Shivaji was a known Hindu king during Mughal period. His teacher’s name was Samarth Guru Ram Das. Guruji loved him a lot, and he too. Guruji had a lot of respect in Maratha Durbar. One day, Guruji reached at Satara along with his disciples. The moment Shivaji got this information he went running barefoot to see Guruji. He bowed down his head full heartedly at the feet of Guruji and requested him to come to his palace. Guruji said he came to collect ‘Bhiksha’ so he wouldn’t stay there.

Shivaji said, ‘Wait! You wait for some time I will arrange Bhiksha for you.’

After some time, Shivaji came back and there was a piece of paper in his hand. He put that paper in to the Bhiksha pot. Guruji read that piece of paper before his disciples and startled. It was written, ‘I hand over my kingdom to Guruji.’

Guruji said amazedly, ‘What did you do?’

Shivaji didn’t reply it. He took the Bhiksha pot and went door to door for collecting Bhiksha. After that he cooked the food and served to Guruji along his disciples.

Guruji was very happy to see his devotion towards him. He put his hand on the head of Shivaji and said, ‘Shiva! You are a lucky chap. I am a sadhu so I don’t require your kingdom. What will I do with this kingdom? You look after it and serve the public. God may fulfill your all the desires.’ After saying that, Guruji went on his way.

Aurum Metallicum is a homeopathic medicine prepared from gold which is a precious metal due to its qualities in the worldly affairs as well as in scientific world too. It acts deep in to the tissues even up to bones and heart. The most characteristic feature of it is that it causes perversion on to the emotional level.

A remedy of ‘Fissures in thought’

Divya and Ashish were working in the same office. They were fast friends since childhood but now for a long time their thoughts were contradictory. One day Divya said to Ashish, ‘I got a good idea to strengthen our friendship that is becoming weak day by day.’  Ashish replied, surprisingly, ‘OK! Tell me soon what that idea is?’

Divya said, ‘See! Today, after reaching home we will make a list in which we write all those things that one doesn’t like but the other has it. Tomorrow, in lunch break, we will read it out. In this way we may rectify ourselves so that in future our relations will not be strained.

Ashish nodded his head in acceptance.

Next day in lunch break…. Divya came near him with a list of two pages. He sat beside Ashish and started reading that list fast. After finishing the list he raised his head, took a long breath and saw at him. There were tears in Ashish’s eyes. Seeing him Divya was amazed and asked what had happened to him and why he was weeping. It was the decision of both to correct our lacking. OK. Then he asked him about his habits which he didn’t like.

Ashish said, taking a long breath, ‘Divya, you are my best friend so that I like you as you are. I am overwhelmed with your friendship. Therefore I don’t see anything wrong in you. I don’t have any word to write against you so that my paper is plain.’

Now, it was the turn of Divya to weep. The flow of water from his eyes was so intense that his both pieces of paper were merged with tears and every word written on them disappeared. His facial expression was narrating many things themselves clearly, ‘Ashish, please forgive me. Today I understood the meaning of friendship.’ Ashish embraced him tightly. It was the day when the gap between them was filled.

The story of these two friends is really emotional and touchy. It gives us a message that has deep meaning. The gap between relations or in friendship comes when we become judge for each other. Instead of keeping love, affection and respect we start searching out others weaknesses. It is quite evident; where there is criticism there will be strained relations. Therefore we should emphasize more on love in relations than any other thing. If we see our friendship through spectacles of love we will be unable to see the weaknesses of our loved ones. If we find in him any negative quality and tell him politely at the appropriate time, he will not feel bad but relations would be better and deep. Friendship is an incredible thing in the world so that it should not be wasted in petty pebble like talk. I read it in a magazine named ‘Akhand Gyan’ and liked it so that I wrote down it at my blog.

I am a poor farmer of Jodhpur and have no personal field to earn my livelihood. I labor in the field of others to survive. Last year, I got an invitation to celebrate Holi festival at Guruji’s house. I requested my employer to grant me leave to go to Guruji’ house for celebrating Holi but my boss refused me to grant a leave even for a single day.  So even on the day of Holi I went to the field for doing work along with my lunch box. My heart was weeping invisibly and I was cursing my fractured luck. I was telling my Guruji, in thoughts, ‘Sir! My fortune is not as good as it should be… I am one of the unluckiest people in the universe… Otherwise I would also have been wet in different colours of Holi….’  I remembered my tears were not being stopped from the eyes… All of a sudden I started feeling something cold inside my body that began from forehead and then went to throat… then to chest… and after that in every part of the body. I couldn’t understand the reason of this feeling though the sun was shining brightly but my body was feeling a special type of coldness.

After finishing some work I stopped plowing the field and went at a lonely place. I startled suddenly and started thinking why I came here walking. At that time I felt something inside my head as if my head is drawn to sky. I raised my eyes at the sky and saw a white ball that was moving round. It had bright light and at that time shower of cold water from it began to drizzle at me. My head and clothes got wet. I felt such coldness in the body as if silver water were pouring on my body. I was wet from head to toe. With this experience I came back near my friends. Then a friend of mine said, ‘my dear where are you coming from? Did you plunge into the well?’  I said to him, ‘I can’t explain it but I think my Guruji had played Holi with me and he had wet me with the water.’

This is somewhat a religious story that is experienced by one of the devotees of the Guruji. I am unable explain it and I read it in a magazine named ‘Akhand Gyan’.
