It is amazing how limited and
clouded a mind we walk around with. The more comfort there is around us, the
less we are inclined to notice that clouded aspect of us.
How do we live with this heavy
burden of our feelings of likes / dislikes, our jealousies and hatreds, our
desire to wound people we dislike and at the same time, craving to be loved by everyone? Does this also become a part of our comfort
levels where we revel in such activities and derive a vicarious pleasure?
Because the two are so contradictory and, impossible if I may say so.
The clouds that cover our mind
will not let clarity enter. In the absence of clarity, we are unable to look
through the opacity of those clouds and into our real selves.
That’s why we must avoid thoughts
and emotions which are not crystal clear and pure. For this to happen, we need
to love and respect ourselves first.
Self-respect should prevent any
action by us that makes us fall in our own self estimation and from the grace
within us if we have not forgotten the truth of who we are.
When people look at our goodness
and righteousness, they also respect us because such people are rare and
therefore, respect worthy. Why then
would we stoop down to levels where we don’t respect ourselves?
Maybe, we have had to struggle.
Maybe, we have had to let go of memories of hurt, betrayal and more. But in all
of this, if we have been able to stand upright as tall as the tree that faced
several storms, our value as a human being would multiply manifold. To
ourselves and to others.
And that is where we need to be
to access the divine frequency.
