Cleaning up up your own mess

Sat Naam

 

We had a dream the other day in which one of  the sangat was slouching over a toilet seat saying he wanted to go and meet Baba ji and we replied "what's the point of meeting Baba ji if you are not going to start cleaning up your own mess?" 

 

Whilst saying that we were sitting on the side of a bath tub which was blocked due to vomit and half full with dirty water.  We had our arm upto our bicep in there

 trying to unblock the drain.  Also there was vomit all over the side of the bath panel.   The person half-drunk over the toilet seat was the cause.  We were not angry or upset that we were cleaning up his vomit or his mess.

 

Then when it was unblocked, we stood up and said to a few others of his friends from the sangat who was there in a firm voice like I do when I'm telling the children off , "You all need to start taking responsibility for your own mess, start cleaning up your own mess."

 

On one side the dream may mean that I am fed up of cleaning the mess (which is not true, we did not feel it was disgusting or unfair for us to clean up the mess), on the other side the dream means that we can't just keep indulging in maya , desire and five thives and then expecting Baba ji or coming into sangat to keep cleaning us up.  We also need to make daily effort to stop chasing maya, drinking alcohol, chasing women and wealth and five thieves etc as well as doing daily Naam simran at Amritvela to clean up the mind.

 

We are just fighting five thieves this week as well, but with your grace we are back in balance now.
