I Laugh And Laugh And Laugh!

Dearest Srama,

You brought a big smile and deep gratitude in me. Needless to say that you and the Universe have a special bond. I m glad that I am not mad to look for signs when I am in turmoil. After reading the Illusions ,recommended by you, I see lots and lots of feathers and each time when I see them it makes me happy. Fortune cookies?? I need to go and find a Chinese restaurant and get a cookie soon as I can. Thank you for bringing us joy through your writing and I am sure this week will go fantastically!

Love
vani

 

Dear Sabitha,

More often than not, I experienced similar feeling. In those days, I ended up waiting for the day to be over to see the bright side of the life. I just sing the bhajans or read something very elevating in such circumstances. Those actions help me surrender quietly.

Here is what I wrote for the kids in the moral education class to teach the values of Peace & Discipline when they meditate:

“You are sitting quietly in a garden that is full of flowers with different colors. They are blossoming in the rays of sunlight that comes down to earth. The trees and plants are shaking gently as though they were appreciating the rain they have experienced a few minutes back, welcoming the wind that is blowing towards them and enjoying the rays of the sun. The flowers of today are opening up as though they are smiling after seeing the colors of the rainbows up in the sky. The flowers of yesterday are facing down as though they have been humbled by the opportunity given to them to Blossom and the flowers of tomorrow are keeping their pedals closed as though they are worshiping God for their opportunity. The grass on the ground is sacrificing itself to the hunger of the animals which are walking all over it. The whole atmosphere is serene and you are wondering how every living being are appreciating each other and live in peace with reality. You are thinking that peace is not obtained by your free will but by humbly surrendering to the Will of God and accepting the reality.”

I am a big believer that every experience we encounter are messages for us customized exclusively for us from the nature. One can call it coincidence or will of the Lord but even noticing and recognizing such message is a gift by itself.

What God meant to say to the men is "When men are cornered by wives with no excuses to give (i.e. when men think they are in the corner of the world), they learn the important lesson of how to surrender. If men are disciplined, wives calm down and achieve peace. Therefore, the disciplining wife becomes disciplined."
