Today Vishwamitra stressed a very poignant point. Your pain is because of your own actions. Mark these words. From life point of view this is very important. Because many times when we are faced with pain we like to look outside , but not inside. We like to point fingers at somebody, blame somebody or put it on circumstance or God, or the so called position of planets.
All of this might have some influence but ultimately whether it is happiness or pain whatever you get are because of your actions only.
What do we do when we get physical pain. In certain cases it will go on its own, certain cases you take tablet, certain cases needs surgery and certain severe cases need prolonged medication and support from doctor. We do not hesitate to address our physical pain.
What about emotional pain. It is the same cycle. Some pain goes on its own. But some pain needs medication and support system to come out of it. But the medication and support system will be available only when you accept there is a problem. Understand that emotional pain is an indication to change the direction of your actions. Something is not right and pain is the indication of that. When you look inward, start asking questions, answers will emerge, some will get solved by self medication. But some pain needs extensive support system just like Ram asked Vishwamitra to share the pain. It needs an emphatic person who can lend a hearing without judging. Even God can be that person. You can speak to God also like you are speaking to a friend all your troubles if you dont get anyone else. Believe me once you talk, speak a way will open up.
So what is the way to avoid pain in life. Observe present and do your actions responsibly. If you see in the incident involved both Vasistha and Viswamitra are at fault. Nandini was given to Vashistha to take care of ashram needs and also to help any needy people coming to ashram. Not to show off his superiority to a king. And it was this showing of that resulted in Vishwamitra asking the cow and subsequent events.
So always think before the action. Never show off your boons. They are to be used when only needed the most. Never crave for other's possession. You can ward off emotional pain to a great extend
