Jai Gurudev !!
Once the Guru addressed a group of devotees and asked them , " What is that you want in your life ? "
The group got quite excited and started probing themselves to tell what they wanted.
The Guru said, " Pls take a bit of paper and write it in just two words and hand it over to me !1"
Everyone got into action at once and presented the folded paper bit with their intials marked on top.
The Guru after a short discourse started seggregating the chits .
He tore quite a good number of chits into pieces and threw them away. The reason being , the wants were written as a long list of wish , more than two words . Here , the Guru's words were not followed at the first instant. So, Guru disregarded their demands totally.
Then he classified the next set as category No.1.
In this category , the chits were filled with only wants, which satisfied the Guru's instructions .
But here , all the wants were related to the individual needs like their health, their family health, wealth, kids studies , free from problems etc.
Next came the category No.2 :
Here the Guru selected the chits with the two letter wants , which are pertinent to the spiritual path as "serving the Lotus Feet of God "," Shradhha /Dedication" ," Saboori/patience" etc.
But yet this comes one step lower to the ideal category , Category No.3 , because this also belongs to the self-centered wants/needs only though of spiritual nature.
And then top most category No.3 , which the Guru selected were only very few , only 3 chits !!
People were astonished at this and were very inquisitive on what it would have been written in those selected 3 chits.
First thing is , these chits were strictly in line with the execution of Guru's instructions without any deviation.This is the prime requirement for one to be in teh spiritual path.
Secondly , the two letter wants or wish were not self centered and purely asked keeping in mind the welfare of the whole world as " All Happy" , 'Love all " ,"Help all " !!
In sanskrit , it is said as "Sarvena SukinoBhavanthu !!" meaning "All people be happy"!!
Hence the Guru concluded as " One who lives for the world , without any selfish nature ,comes under the top most class of people !!"
Which category of people do you come under ?
Can you grade yourself ?!
Love & smiles...
