‘Ei theek na hai’

I had just begun my practice as a holistic healer, few days ago, when one family came to the clinic from Rajasthan. They were around 5-6 people, who had come from a village and each one had a few health issues. I was volunteering and checking patients for free. One lady from this family came up to me and after her consultation, sent her sister, who was one of the most innocent and sweet women I have ever met. I remember she had issues in working of few body parts and pain, due to brain injury. I asked her, how the injury happened and she told me ‘bhaisiya hamka patak dihni’. It took me a minute to understand that she was thrown away by her buffalo and I suddenly burst into laughter and she laughed with me, innocently and sweetly, without any judgement or blame. I can visualize her smiling face right now. Unfortunately, her issues were growing over time and she was living with few difficulties of mobilization and regular pain.

Rare qualities of my father (for a happy life with other people)

I observed in my father few very important and rare qualities. I saw him practice these every time, with all people to some extent or the other. As a child, I understood he was a very caring man, and admired and loved such goodness. Relationships are much more important than ego:        My father could easily say 'it’s ok', 'forget it', 'don’t be angry', 'come join for dinner' etc. He did not show any ego in being the first one to speak in-spite of his age. When mummy was angry, he would go and make tea for her and make her smile.        He would talk about my positive qualities and care for me when I was upset, with anyone in the family. Though, me or mummy were showing some real anger, but this attitude of care, kept us cool, adjust or forgive instead of making things very serious and spoiling relationships                It’s small things which matter most in relationships:    ...
