Trust

Trust is a quality either you have or don't have. It cannot be a half measure or faked. But it is fragile and has to be reinforced in a lot of cases. It takes a long time to build up and just a moment to break.
Relationships are completely dependent on this one major ingredient. Goodness is the starting point in inspiring trust. Any deviation or oscillation does often end a beautiful relationship.
Human wants lead of a breach of trust, mainly for short term gains. Such a pity, especially when you reap the joy inherent in a relationship of trust. It is really awesome. Of course, there are rules that keep it going.

The more we trust a person, the more sacred the bond becomes.

Time tested trust transforms into faith and then there is no looking back. Because faith has no opposite. Just like bliss has no opposite.

Spiritual

There are many types of people in this world. And that is why life is so interesting and inspiring. Some become role models because they have qualities worth emulating. We look up to them and they inspire us. Some make us wonder what makes them tick and we don't necessarily want to emulate them. 

However, we do understand that there is something good in everyone. Distortions are a part of each one of us. Life's purpose is to get over them and feel clean. To cleanse and to purify our thoughts. 

Spiritual is who we are when the distortions are cleared.

Quote of the Day


Journey

When we see that people are at different levels in their journey and the challenges they must face in their journey just as we have and are facing, then it becomes not only necessary but mandatory to give them the same benefits of doubt that we constantly give ourselves…and not judge them.
But we don't. We invariably have one standard for ourselves and another for the others. Sometimes, we have multiple standards for ourselves.
I was given a ritual once where I had to offer only the complete grain of rice to God. So, I had to weed out all the broken rice. But that does not mean that I threw away the broken rice. That can be used to feed many mouths. So, it is really amazing that we humans cannot fathom. These things with the levels of heart and brain we possess. 
There is nothing useless in Creation. And while everything seems like it is disconnected, it is all meticulously connected. It is only that each one is bound by a cycle of progression, the pace of which is different. So, the obstacle race is somewhat replicated in the cycle of life as well.

Purifying

We have several layers of negativity piled up within us, stemming from the many lives we have lived plus the current one. To cleanse these, we have to be aware first. Then we need to have the intention to cleanse. It is not easy to do self surgery. You have to bare your soul to yourself. And that is a very painful process.

It can take many lifetimes if you have not reached that point.

To work with angels (the 72 layers of consciousness and distortions within us) is a beautiful way to begin the cleansing process. ...provided we do it with faith and consistency. Generally, people do not have enough patience to see this process through. Or any process for that matter.

I don't think I can ever overstate the importance of cleansing and purifying to arrive at a point where universal love becomes a way of life.
