Letting go of Sadness and disappointment
Sadness and disappointment result from misplaced expectations. This insight is very valuable and the very essence of life. It helps to let go of karmic patterns.
Actually it fits in with all the advice of the Masters and gurus to remain focused, setting your goals and taking affirmative action for achieving them.
My insight is – to expect to get from a place or situation, what you are supposed to get. Simple example, if you go the bank you cannot expect to buy your vegetables from there! See the bank as a mechanism to organize your finances better, not your domestic organizer. Yes, one MAY lead to the other, for if your finances are better organized you can have the resources and confidence to do more for yourself in life.
If you visit somewhere be clear what you there for. If you go to the gym, hope not to find your mate there. For such misplaced expectations are the source of all sadness resulting from and in a karmic pattern.
If you go to the gym and are constantly hoping to find your soul mate there, then boy you are in for some disappointment, especially if you don’t find him/her there even after years!
What will happen is, that you wont have the correct mindset about what you really are there for, and i.e. for the sole purpose of fitness. Your body will not respond to such a defocused mindset. As a result you will get neither, a fit body or least of all your soul mate. If you realize that your sole purpose of joining a gym, is physical fitness, then perhaps you will realize that you don’t even need to join a gym and spend precious hours over there and not to forget the money. Perhaps you can do it at home, by buying a few basic weights, going for a jog or cycling and…there are numerous options. And that way you may have enough time to spend looking for a mate!
Most of us spend our lives ‘looking’ for things at the wrong place. This leads to expectations, disappointments and perpetual sadness, feeling of failure, despair, sadness, loneliness….and so on. Soon a poisonous web surrounds us, blocking us from recognizing and reaching our real goals. If we are able to recognize this, find the real purpose, we would be able to focus better, achieve, attain confidence and find happiness and peace.

Exchange Energy
This is what I would like to name, my latest experience with my self. This came to me suddenly a night before, in the evening. While going about my work. I could make out suddenly (could only call it a flash) that I can exchange energy at will.
At that precise moment I think I did exchange energy, with someone, someone who had left me drained in the past. My experiences in the recent past have shown me, rather revealed to me how affected I can be by other people’s energy.
This happens when someone wants something ‘out’ of you. This feeling, which the person habors, actually ‘drains’ your energy ‘out’. This person’s strong desire to take something out of you, results in this feeling. Learn, recognize and deal with this to heal yourself.
What to do at this point.
The way to move forward from this point is to stop this connection, which the person has with you. The way I used to feel it, I would need to lie down, and sometime sleep for an hour to regain my energy. This wanting made me so drained and tired. Sometimes for days.
The first step is to understand who is the person who has expectations from you. The act of recognizing itself would distance you off from him. One can also undertake a mental cutting (snipping off) of the energy link. This can immediately make one feel better.
When I was looking for a ‘solution’ for this, I came across many methods to begin this healing, to be able to cut off this energy drain. There are various methods, which I came across, told to me by concerned friends and other spiritually inclined people. These are to mentally build a bubble of white light around you, pushing back with vengeance and determination, healing your Chakras (the underdeveloped ones), wearing the appropriate stone etc
But, I’ve now hit on my own way to defend myself; it has come to me with the blessings of Sai Baba. The remedy is to quickly exchange energy with that person. The steps, which have led me to this, include being able to feel a person’s energy permeate me. This actually helps to accept the person’s energy and absorbing it, to cancel out its negative effect. This was the first step, the second was when I began to feel my own energy or self, that is apart from my body, which inhabits this body. I felt this energy rise and fill up the whole room, and perhaps a larger area.
I had this sublime experience while moving in line for darshan of Sai Baba at Shirdi in November 2007.
