My Dear Anyone

WB

You are back to square one again, eh ? Hey, can you leave your parents alone, pls ? It doesn’t matter what you think is right for your mother or father. What matters is that they are both happy with each other. Why don’t you go and ask your mother if she is unhappy with dad ? If she was, she would have left him ages ago even if the circumstances didn’t permit so due to different cultures or what so ever.

Sometimes, we get so carried away with what is important for us that we forget that others have their own lives to live. Remember, we cant change anyone else or show them the right path. Everyone is doing the best in their own capacities. If your parents have lived together for the last 30 years (even if the relationship is not compatible), something must be working for them. Appreciate that.

Your concern is very well and nice. What they need is your ongoing unconditional love and support. They don’t need you tell them how to lead their lives. Accept them for who they are. Live and let live.

Lots of love to you as well.

Good night

Jasmine

Hey Anyone

I was planning to go to bed and thats why I wrote GN, lol

Hey, I understand you want to reduce your mother’s suffering. But how do you know she is suffering ? This is the main issue and what I am trying to say is that we are all trying to alter everyone else’s life scripts based on our own needs and expectations. You may have suffered and learnt your lessons. Good for you. How do you know mom needs to learn from your lessons ? Why do we impose our likes and dislikes on our loved ones ? Can we let everyone play out their own role in life ?

We cant take away other people’s suffering. We can be there for them while they suffer and provide unconditional support so that the suffering doesnt seem as bad.

Perhaps, you can ask mom to do more charity such as feeding the needy. By providing food donations, we get a lot of heart felt blessings, which can bring heaps of positivity into everyone’s lives.

You can offer daily prayers for your loved ones. Prayers never go to waste 🙂

What else is new in your world ? We are moving forward, yeah ?

Hey Anyone

Wow. Parents staying at your place. You must be having such a gala time 🙂

Hey, why are you worrying about commitment? Once bitten, twice shy, eh ?

When a commitment is meant to happen, it will happen, I am sure. Until then, enjoy every interaction without any expectations or judgments. You will be surprised that how easy it is to find a compatible partner when we drop our judgments / prejudices at the door. Every friendship, relationship, interaction etc becomes effortless. Don’t believe in my words as yet – try them out for yourself.

Whats new at my end ? I am going through a steep learning curve yet again. I was having a deep and meaningful with my hubby yesterday. I was telling him about the intriguing conversation that was taking place on one of the threads. The insights that he shared with me after that discussion were just amazing. I felt so blessed to have such a sensible bloke for a hubby. The lesson I learnt from the DNM was that sometimes, we women become so insecure about our own decisions and people in our lives because of the company we keep. The people that we ask for advice or help for our dilemmas have such a huge capacity to ruin our mental stability by planting just one seed of doubt….and this seed could make or a break a relationship.

I hope you can take something valuable from this as well and whenever you engage in the next relationship, you will not fall into the same trap again 🙂

More about me: 2 dogs, 1 husband and ME. Work and home obligations keep us busy but we make sure that every day is fun in some way. My dogs are so cheeky and yet so obedient. They are the most social and adaptable dogs you will come across. We sent them to doggy school early in their lives, which was a wise decision. We have made so many friends thanks to them. Life has always been a blessing at this end but lately, it has become sweeter. Not sure if it is the regular meditation, positive vibes from people or just pure luck. However, I am not complaining and am happy to continue in this state LOL

We have been to India couple of times for short holidays many years ago. I adore simple indian food and lately, I have been addicted to Dosa, Idli and Coconut Chutney. You are so lucky to be living in India with so many spiritual gurus, wisdom and traditions. We don’t have that sort of privilege down under. Although, I was not brought up in India, I have always been smitten by the country and its culture. It works for me somehow at a deeper level. Rome does the same 🙂 and I have no clue why.

One day, I will be there attending one of the spiritual retreats – hopefully sooniiiiiiish 🙂 The teachings do it for me and I have read the Gita and I love Krishna’s story.

Have a great evening and keep in touch.

Thanks Anyone 🙂 Woof woof back from the dogs.

Ahhhh! That’s so lovely! ‘Showering love’ is just wonderful. Nice work, both Jasmine and ‘Anyone’. 🙂
