One 50 years old lady who had developed many ailments lately wanted to die. She said that there is no way her life could improve. well quality of life depends on how we feel about life. If amidst the biggest storm we feel it is an adventure then life is good and if we feel unsettled even in most pleasant conditions then it is. She explained the reason for her feelings. Her husband died some 5 years back and her son left her too after that. He left her because her daughter in law did not want to live with her. She started cursing her daughter in law and said to the extent that she should die, she would die alone, she would starve to death and many things like that. When she was saying all those those things, I stopped her in between and asked her, who was dying alone here? Who was actually starving? ( Though she had money but because of her negativity no servant survived and because if her ailment she could not cook every day). She was gaping and like something revealed to her. So you mean whatever I am saying, is actually happening to you. I do not have to say anything, you can see it yourself. She asked, what about we have seen in movies etc, like a lady cursed someone and that thing actually happened and the other person suffered. Well, it means it was a movie and sometimes a heart cry is heart out of innocence but if you are doing it with an intention to harm anyone, then definitely it is in you only and it is one Universe. Our mind does not differentiate between you and me. For our mind, it is one spirit inside with different bodies and if you desire something for someone else, it would first be happening to you. Then what would happen to her as she was responsible for this condition. First thing, she cannot do it without your son’s consent. Second thing, let her face the results of what she has done in her life but why are you making it worse for yourself? Just by saying things how can I call bad for myself? Well first thing is when you thought only your words could harm her why your words would not harm you? Second thing is, Bhagwad Gita says, it cannot happen that you are not doing your Karma. Even if you are thinking, you are doing your Karma. Because your thoughts have the power to influence the reality. So even if you are thinking, you are doing your Karma and we all believe that Gita was spoken by Lord himself. She started crying and seeked solution.
Well, if you have cursed, now start blessing. With every breath you take, you must forgive yourself and her. You must bless her and her life. She started following it. The solution to her problem was through her heart only. Initially it was difficult because there was a lot of anger also piled up. But it helped and healed the situation. It took one year to reverse the situation. Somehow, her health also improved and she wondered was it her negativity which was harming her body and the answer is yes. After one year, her son came to her to get her to his home and requested her to live with her. She wondered was she only causing so much harm to herself?
