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.
