[www.keralites.net] Believe the Master!

 

Believe the Master!

Think a little: when you are unhappy, you hold the other responsible for your sufferings. you curse the divine order responsible. 

 When the husband is unhappy he blames his wife, when the wife is unhappy she lays the blame on her husband. The father holds the son responsible, the son rebukes the father. You do not settle for less.

It is most ironic that when you are in trouble you blame another, but when you are happy you take the credit entirely for yourself. What logic is this? – happiness is on your own account, but your unhappiness you put on another's account! 

This is why you can neither overcome your sufferings nor unravel the secret of happiness, because you are wrong on both counts: neither is the other responsible for your sufferings nor are you responsible for your happiness. 

God alone is responsible for both. And if joy and sorrow come to you consider both are same, why make a difference between the two?

 There was a  king. He was very fond of a particular slave, and the slave worshipped his master. One day as they were going through a forest the king saw new type of fruit hanging from a tree. The king picked it and as was his habit, he gave some of it to the slave. When the slave tasted it he said, "Master, give me a little more." The slave asked for more and more till there was hardly any left for the king. Yet he kept insisting and even tried to snatch what remained from the king's hands. 

The king quickly put the remaining bit in his mouth but spat it out immediately. "Have you gone mad?" he shouted at the slave. "This fruit is poisonous and you stand there smiling at me!  Why didn't you tell me?"


The slave fell at his master's feet as he said, "The hands that gave me the sweetest of fruits – should I complain against those hands if they gave me but one bitter fruit?" Notice that he ignored the fruits, but only took account of the hands.

you should think in this way. You only know suffering as suffering because you do not see His hand behind it. The day you realize that both joy and sorrow are given by Him, they lose their impact.  Then happiness will no longer raise you up nor sorrow produce pain. 

 When joy and sorrow become equal to you, bliss appears to take their place. When the duality of joy and sorrow ceases, the indivisible descends and you are filled with bliss!

Do not hold anyone around you to blame – neither husband nor wife, neither son nor daughter, neither friend nor foe. Let God be the owner of all responsibility. When joy comes or success, don't fill your ego. He is master of all success, the owner of any rewards, of all sweet fruits! 

If you leave everything to Him, joy and sorrow disappear and only bliss will remain.
