Humility

 

Never lose your grounding. Whatever your status in life, keep your feet on the ground and plea of mercy with eyes and heart towards heaven.

Actually, we ourselves get so led away by the illusory aspects of this world that we lose sight of our priorities, our values and our humility. This kind of slumber is dangerous. This lack of awareness can cause us abject spiritual

Poverty and grief in times to come. Awakening can be very, very difficult because we would have paid a very high price for the years we lay inert, thoughtless and careless.

Faith

 

When you reach a dead end in your mind, just leave everything to the Almighty! Knots will be removed with time. Faith is imperative! Whatever happens in our lives is chosen by us. So, to grumble and resist seems childish. Yes, we HAVE chalked out our agenda based on what we need to learn. But we don’t want some of what happens. We think we deserve better. When understanding dawns, we actually realize that we can move on to the better only once we have learnt from what happens and thus, change our energies to invite better things and better people in our lives. Let us not misunderstand this though and get happy. We need to reinvent ourselves each time we fall in our standards of ethics and morality, in failing to keep a spiritual awareness around us. And more… We can cram one book and give our exams. Or, we can refer to many books, understand the topic in-depth and then appear in the exams. There are no guesses as to which is better and progressive in its outcome. Life is like that. sometimes, a child handles life better because there is very quick recovery from any kind of so called adverse experience. The child does not hold on. And that is what we need to do. Adults reach dead ends either when there is ego activation or when there is a closure.

Tolerance

 

“Keep the doors open” and “don’t burn your bridges” are two very important aspects of human connectivity. Circumstances can change overnight and if our relationships are not intact, there will be no support system in times of crisis. Families were created for exactly this reason.

Tolerance for the good, bad and ugly circumstances in our lives is mandatory. However, that tolerance towards everything and everyone without reacting adversely is what will keep us going. Calm and patience , and the faith that things have to change with time and the wheels keep turning. Nothing is static!

We also, hopefully, will keep learning as we go along and contribute to external change by means of our internal change.

Nothing is impossible!

Perspectives

 

“All the five fingers are not alike” is a wonderful saying if we can consider its implications. But a fist is formed with all of them, despite the irregularity.

A family is just like that. The motley crowd of a family forms a fist uniting all the fingers. And it is said, a closed fist is worth lakhs. It is symbolic of united families where each one is different but together, they are awesome, even formidable.

But sadly! That is not true anymore.

We don’t look at the larger perspectives because the vision is lacking. We are very short sighted. We only look at what can fulfil our wants.

So, as a result, families are breaking up. No tolerance and little caring for each other.

And we keep adjusting to the new ways of distancing! Where is the choice? A clap also needs two hands.

Purity of Intention

 There comes a time when you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone. Being yourself is the best because it simplifies YOUR existence. And basically, you need to live to improve yourself.

So, improve and prove to yourself who you are or can be. If you need to explain yourself to others again and again , you will never become steady within your own space. You will be walking out of yours and into their space. This is not productive.

So, use purity of intention and thought before you act so, you don’t need to please anyone else. If people don’t understand you, that is normal. They are not expected to, from where they are standing. So, just move on.
