Humbled, Honoured and Inspired


What can I say... I am humbled, honoured and inspired by the love and wisdom I read in all the mails sent in public and private.

How much nobility... how much humility... how much transparency... So much love. Each mail shows the beauty of character of the sender. And of course the silent family members who send sweet good wishes. Need I add that each murli reveals so many more aspects of the ocean of love? I am grateful to Baba and my beautiful part in this sweet drama to be with all of you.

Integrity asked me to share the below mail to our senior instruments especially with whom I am engaged actively in service. In one case, I am also participating in forming a group that follow the highest code of conduct (maryada purushottam). The irony is not lost on me. But honesty keeps the soul light and easy.

I had not shared any details of the extent of the grossness of Maya because it seemed unnecessary. It is possible that other souls could consider it to be at a different level than it is... and I leave it to sweet drama. The mail was with the intent of having shared learning within the family and am inspired to see the beautiful responses.

When a karmic account is settled and the veil is lifted, it seems like a thing of the past, completely unconnected. Today Baba was speaking about crying. I remembered a time a few years back when after some discussion with the lokik family I wept and tears flowed profusely. I was taken aback because I was not feeling any sorrow and in fact there was no problem to have initiated this spate of tears. I watched on as I wept and my lokik parents were wondering what happened as it was very unlike my usual behaviour. After a few minutes it was all over but it was very strange. A few days later I read an avyakt murli where Baba said that when you cry as part of the drama and karmic settlement but do not feel any sorrow, you are playing the part of a hero actor. I was amazed.

In another murli Baba said that dark clouds of Maya will come and go, but the sun shines on. In my case, the sun did get affected but continued to shine. As of now, some of the dark clouds have cleared and the clear beams of sunshine are visible from between the dark clouds.

I have learnt many lessons from this beautiful episode but one special personal learning is that being detached from the role keeps me free from suffering. Yesterday was Rakhi and Baba showered me with love and yesterday amritvela onwards we are back in each other's sweet loving company.
