PROMPT November 12th A reminder I could say to myself before I’m tempted to respond to anger with anger, to fear with fear, to negativity with negativity is... This is something I've been working on a lot recently. After I started having eye problems in 2012, my aunt (my Mom's favorite cousin, who lives in Calcutta) started steering me to believe more in Lord Krishna. Thanks to her, Lord Krishna is now more of a presence in my life and this helps me a lot. My aunt is quite spiritual, she is translating the works of our Guru, Swami Akhandanandji, from Hindi to English. She has done forty books already. They are available free online. She is also a Harry Potter fan and often combines Hindu philosophy with JK Rowling's writing, when explaining things to me. Well, she has got me to understand that whatever happens, it happens because Krishna wanted it to. Whether I understand the reason at the time or not, He has a reason. She has taught me to respond to anger or fear with: "Help me understand why, Krishna" and then leave it. The answer will come in its time. I am not yet able to do this well, but I'm trying and its helping! |
