Pleasant

 It doesn’t matter! This is for those who live on past memories, good, bad and ugly. Can you hold a bubble in your hand permanently? Obviously not! Past memories are like bubbles, experienced and gone!

We label them based on our likes, dislikes and prejudices. But the fact is , we harbor them. We compare the good ones with the bad ones and feel sorry for ourselves while visiting the ones we have not found to be pleasant.

So, what is the core issues here? Just that we have not moved on. We haven’t been able to let go.

So, who has invited unnecessary suffering? No one else. Only WE do this to ourselves. It is a little like getting angry towards an episode outside on the street when it has nothing to do with us.

Think about it?!

Experience

 

Today, I am This. My experiences from all lives , some of which are experienced in this life, are sacrosanct, good or bad , as both teach me lessons if I know how to learn the lessons inherent in them.

This minute, I can connect with my consciousness to understand where I am not thinking right. The past, the thoughts , the reminder of the unpleasant are all leeches which one has to pluck out and throw away, however painful the process might be for the body and the mind. Is there anyone who can like the leeches gripping you for ever ? No.

But we do have the others in leech form that are painful and agonising but we seem to revel in our pain. Very difficult to understand ! Still more difficult when they come from outside . Not that self inflicted pain is more reasonable ! Every pain is a choice and has a solution.

There is just not enough understanding and therefore, error in prioritising. It is like sitting down and waiting for the lion coming after you, to swallow you.

When “I” identifies with “me”, we are weakened by that ego which can be very destructive if we don’t watch out.

So , we need to use the power of NOW to get wise.

Consideration

 

If we stop thinking of ourselves for a minute, we would be able to focus on one of our major responsibilities, that is, consideration for others. Right from the time we are born till the end of life, we have to live amongst people. We cannot absolve ourselves from the duties towards others. This attitude itself is an aspect of consideration, of extending the package of kindness and of understanding the needs of others.

Consideration is a highly reciprocal quality. It gives happiness and a sense of well being to both people, the one who shows it and the one who receives it and gives it back, so starting a chain which is deeply emotional and binding.

The true essence of being human is experienced when you recognize that the world is a mirror, and for you to see it smile, you have to smile into it first.
