Treating a Treatment

“Mai aajkal, 'treatment' le raha hoon”... was the reply, which required a little time for me to get a 'grasp' of what they are actually implying...

'Kya haal-chaal-hai?' would have been a safer question.. because, it evokes a 'habit-driven' reply, not a conscious one.. and they say... 'chal-raha-hai' (when the going is not so good..), or that 'Changay haal hai/theek-thaak-hai' (when it is 'normal'..! Very few find life to be so-exciting, to say.. 'Jeevan ek vi-chitra-anubhav hai' (life is a deep experience beyond 'picturisation' etc..)...

That 'treatment' was some kind of an 'outsourcing' , when the 'treatment' meted out to them by nature was intolerably-uncomfortable; they look at it as 'nature is ill-treating-me'.. (not withstanding what I do.. to the gift of this amazing machine, the human body, that nature has gifted to me!)... and they are unable to handle this 'ill-treatment' all by themselves... Now, the vaidya/daaktar... is allowed to do his 'treatment' with this-body-of-mine... My job is to 'present' myself before him, and say, 'I am unwell'... (The doctor knows.. he has to 'ask' a variety of questions, to get to the 'real-feel' within... when singular queries would yield only 'mind-feel' from his patient, who has turned impatient by now, with a chronic-ailment... !)...

...

So, it was not a complete surprise, when I saw a question which dealt about 'treatment' by others, and it felt to the mind to be 'unjust'.. (a typical case of 'justice handed over into inept hands?'... dunno!)

Usually, if we look at the 'west' ... the statistics seem to suggest ( I heard that every 4th doctor-consultant is a psychiatrist, and charges by hours.. in dallars!), seem to suggest that... people are more concerned about 'ill-treatment' to their mind, than to their physical body itself! Maybe, the 'freedom-culture' doesn't give too many details about how to 'ensure a mind's freedom' while, our reverential kind of culture , never even looks at that mind's freedom, when it decides to surrender it too often! (But yes, the present day problems are usually , when we surrender to our politicians, who, due to their acts of 'omission & commission' steer the whole nation, whole society, towards a restlessness-of-mind.. we are still fairly unmoved by 'living conditions' while we react to 'disturbed mind'... people who manage to put their mind into wakeful-sleep, manage to remain stoic to 'all kinds of living conditions'.. .. and hence remain 'indifferent' to whole-sale-corruption of such great magnitude.. Waking them up requires a unique skill!)...

...

So, the question was ... how to deal with the 'residue' of an 'unjust-treatment'!

I liked it!

(Like in that English movie, 'Independence Day'... a virus uploaded, gives a few moments of time, for our hero to penetrate that defenseless-computer-driven-shield, and make a dent into the alien spacecraft... Somebody becomes a little-more-receptive, when an unjust-treatment or rather the residual effect of it... renders them 'defenseless' for a while!)...

Question:

How can I get over being treated unjustly?

My answer:

Nice question.. ("How can I get rid of this anger and hurt, and get on with my life???")
Is it possible to compel people (others), to be very fair to everybody around?
We only try to be fair, when we see that we need the 'respect of others' and popularity of being 'normally a fair person towards others'... Very few are equanimous, even if there is nobody to judge them, in turn!
When we are already under some sort of social compulsion, we find it also-fair to impose an expectation out of others to be also-fair-towards us!
Others, a few of them, might be taking that risk, and it turns unfavorable to us...
If we can reconcile to this limitation of ours, regarding the power to compel others (whether due to lack of rules, or due to other reasons)... we 'accept' that situation outside of us, was and never will be, in our control... It releases us from such 'unreasonable-expectations'.. the anger would dissolve! (We are not exactly 'angry' when a mosquito/snake/dog bites us... we get annoyed at the most... if we are a bit sensible, we try to be more alert about it, or take good-precautions! Here also, we take precautions, and if possible help future students from being treated in an unfair manner!).

(Having answered thus... I was amused to look at the 'treatment' meted out by a spiritual guide, to a disciple... when, the luxury of 'having the trust into that teacher' gets an 'ill-treatment' too often! When there is nothing left to hang on to.... the disciple feels a 'let-go' to be the only available option... and then, the surrender happens 'all-by-itself'... and ... no further 'treatment' is 'ever-required'!!! Bass... 'treat-hi-treat' hai...! Like, we demand a 'treat' from a friend who achieves some distinction in life... here the experience of 'distinctness' is itself a big 'treat'... obviating any 'treatment of any kind' whatsoever!)...

A treat (perhaps, or hopefully), yours
