Charity from an Empty Bowl...

-
A Charity cannot happen from an Empty Bowl.....
But All My Charities have happened from My Empty Bowl...
My Empty Bowl becomes full when I need it or any one Needs It !!!!

How does it feel ???
If You have to ask for a Meal to be Alive.......
If You have to ask for a Roof to Spend the Night ......
But When Life throws you to this Situation.... You Will have to ask .... 
The Times of Life can change ...  And any one of us can be in the situation....

I woke up to a message from a not so familiar person who is not in my friend list...
Requesting for assistance.... 
He Messaged all the ones he knows... No one replied yet... 
While replying something in me said that I Know Him...  Mine was the first reply he got...

After few days of missed schedules decided to Speak to Him Today ... 
He shared his story ...
"I am Looking For a Roof To Live... Parents are no more... For many reasons family has abandoned Me...
Now Surviving eating one free Meal a Day ... Living in the Temple with hundreds of Homeless People ... In this Pandemic Time feared of getting effected.. With the hope of getting a safe roof as a last resort reaching out to you ..."

Thoughts after Thoughts rushed in to my Head...

First thought ...
How irresponsible ??? But also felt Sympathy in the Corner of the Heart ....
Next Thought... Is he Cheating Me ?? Don't Know !!! 
Next Thought... Oh Boy ... Who have you asked ??? 
There are many who could have comfortably done it for You ....
Next Thought... But I Should help..

He was still Sharing and answering my Questions:
He: Guruji said... Stay here in the Ashram.. 
Me: Oh Man.. After that Why did You Leave ???
He: That time I did not know what to do and was confused with many things  ...
Me: Before Leaving Did you Inform Guruji ??
He: I felt not to hurt HIM so i just said i have some personal work and left .....

Next Thought... Non Obedient ... Immature... 
Again Same Thought... I Should help...
Asking him how much he needs to restart his Life.. I hung up ...

Looked at my bank account ... There is little more money than what is required for him ...
My Empty Bowl is always Full when I need it or any one Needs It...

Suddenly a Doubt  ... 
What if one day My Bowl does not fill ???
If not for others but atleast for Me....

What if I had to ask some one for some Food ???
What if I had to ask some one for a Shelter ???
What if I had to ask some one for some Medical Assistance ???
I am getting Old ....

But My Empty Bowl has always been full when I need it or any one Needs It...

Again the Same Thought... I Should help...
With the thoughts in the Mind.. Tears in My Eyes.... I transferred the money with a message..

This is Guru ji's money... Please spend it carefully ....

Reply came prompt..

Now I see the Master in You.... Sure i will spend every rupee very carefully. I start a new life from today. Thanks a lot...

Tears Role Down in my Eyes...

Same Thought Again.... What if one day My Bowl does not fill  ???
Even if I have to ask... Even if My Bowl does not fill that time....
Like how my Empty Bowl filled another Empty Bowls, Some Other Empty Bowl will fill for Me.. 
Sure... I will also find the Master in someone near me....

When the Master says something ... Listen... Even if you feel otherwise hold on to his words... Otherwise You Suffer....

But My Master is a Million Mothers put together ... Even the Children drop HIM, HE does not drop them...
How can HE ???? .... That is why HE is GOD !!!!!!!!! ........... 

HE takes care of them through some one, some way always...
Oh My Master....

A Prayer to find my Sister Who I never Knew

-
My Sister left this planet when she was just 27 days in this planet... I may be 2 or 3 years old... Oh My Sister...  This is a letter written long ago in my heart but found its expression today.... It is a special day today .... I wondered always !!!! Why did You leave so early ?? Why did you come to this Planet all the way if it was to leave us so early ?? I know Life is a mystery...  As a child I overheard from a conversation from our family members that  according to my horoscope a girl child cannot be born after me .... Is that why You left ??  Somewhere am i responsible ?? Long time i had this fear... But i am sure i could not have done anything wrong in this life time...  If you were there with us may be I would have been a different person.. May be our family environment had been different.. I don't know...  But yes one thing for sure i have missed all the love you could have given me..  Luckily i studied in a co-education school

I Live For You I live

I wanted my Devotion to HIM like Meera... I wanted to be in Love with HIM like Radha.... I wanted to be Mad in HIS Presence like Sri Ramakrishna.... I wanted to create of Knowledge and Awareness like Swami Vivekananda... But when I met HIM.... I was afraid to even Speak to HIM... Fear with God ???...  The whole point i came to HIM was to move from Fear to Love... Feeling of Helplessness... But every time when i met HIM... He has made me wait... till I come back to the true self that is LOVE>>> so that i can express the ONE I am.... I became Myself... with all my shortcomings and qualities... HE wants me as I am..  He had and have many Meeras... He has and have many Radhas... But HE wants me as I am... What do I want???... I also wanted ME as I am...Always... He has put me through all these to make ME what I am.. it meant dropping everything.... Drop my Fear...Inhibitions...Judgments.. Positions... and Everything I have.... And HE waited and is waiting

In search of the Ego that lost in the Chennai Floods…

In search of the Ego that lost in the Chennai Floods… I don’t know if I had to pay back to the city I grew up this way… I don’t know if i was lucky to be there this time… I don’t know if I was destined to be here…. In my Child hood once when there was continuous rains I remember praying… Rain Rain go away… My bro and me even made a song for the same… May be that is why I had to be there to welcome this… I never ever felt that this was too much … Somewhere in me there was this acceptance of the outpour..  Because …. It happened more than 6 months ago I came to know that a disaster (tsunami kind of disaster) is going to struck Chennai this day… I knew the Master knew this… But waited to see how HE handles this… But ran out of patience and the fear that knowing this I am not doing anything about this.. Went to HIM and asked what to do ??? First HE did not answer… But later HE said it will be not be major.. Don’t Worry… Went back with Confidence… B
