He was upset and sat with me to talk about everything. He had been taking professional counselling. So he opened up about his emotions once again. HE shared similar emotions multiple times in last few months. So when he was feeling better, he said that daily he sleeps with these things. It is eroding away his peace, his health and everything. He was unable to focus on work or relationship or anything. It would happen, if he has been thinking of all the bad things happened to him all the time from childhood. What about the good things and with great effort, he could recall few. HE said that not many good things happened. But the reality was he was only repeating bad ones, where he was making himself a victim. So we again sat with the same question and this time he could recall few more. Then again with few more. That way in few days, we collected a lot of positive experiences. Along with the progress, he was also sounding better.
Then came the big question, what did you learn from this?
So the next question was, with my growing list or from bad experiences?
Both!
1. I was focused on pain, gathered more pain and ignored good things. Because I ignored they reduced.
2. I might have done some bad Karma, so I accept that and that’s why it happened!
Fair enough! You might have. But still whats the purpose? Without realizing the purpose of pain, we have failed!
So we suffer because we have done something bad?
So let’s take another side of it.
Why do you slap a child?
Yes, because child has done a mistake. But what’s your purpose?
To give him pain or to make him realize his mistake and learn from it?
So every beating has a purpose to make you better and to improve.
So every beating life gives us has a purpose to improve us and make us better. If we choose to become negative, we go behind and we take further beating. But if we learn from that, we move on to the next level.
Purpose of everything is to evolve us and make us better.
So instead of asking what all bad happened, ask yourself, what did I learn today. If there is something which is bothering you, ask, what it is trying to teach me. Learning is most important. Earth is the cultivating ground for every soul to learn and evolve.
