyone. We get itching all of sudden on different parts of our body. That insist us to move the body. Though, if we sit wihout movement and focus on the area with pain it stop paining and start at some other place. By practicing to sit at a place without movement, one has to understand the impermanent nature of the things. This is 'A' for 'Apple'. Once the person understand everything is impermanent, primary education is done. 

Now one has to apply in life. Just remember the huge problem of the life, that moment we scattered, collapsed and felt that is the end. Remember the happiest moment of the life, we waited for long time, that passed too.  Here we have to understand the impermanent nature of everything.

After education, some 'A'  could be 'Astronaut', some 'A' could be 'Accountant'...... Presentaions may differ but 'A' will remain 'A'. That's why we can see Krishna is dancing, Buddhas are sharing in different way, Kabir is singing, Meera is praying. Just because here person cannot say what happen.

Remember this is just an information for readers, and information is not an experience. Remember this is just beginners information too, the ocean is too deep inside.

Nirvana....

Nirvana is state of mind.

The moment passed without complains or regressions, in that moment person taste the Niravana. Everyone taste this, there is no copy right of anyone special. 

The problem is the more we grow we keep filling ourself with greed, regressions and complains. Being a child there is no complains, that's why the growth of mind and body is on peak. Sometime we see child complain but in real it is not creating mental block for them, they forget and move ahead. That is also learned from parents, family and society. Over the time complains become nature, it will be constant complaining nature. That seems to natural, no one can identify.

- It's too cold this year.

- It's too hot this year.

- It's raining a lot this year or this year rain is not good.

- Blue looks good, but it should be little dark blue.

- Pink is good, but it should little light pink.

- He looks good but doesn't have clothing sense.

These are just few example on figer tips. We could not accept the things as it is. Even in our likes we keep finding dislikes.

This sudo nature of complain makes our life painful. Childhood is passed to grow adult. Adults are claiming the childhood days were beautiful.

Though there are some moments we forget the things and touch the apex of Niravana, the peace, the joy. But we never tasted and no one teach us what it is so we miss that.

Like we are travelling, if someone not inform us your destination arrived, we could miss it. Like from childhood we are taught, how money can help us to buy the things, so we keep collecting money.

Sameway, if someone can teach us about these moments, we can start collecting them too. 

Come out of anykind of complains. Remove all questions from life with 'Why'. Just accept as it is. If someone is doing corruption, if someone is not good. Just let them be as they are, they are accepted by the almight, who we are to be the judge for them.

Sameway, come out of all regressions. Things are happening here. We cannot do anything. If something happen good just accept that happen, show grattitude to the nature for it's beauty. If something happen which we feel bad, show grattitude to the mature for it's beauty.

Like we are going to office, car fail to start and we couldn't reach to office. We feel bad, but what if office building collapse that day? This second event is very near to first event so we will feel good. But sometime second event is far in future which we cannot connect and we keep complaining.

Ages ago when science was not developed, Pregnancy was the mystery. After male female mating, that took 6 months for baby bump. No one could imagine how that happened. 

So, just let the things happen. No need to change anything. Not even self, by following someone. Just accept the self and others too. Everything is natural. Just understand the oneness of the cosmos.

Keep collecting the Nirvana moments like money and be rich. There could be multiple ways ahead, but first start with this small change and doors will be opened automatically.

Learn to live....

Society says, learn to live social life.

Sadguru says, learn to live alone.

Both are equally right. Though hard to find joyous human beings with Sadguru or with Society.

Because, when they say - learn to live. It is like saying the fish - learn to swim.

In deep missing the essence of life.  Either living alone or living in society, life is always there. 

Each individual is not different, just to call them easily we name or label but in root everything is life. According to science definition, all breathing things are living rest is dead. But all living things made out of non living or dead. 

So, in root everything is life here. We can not choose one and drop one. The whole cosmos is one ,  right understanding is to learn that oneness. Without understanding of oneness either living as social animal or as Sanyasi , it will be always away from life.

The fish has to come out of small ponds of caste, creeds, colours, nations…… to the infinite ocean of universe.

Still I feel I cannot narrate or explain what I mean to share. 

Feelings can be tried to share in words but words doesn’t have any feeling.
