rudraksha, gift ?

[Guest guest]

Namaste Bietmeh,

 

Each individual before they came into contact with rudraksha is a different

person. Whatever changes rudraksha bestow upon them has got to be for their own

good as rudraksha are the Tears of Lord Shiva for saving mankind. Say we are

suffering something and it seems terrible but without rudraksha, the suffering

could be 10 or 1 million times worse.

 

There is a saying that when the student is ready (even without knowing it), the

guru will appear. And in your case, your father perhaps introduced you to

rudrakshas because he feels they will be good for you. And in the subtle

dimension, the guru (Shiva) is ready to take you on at that certain point in

your life to make you learn a few things. You would be presented with

temptations such as alcohol, greed, etc -- all these are lessons for your

learning. If you can resist temptations and go back to being a 'simple man', you

would have traversed spiritually. Its all for your own good.

 

 

Om Bholenath

I had given myself to god. One day when my father introduced me to rudrakshas

and I have been wearing these (1-6,11,12,13,15) for last two years. I Have seen

major changes in me. I tend to follow my duties, I'm blunt, and some how

attracted to all the desires in the world including alcohol, sex, money and

power. My questions is, is this a gift?

thanks narasimhaye for your thoughts, but few more concerns:

 

 

I agree that guru comes to you when the time is right without having the prior

knowledge to the student. As for me living a simple life prior wearing

rudrakshas and not been attracted towards any sort of desires and besides being

the age of 22, I have come across contemplative reading towards bhagvat gita

among few other philosophical guide lines on how to live your life righteously.

And having a complete comprehensive and logical understand why the things are

wrong and why should be avoided and why should one follow the basic concept of

morality. Why would I be tested again to transverse myself to spirituality? I am

spiritual, I intend to follow my duties and the concept of morality. I am able

to see through people that lack the knowledge of the simple golden rule (golden

rule states: treat others as you treat yourself), then why would I be tested? or

rather there is no test, but a treat?

 

Thanks for reading... open to any of your thoughts.
