Mullah was sad one day…

A Story about Happiness and of course Sadness…!!!

His friend asked him, “Why are you sad?”

Mullah replied, “My uncle died a month ago. He has willed his property to me. I just thought about it and feel sad”.

“What a fool you are? He was eighty when he died. Moreover, all his property is yours now. Instead of being happy, why should you feel sad and weep?”

“No! No! The matter is different. Last week, another uncle of mine died and he also has written his property in my name”.

“So what. Now, you should be doubly happy. He is also as old as this uncle. There is nothing to mourn or loathe. Cheer up yourself”.

“Shall I tell you one more thing?”

“Please go ahead”.

“My grand father who was ninety years old died yesterday, after giving Rs. 2 lakhs to me”.

Greatly angered the friend replied, “I don’t understand the reason for your sadness then”.

Wiping his tears, Mullah said, “All my rich relatives had died. Now, there is nobody among my relatives old enough to die and give his property to me”.

This is the mentality of a negative (Bach Flower) Gentian person. His mind is not happy about what he gets. The Gentian mind feels sad about what he has not got.

Acknowledge the Good in Others

Rajendran is a highly reputed officer working in a government office approached Naran.

Rajendran: I have a problem with my neighbour, who lives above my flat. Water is leaking from his bathroom and seeps in to mine. The house owner is not willing to fix that.

Naran: Is he a bad person.

Rajendran: Interestingly, he is an exemplary in all his activities – especially inside our apartment complex. He has made lot of improvements in our complex. Therefore, every one likes him. Yet I don’t know why he doesn’t want to fix the issue in his bathroom.

Naran: Do me a favour. Write all the good qualities he has and send it to him, without complaining about his bathroom and let me know what happens.

Rajendran did as Naran suggested. He got a reply from his neighbour apologising for not fixing the issue. He went ahead and fixed the issue.

Circle of Goodness

In the Babemba tribe of South Africa, when a person acts unjustly or irresponsibly, he is placed in the centre of the village, alone and unfettered.

All work ceases, and every man, woman, and child in the village gathers in a large circle around the accused individual. Then each person in the tribe speaks to the accused, one at a time, each recalling the good things the person in the centre of the circle has done in his lifetime. Every incident, every experience that can be recalled with any detail and accuracy, is recounted.

This tribal ceremony lasts for several days.

At the end, the tribal circle is broken, a joyous celebration takes place, and the person is symbolically and literally welcomed back into the tribe.

A case study on Forgiveness

A person from Gujarat, who’s unknown to me, approached me to resolve many problems she was facing then. So I suggested to her along with other techniques to forgive everybody in her family.

For a week she did the forgiveness exercise methodically. Whenever you sincerely do something, then you became that energy.

One night she had a dream, where she saw a temple that she never used to visit. She saw somebody in that dream whom she knew and who used to visit the temple often.

The lady told her in the dream, “You have done the forgiveness for everybody in the family, except for a 7-year old child, which died few years back”.

She was unsure, even though it was correct. The child when it died was seven years old. She was wondering why she needs to forgive somebody who is a child and who is no more.

Sometimes when one dies young, it won’t know how to go to the next life, stranded in the current lifetime’s pranic field. They need lots of love and light to go to the next life.

When you do forgiveness exercise, or do Reiki, they are filled with light and love. With your help they will go to next level i.e., they transit easily.

Therefore, I suggested to my patient to do forgiveness exercise, so that the child will be healed to smooth transition for the next life.
