🌷🌺🌷 Who is my Valentine?
A college going
girl walked in one of our workshops in Mumbai and asked, “I have only one issue
in my life, if you guarantee that you can solve it then only will I do your
workshop."
She asked a very
simple but highly emotional question, "Sir, I am deeply in love with my
boyfriend but he is of another caste and my parents are not allowing our
marriage. Neither can I run from my house and get married because I love my
parents too much to go against their will like that. But I also love my
boyfriend and I want to get married to him. I am standing at cross roads now.
My heart loves both of them equally. I don’t know where to go and whom to
follow. I am truly troubled.”
Such issues are
very common in life when it's tough to decide who truly loves you and who you
should stick with. Love is not defined by possessiveness where someone says, ‘I
will kill myself if you go away from my life’. It is not defined by doubts
where you constantly doubt your partner.
Only two days was
left for my Mumbai workshop so I gave one psychological task to that girl. I
said, “If you get the answer then only attend my workshop. I am neither God nor
a saint but yes the divine will support you to arrive at a conclusion. Go and
tell your parents very seriously that if you need their liver and kidneys in
the future in case of a medical emergency, are they willing to give them to you?
While asking this question look closely in their eyes and observe their
reactions and you will get the answer.”
That girl did not
attend my Mumbai workshop in that month. Later in the next month not only did
she attend three of my workshops in Pune but also recommended them to others.
Why, you ask?
When she asked
the same question to her boyfriend he replied, “I can take care of all your
expenses and I will go to every possible lengths to save you even if you need
treatment anywhere in this world.” But when the question of donating his organs
for her came into light he kept quiet.
When the parents
of the girl were faced with the same question, they said, “We don't have enough
money for your operation if it's required, but yes we will give every part of our
body and whatever else the doctor needs for your survival. We don't have any
asset to sell or mortgage but we will spend our entire old age in that hospital
serving patients without salary.” They broke down while saying this to their
only daughter.
Even after
getting their respective answers the girl was still confused on her decision.
It was tough for her to accept the truth and so she spent a few days in
silence. After a few days she found out that her boyfriend was flirting round
with other girls giving the excuse that his girlfriend was not medically fit.
Your true love
will never be judged from the amount of flowers that he gives you or the
sweetened words that he uses. Rather he is defined by the amount of love and
support he portrays towards you. He is defined by the way he treats you when
times get hard. The one who truly loves will always put you first. He will care
for you and never leave you behind when faced with difficulties.
