I am not going to discuss with you the rejection of my daughter or son in matrimonial alliance, but the rejection of my book by the Publisher. I submitted my book for evaluation and publication and I was told through e-mail to wait up to three months for the decision and once the decision is given it will be final with no room to talk further. I thought I tried my hand on this book to the best of my ability, but the rejection without any remarks makes me oblivious of the fact on what ground the book has been rejected. The remarks can make me aware to take my script as per instructions not to get rejection once again, but I am restricted to approach the Publisher to know about it, as per clear-cut instructions indicated on their website.
I was fully satisfied with my book before submission and hoped, rather created thoughts in my mind what to do thereafter, but everything crashed and it relishes bitter. I have recently read in the paper that success should not reach one�s head and the failure to the heart, which is very close to truth, but some damage has already been done with the sudden shock which I received immediately after receiving their e-mail message. Immediately after that I created another thought which sister Shivani has been teaching us for a pretty long time, and which is quite appropriate in this situation. It was to happen and it has happened with no fault of mine and the other valid reason is that it is not under my control, and then what�s the remedy, which comes to my mind, is to keep on writing and reading others and one day your work will be appreciated.
I am aware that these publishing firms are commercial organizations and might have devised certain rules not to get them involved in legal knots and waste their time for no reason, and it seems justified on their part. In my case I was told to wait for the reply during eight to ten weeks and I was happy in my ignorance to get a positive reply from the editors, because of my positive thinking, but the rejection stirred my emotions within nineteen days with the sugar coated reply that while there truly is great writing, but unfortunately this book doesn�t fit in our publishing programme. Had I not been listening to sister Shivani, I would have reacted by tormenting myself, but now I feel calm, thinking to place this problem aside and walk further.
I shall not carry the load of this hurt further to feel worried and uncomfortable and thus the only way coming to my mind is to delete it from my mind to make space for energy giving thoughts. After throwing it in the dust bin, I shall completely forget about it, and this mess which was likely to stir me off and on will no longer remain active to disturb my peace of mind. I have learnt to avoid problems and if I do that, they will automatically vanish. Thus I am getting fully relieved of this feeling of hurt, after taking these three to four measures, which I have learnt from Sister Shivani and Brother Prof. EV Swami Nathan. I hope after I have analyzed it, its taste will turn from bitter to sour and then to sweet, and I shall feel unconcerned. Likewise it would be better if we may think of rejections and successes by remaining undisturbed, because such things are likely to happen in life and if we take them seriously, we are sure to lose our calm and it will become difficult, though not impossible, to rectify things when they accumulate on the hard disk of our mind.
I presume that there is some possibility that I am getting attached to it, which is also against the tenets of spirituality; so with my sincere efforts I must push this hurt in abeyance, hoping it to be get lost automatically. I have decided not to feel discouraged with this heart-breaking shock, with which I don�t want to confront and will not look at it as a problem. I can deal with it only if remain calm because with disturbed mind I can�t find the solution. I am also aware that my confrontation will make the problem bigger and to grapple with it much labour would be required. Presently I must think that this thing has occurred to give me relief and with the change in situation, whatever has been done and is being done by Shiv Baba is to make a change in my belief system. Sister Shivani has shown me the way to Paramdham, the place of my soul father, and after reaching there I shall politely ask Him for the empowerment of energy to tackle such situations with effortlessness.
I am fully aware that I have created this problem myself and I am the only one to solve it. This is a challenge and I have to create the response, let it be sooner or later. After leaving it unattended I am sure it will evaporate. I have to acquire more knowledge about my father, which I have forgotten erroneously, and depleted much of the positive energy in my ignorance. The vaults of Brahmlok are full of the treasures of knowledge, and Shiv baba will gladly fulfill my desire and then there will not be any more problems to encounter, and I am likely to remain calm and peaceful. I shall not turn critical or judgmental because this attitude will create problems, but I will have to change my belief system to make me more responsible and to feel happy and fully empowered with energy. I shall feel content with not less than beatitude, and I am determined to get it by working honestly, and to cover the journey of my life smoothly and not erratically to play my part on the stage of this world. I will perform it majestically, without forgetting even a single word of my act. My role will be positive and I will not seek any assistance, mediation and motivation as I am expert in the creative art of thinking.
