Doors to Heaven and Hell

The following story is an adaptation of a parable of Sri Ramakrishna.

Suresh and Velu were good friends. One evening while walking through the streets, they passed by an auditorium.

From a banner displayed outside, they learnt that a discourse on the Bhagavatham by a renowned Swamiji was taking place at that venue.

Suresh turned to Velu and said “Hey, let us go in and listen to him”.

Velu shook his head and said, “Have you heard of a call-girl who has just moved into our town?  I would like to go there”.

Suresh’s jaw dropped in shock. He burst out to Velu, “Are you out of your mind? Visiting a prostitute indeed! What you are contemplating is a sin!”

Suresh entered the auditorium to listen to the lecture, while Velu wended his way to meet the prostitute.

Different doors lead to unexpected exits

The Swamiji spoke for an hour and a half and he really excelled himself.

From the very beginning Suresh’s mind was playing truant. His mind kept conjuring up lurid images of Velu and the prostitute.

The net result was that not even a single word of the discourse failed to register in his mind.

At the same time, Velu’s mind, while he was with the prostitute, was overwhelmed by self-disgust.

He thought to himself “Oh! What a miserable wretch I am! Why did I allow my mind to lead me into temptation? Why did I have to satisfy my curiosity?

“Oh! How lucky Suresh is! He must be sitting in the auditorium listening to the fascinating tales of Krishna. I can actually picture what it would be like”.

In this vein, his thoughts ran on constantly.

Heaven and Hell are due to our mind

In course of time, the two friends died and Suresh was shocked to find himself in hell while his friend Velu was in heaven.

Bewildered and a little angry, he asked God “Is this some joke? Our positions have been switched. Surely I deserve to be in Heaven and Velu in hell. After all when I was sitting devoutly in the discourse, he was dallying with a prostitute!”

God smiled, shook his head and said “Son, I agree you were present at the discourse when your friend was with the prostitute. But important question is where your respective minds were?”

Physically Present Mentally Absent

If one is physically present but mentally somewhere, the flower remedies ROCK WATER and CHESTNUT BUD can correct this.

It is the mind which is doing the karma; whether the body follows the mind or not, it is the working of the mind which is concerned with all our action (Karma).

Healing connection with Paramacharya

Last weekend, I was cleaning my attic. I happened to find the photograph of Paramacharya Chandrashekarendra Saraswati. It showed his devotees doing Kanaga Abhishekam on him. It is a prayer to seek wealth and welfare.

The photo was kept unclean. So, I felt bad and send Reiki to Paramacharya using the Silver Triangle as a sign of apology and prayer.

I didn’t know what the message is for me here, because I believe strongly that divine gives us messages and guidance through many forms.

So, I simply prayed to Paramacharya, seeking whatever healing required by me, my family, and my patients.

Connection between the lost child and her parents

Only last month, I read an article about him in a Tamil Newspaper.

The story goes like this.

An old couple approached Paramacharya. They were childless and wanted to do something back to the society – either in the form of taking care of expenses of some poor girl (as marriage expenses are taken care of by the brides’ family in this part of the world) or adopt a child. Therefore they sought his guidance.

Paramacharya asked them to contact the poor family waiting to meet him outside his abode. The old couple had a daughter who was about to get married and were looking for some financial help to get their daughter married.

 When enquired about their daughter, the daughter’s father told the old couple that they found the girl in a railway station about 15 years back.

What was surprising was that the girl was nothing but the daughter of the old couple themselves. The man is her father and the lady was her step-mother.

It is his daughter from his first marriage. After, his first wife passed away, he married his current wife. On her insistence, he left the daughter in a railway station that is far away from their home, so that she will be lost from their lives. And, he never had a child through his second marriage.

The girl was picked up by the poor couple, who were childless themselves and took care of her from then.

How Paramacharya did know this? Nobody knew that fact. But, somehow he connected the abandoned daughter with her legal parents.

Connection with right gynecologist

Kala was about to have her second child. She has major complications and couldn’t find a solution to fix them. Unfortunately, each doctor she consulted had given her different warnings, which confused her further. So she was worried and said she had to meet me immediately.

The time she came to see me, a couple was waiting for me to consult me for the first time. When I found out that the lady is gynecologist, I asked her to help Kala. The doctor obliged to see Kala immediately and gave the right consultation that was the need for the hour.

The doctor refused to take any money as she felt that only divine has made her to come to my clinic and meet Kala. I insisted that she take 200 rupees as a token of energy exchange.

However, I told her to keep it with her and not spend it, as I have understood the message from divine – here Paramacharya, that divine is offering to the doctor, a gift of wealth and welfare in the form of 200 rupees.

What is the connection with Reiki past healing and Saints?

Whenever you want to seek the guidance and blessings of Saints and Sages, or Gods for that matter, you put them in the altar in the form of silver triangle and do your prayers by drawing Reiki symbols.

 You will be able to receive their grace and rays of love from them.

While doing the prayer, make an affirmation, “I OPEN to GRACE and RAYS of LIGHT and LOVE of …. (NAME of the SAINT)”
