Once upon a time there were two friends who lived in Arabia. Their friendship was thick and exemplary. One of them was named Tabaa and he was a rich merchant. The second friend’s name was Tubee and he was poor laborer.
Tubee toiled very hard everyday to make his both ends meet and lived in a small shack. One day the merchant got a big order and he planned to go away for a couple of years to deliver the big order.
So they had a farewell party and celebrations before they parted. At the party, they drank lots of alcohol and dined in luxury at Tabaa’s house. But before they could say their good bye’s and part their ways, the alcohol had its effect on the poor Tubee and he went off to sleep in Tabaa’s house. The merchant had to embark on his long journey the next morning.
So he tied an expensive GEM into Tubee’s robe as a parting gift and went away on his errand. Next morning when Tubee got up from his slumber he looked around for his friend and not finding him anywhere went to work on the streets as usual. Many years went by, and Tubee worked very hard on the streets to make a bare living.
After 15 years, Tabaa, the merchant returns and wanted to know how his friend Tubee was doing. So he looked around and searched for him. After many days of hide and seek he came across an old man who had aged very fast and resembled his friend Tubee. They hugged and hugged and cried for each other.
Tubee had turned into a beggar but fortunately had the same old robe on him. Tabaa was very angry at his friend and asked him, why he was begging, especially when he had a very valuable GEM still tied into his robe.
The beggar was astonished at this discovery and cursed himself and his fate for his sorry and pitiable state his was in because of his ignorance.
A “VALUABLE GEM” is given to everyone by nature on this planet.
It is Reiki, the natural way of HEALING ourselves. We are not even aware of it, just like the beggar Tubee. We are still waiting for our friend Tabaa to come over to us and tell us about the GEM, the hidden treasure. We have not yet discovered it for ourselves.
We continue to “BEG” in spite of possession of the valuable GEM. We paradoxically beg the quack doctors to heal us. We beg them to give us poisonous medicines to heal us.
No! No! Not to heal us, but to kill us.
Personally, I am very fortunate to have discovered my valuable gem inside myself.
Now I am polishing it so that it can shine with its full brilliance for the benefit of the people around me. Two days course of Reiki I channel is equivalent to 10 years of hard penance by a yogi in the mountains or forests.
