Living what we already know   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #159 of 242 |
Dera Friends,
I want to share an inspiring message from Iravasa (name changed - 
because she prefers to do things in a secret or gupchup way, as we say in Hindi )
who attended my Hadayoli Joyshop recently.
It highlights how actually living the simple truths we already
know can make such a difference.
Like the poem I composed once...
"Here you may not learn anything new
Only practice what you already knew!
This is not about gathering happiness
This is about spreading happiness"
Iravasa's message highlights these lines perfectly.
I feel so lucky to get lovely messages like this 
from lovely people like Iravasa.
Lets all share in her joy and exclaim "And so it is!"
aloud at the end of the message (like we do in the Joyshop!).
Haven't I got the best joy in the world!!?
Peace,
Nithya
 
PS: Joy = Job, for some ; )

Dear...I don't know what to call you...but is Nitya ok? That is what I call you in third person!
So dear Nitya,
I expierienced an amazing thing today. Well I knew about intends and five minutes miracle even before. And that did not fascinated me much any more...really speaking. Know what a magician knows and it is no more a magic.....
But till now my whole life was based on "me". Who was the most important person in my life? : off course ME. Even if I wished myself the greatest pleasure ....so? That did not satisfy me anymore.
I always had a feeling, the most basic thing behind this universe must be so simple... otherwise the whole thing is so difficult to manage. ( I know I am writting to a master... but this is what I really feel!) But I never questioned the importance of ME.
And there u came, giving lessons of love. Actually such a basic thing!!!! And I started making wishes. I made many small wishes... One of them was bringing happiness in the life of my friend, who has an autistic child and I really could not see her pain. I mean I really wanted to make her happy. And I wished for her. She had to shift to Amadabad, because her husband had a better job profile there. And the shifting was going to be very difficult for her because of the child having special needs. And today she called saying her husband has got a good job here itself and her shifting has been cancelled......!!!!!
You know, this was not the first time, when the intend had come true. But the joy it gave to me just doesn't have  words to express.... The happiness in her eyes ....I just can't describe it. She did not know, I made this wish for her, nor do I want to emhasise it. And I was not happy because MY wish for her had come true, I was happy because I could do her some good. And now I have wished her a normal baby girl and I can see her life comming back to normal.
Love has such small but important expressions. (I hope you are not getting bored) In our neighbourhood there lives a child...may be 11 yrs old. Earlier I would have judged him as boring and "chipkoo". Today when he came our house my husband tried to get rid of him. He went back home. But then there were counter thoughts in my mind. The child is only a child.... ! It does not have father. We don't know much of that family, but may be he needs people. And I invited him. Offered him something to eat. I know, many mothers, many sisters are doing this act as a practise and they don't even speak a word about it. Next time even I will not tell it to anyone....this is such a simple act. But it gave me such an energy...And I really thank that child to give me this opportunity.
 
Thank you so much Nitya. I can't express it. I know you know it. But I am feeling good after writting this. I am the happy person and you helped me for that. Thank you so much!
 
And I hope you didn't get bored reading such a looooooooonnnnnnngggggg letter! :D
Thank you. May I be the channel of blessing for someone today!
 
With love and best wishes
Iravasa                                                        
 
AND SO IT IS!!
