Awareness
If we could realize that surrendering to Ishwara and seeking his grace is the most beautiful feeling that remains through the day. Everything that each day brings, comes with his grace. Because everything is a lesson to work towards balance.
Anything that makes us happy
today can turn into sorrow tomorrow. Everything changes. Once we emerge out of
our dualities, we can see a third path which is THE PATH of ONE!
The oneness of all existence
consciousness bliss. This state of being has to be brought into our awareness.

Attachment
Attachment and peace are not compatible.
Because attachment is bondage . And souls are freedom seeking.
It stands to reason that as long as I
consider anything as "mine", I will always think of something as
"yours" , too. And the conflict of mine and yours takes away peace.
What IS mine ? Actually, nothing . Yes, I
am holding onto the illusion that all I have is mine. The children are mine.
The family is mine. The friends are mine. Etc. And then start the expectations
as well.
We are actually caretakers. Nothing and no
one belongs to us. The sooner we know this, the better life will be and the
more we can deal with life with wisdom and a fair amount of detachment.
If we don't detach with understanding, we
will have to suffer and ultimately, be compelled to detach. So, Looked at from
different angles , there IS no peace with attachment.

Charity
An action that is respected is that which
is performed with grace. Its value is enhanced manifold. As long as there is
life, give and take is an inevitable part of it. What is important is that
grace is not only in giving but also in taking. There are people who keep
giving but refuse to accept. That energy becomes one sided. There are also
people who give very condescendingly and from a space of ego driven
"charity". No grace there.
I know someone whose charities came to
light after he passed on, to the amazement of his own family. Today, we need to
advertise in the papers and media that we donated an x amount to an x charity.
No grace there.
Let the giving be between you and God and
treat specially those you give to , with utmost kindness and respect , almost
as if It is YOUR need to give and not theirs to take, because it is not easy
for everyone to accept while being made to feel small.
