whatever you do comes back to you !

One day you comprehend that the
sorrow we give others makes us equally sad; the joy we give others makes us equally happy.

But we think in opposite terms – saving joy for ourselves and wishing sorrow on others. And we feel, perhaps, that in that way our own quota of happiness will be greater.

The end result is that you find your own life filled with sorrow because whatever you give returns to you. If you have sown thorns
for others, your own life gets surrounded by thorns. And if you go about sowing flowers unconcerned with what others are doing, your life becomes filled with flowers.

You reap what you sow.

But we do not seem to understand this formula of life.

A woman came to me wanting to divorce her husband.

I will never forget what she asked of me.
She said, ”Show me a way of getting a divorce so that my husband remains miserable for all time to come.”

She knows very well that her husband will be the happiest person in the world the day she
divorces him; she has pestered him
endlessly.

Now she wants that he be made miserable even after she leaves.

When we are together we wish to give sorrow; when we are apart we wish to give sorrow.

Together or apart, if our aim in life is to create sorrow and pain for others, then it can only gradually create a painful wound within ourselves.

The wound is of our own making. It comes out of constant attention to provoking pain.

This is what we call karma, the process of actions. Fate, destiny, only mean that whatever you do comes back to you.

Though there may be a certain lapse of time, eventually it is bound to bounce back to affect you.

Therefore do only what you want to obtain for yourself.

If you find yourself in a veritable hell, it is of your own making – the fruit of what you have been doing for countless births.

People come to me and say, ”Bless us so that we may attain happiness.” There would be no problem if it were so easy, if one man could just bless everyone and they would find happiness.

How could my blessings wash away your misery?

Try to understand me and not ask for blessings; that would be mere deception.

You have given pain and suffering to others, now you must reap the fruits of your actions; and you come to ask for blessings?

And your attitude is that you suffer because I do not give you my blessings.

No blessings can remove your suffering.

If somebody’s blessings help to improve your understanding and sow seeds of love within you, that is more than enough.

Sins can be washed away only with love, and suffering can end only when you give happiness to others.
