DAILY COLUMN ---------------------- At one time I was a co-dependent person. I needed other people to validate my existence, to make me feel worthy, to say nice things about me so I felt good about myself. But no matter how much praise, attention or reassurance I got, it was never enough. One day I realized the only person I can ever depend on to truly make me feel validated, worthy, and deserving, is me. - Sometimes I wonder, I have so many unending desires and Guruji you keep on fulfilling them. This makes me smile. How to get rid of hankering over desires Gurudev? I think If my desires are getting fulfilled, that is enough. I should now be busy in fulfilling the desires of others . Kabhi Aap Dusro Ke Liye Mang Kar Dekho, Kabhi Apne Liye Mangne Ki Zarurat Nahi Padegi..’ ‘Like the waves of the ocean keep coming one after the other. That is why I must keep my desires aside and do as per the Guru desires. ’ When you do this then the mind becomes hollow and empty and you start feeling a sense of lightness. Life then moves beyond joy and sorrow, and all craving and aversion automatically disappear. This is the only way to remove cravings and aversions. That is why it is said, ‘Na Guror Adhikam, Na Guror Adhikam, Na Guror Adhikam’ (There is nothing greater than Guru, there is nothing greater than Guru, there is nothing greater than Guru because Guru is the embodiment of all that is greatest.) So leave everything on the Guru, and surrender to the Guru. Fulfillment cannot be achieved through desires because if one desire is fulfilled another one comes, and if that is fulfilled another one comes. And then the mind keeps wandering between desires. Some desire or another will keep troubling your mind day and night. Do you know, if there is anything in this world that troubles you, the topmost on the list is your own mind! I am saying topmost because you do not see this. You feel that someone else is bothering you. You think your mother in law is troubling you, or your daughter-in-law is troubling you, or your wife or husband is troubling you. Keep all that as second on the list. It is your own mind which is troubling you; there is no other enemy out there. Once you realize this you will understand that it is not the other, all the botherations are of the mind. It is all in your hands, how you view things; what type of intention you put out there, that will come back to you. If you think that everyone is hurting me, then your own intentions will create similar situations again and again. The keys of our happiness does not lie in others hands Inside Us We May Have A WEAK Heart But Behind Us We Have VERY VERY STRONG GURUJI! JAI JAI GURUJI
