Guru's desire Vs Your will

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

This is something that happened to me this weekend . I will give you

a brief sketch and ask this question ' What would you have done if

you were I and why ' ? I am at peace with the decision that I

took , still this makes for some interesting debate.

 

For those of you that know me personally, you know that for the last

few Sundays I come to the Mandir and have volunteered to cook

breakfast for Maa and Swamiji. I am so honored to be blessed to cook

for them.

 

I was working this late this Saturday but had every intention of

going in to the Mandir on Sunday morning ( I live 100 miles and 2 hrs

away). I got a message from one of Maa's devotees that She wanted me

to attend a Sunderkhand recital this Sunday at one of her devotees

house that live very near to me. The program was scheduled at 10 am.

 

I saw 3 options - go by my plan (Mandir/breakfast), go by Maa's plan

(Sunderkhand), do both (involving getting up very early and leaving

a cold breakfast for Maa, and potentially being late for the

Sunderkhand) . I wanted very much to do option 3, but getting up

early ( I thought of what you said Kelly and tried to cry and move

the energy, but I just went back to the blissful womb of sleep) .

 

Anyways, long story short , I went for the Sunderkhand.

 

What would you have done in my place ? Can other devotees share

similar stories of their experiences - their's vs the Guru's will and

what they decided ?

 

Thanks all,

Love

Latha
