Whenever we judge people, we are indirectly
telling ourselves that we are better than them. The truth is, if your mind is
open and your intention is learning and growing, evolving to higher levels, you
will find you can learn something from everyone.
But when the mind is not clear, we choose
that we won't mind learning from someone we like but not from someone we
dislike. We grudge the latter their wisdom, their maturity. Very childish on
our part. Because ultimately, WE lose out, not them. Like cutting our nose to
spite our face kind of situation.
The problems in the world today arise
somewhat from such polluted attitudes. We forget that we are travelling in a
moving train where we will have to get off one day. We forget that the actual
day of judgment is not when our ego judges someone but when WE are judged after
our life.
I am amazed at what I see each day. You
start with a shock, and then shock after shock at the way humans behave with
each other and often due to small or not so small misunderstandings. Sometimes,
rigidities. Often due to insecurities. Or, sometimes, it is just a huge ego and
so on, until one day, it results in shock no more.
THAT is the day when your journey of
detachment begins. The sooner , the better because attachment can make you so
vulnerable that it has the power to kill, at least to make you physically very
ill.
Dying of heartbreak and hurt is not
something you want to do. So, let every experience make you mentally and
spiritually stronger every day. As they say, you can either swim or sink.
This is for all those people who love too
much and unconditionally. If you do, do it as an act of God. And practice this:
"Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do", cleanse your
mind and move on. No one is going to be with you all the time. A gentle reminder!
Your journey is alone, my friends.
