The Gas Problems

Aarushi, our little daughter, was not able to have her bowel movement... She was crying insistently. We really wanted to help her... But couldn't... Anything we did increased her pain... She would not take feed and would simply keep on crying...
Then - in the context of what her doctor had said on the first day - I tried to see what God wanted to show me and out came this blog...
Our ego - like gas in Aarushi's case - bloats our minds - like Aarushi's abdomen... And at such times, God really wants to help us... It causes us all the pain... We cry foul... We reject God's blessings (feed in Aarushi's case)... In fact, all that we need to do is to release the gas and we will start feeling better again... If we leave our egos behind, the pain in our life is gone...
Be it the problem of a peer having got a promotion before us or someone else having said something to us... It hurts our ego... An ego-less person will simply glide through situations - painlessly...
