A sudden realisation.Thank God

I am a student of yoga and also a teacher. Though not into heavy philosophy, some of the concepts do rub off. Many a time human behaviour is perplexing and I have been trying to find some meaning in the behaviour whenever it causes some mental disturbance.
That was an understatement. There has been some incidents and behaviours which have caused me a lot of discomfort and though I have come up with some band- aid solutions, they manage to come again and occupy my mind space after a while.
Let me explain. Somebody known to you is in some difficulty. They reach out to you for help. You immediately give them the help that they wanted. Then immediately the relationship with them sours. And simultaneously the relationship with people who bluntly refused to help soars! The first time you think you are reading too much meaning into small stuff, but then it happens over and over again with the same pattern over a number of years. Then you realise that the relationship has really gone for a toss because you helped them when they wanted help. Did not make any sense to me.

Suddenly yesterday after I finished my yoga routine, a flash of understanding came. I told myself, somebody needed help, and you helped immediately with good and genuine feeling. So your baggage of karma is reduced by the good deed. Woh! great! Transaction over. Their actions/reactions are of no relevance to you. It is coming under the realm of their karma. Let them handle it their way. You are not anywhere there. I felt so liberated and free!

Thank you teachers for enabling me to see light! And get rid of the unnecessary baggage I was carrying all these years.
