HARE KRISHNA.
Amongst the many problems of our life, one of them is continuous expectations in material or any other form from our near and dear ones, once our expectation is not fulfilled we lose our temper and feel despondent.
I believe , that the root cause of all our problems is "EXPECTATIONS". Yes, as human beings we are bound in various relationship such as mother, daughter, wife, friend etc and hence it is quite natural for many to expect something or other from each of our relationship. To my mind, if we slowly but steadily develop our mind set in such a way that we cease to expect anything from anyone we would be the happiest, this is from personal experience.
Till about few years , i kept on believing that all those am in touch with , need to reciprocate in some way or the other , maybe acknowledge my service towards them, or thank me or make me feel have done something for them, when this did not happen I used to get upset and pained. After taking to Lord Sri Krishna consciousness, as one of the most humble devotees, because of the greatest grace of the lord himself , slowly my expectations towards my near and dear ones have almost become negligible. To develop this attitude is really tough but once having achieved the same it is the easiest and the mind automatically does everything as a duty with no eye towards any rewards from any mortal. It is surely possible but one needs to seriously work on this for nothing on this earth is impossible , it is all in the mind, if we give the right command to our mind it will accept, all we need to do is to give the most appropriate command to our mind.
Example if as a parent we are nurturing our children, taking care of them , enabling them to stand on their own feet, educating them to take up very good posts in life it does not mean once they achieved all this we need to remind them that their success is because of our efforts and for the rest of their life make them feel claustrophobic and squeeze them of their enthusiasm every time reminding them to serve us. As parents we need to do our duty to the very best of our abilities and totally forget and expect anything even from our children, this is the very best for their well being as also ours. In this way, each of our relationship should be such that our expectations should be nil , this requires great maturity, practice and above all a realization that apart from our most dearest Lord Sri Krishna who is the actual doer , we are just a medium working as per his loving guidance and hence should not be bound by relationship but perform all our duties sincerely and leave the rest to our Lord Sri Krishna. We need to break ourselves from the shackles of all our karma by the most divine help and support of our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna. This is a sure shot route to happiness, harmony, mental peace and above all physical robustness for instead of wasting our most precious time in expecting we can spend that many most precious moments serving our most loveable Lord Sri Krishna and our dearest Radha rani and in this relationship one need not expect any thing everything is bestowed by default by his most loving compassionate nature for there is none in this entire cosmos or the three worlds more loveable than our creator Lord Sri Krishna for he keeps bestowing and bestowing till we have nothing further to ask , as they say in economics, stage of total satiety.
