The power of a thread

We were with our friends when they visited a pujari. It was an auspicious day and the pujari tied sacred thread on their wrists. We got the threads tied on our wrists too. Being sensitive to the vibrations, I was not very comfortable with the thread on my wrist. At the same time I didn’t want to remove it as long as we were with the friends. When we took leave of them, I promptly removed it from my hand.

If I was my older self, I would have asked my husband also to remove the thread from his hand, but I have traveled a long way in my spiritual journey. Some things are better learned by self experience

After four months, we had to attend another puja ceremony. My husband wanted me to remove the old thread from his wrist before attending the puja and I cut it off. Next day morning, he remarked that all these days when the thread was on his hand, his sleep was disturbed. He used to get weird dreams, and used to remember them in detail. Four days later again he told me that it was good the thread was removed.

Even a thread from one person can carry vibrations that may or may not suit another person. So it is important to be careful while using another person’s things.
