Spiritual awakening
The process of Spiritual
awakening can be very challenging. We think we will be illuminated and feel
light. This may well be, but much later in the journey for most people.
Its a tough process to start
letting go , watch the self minutely, examine the quality of each and every
thought , letting go of everything that doesn’t serve our spirituality .
Our worldly habits become like
extra skins on us which are very painful to
Peel off, though peel off we
absolutely must. And the more we do this, the more meaningless the artifice of
this world is revealed and the more isolated such a person can feel.
It is not possible even to
share this state with anyone because no one would understand. Some might leave
the path because it is arduous. But those who continue must be guided by an
inner light that can submerge any darkness on the way.

Environment
Today, we are riddled with double standards
wherever we turn. One set for us and another for others. Without any qualms!
“Do as you would like others do unto you”
could be a saying in Swahili for all that we know. It is a different world with
people courting completely new mindsets.
Complex minds and even dangerous minds, especially
if they are devoid of emotions and all the definitions have undergone a sea
change. There is really no choice but to accept them. And hope sensitivities
will be revived as a reaction to too much of a clinical approach to people,
reactions which could be given other tags, such as callous and unfeeling. A
legacy of a dominant and fragile ego perhaps and of a highly competitive
environment where gnawing desires and ambitions overlook the dying embers of
humaneness.

Exposure to experiences
Exposure to experiences is the only way to
learn. Observe, try and create convictions based on your reality. And avoid
shrinking your mind. Expand it and you will see how beautiful life can be.
If you close yourself up in a limited
space, how would you build connectivity around you? How would you know how
others are faring their pain, their disappointments and sorrows, their moments
of joy? How will you actually start counting your blessings when you see people
who are so much worse off than you but some of them, so much happier than you? How
will you understand the concept of accepting and valuing each and everything
you have? And valuing the people who care deeply?
An open heart creates an open mind and an
open mind can make you an extraordinary human being.

Love consistent
If you are able to return love for
indifference, you have made it in life. The most difficult thing to do strangers
doesn’t really come into this category. The hurt happens only when you face
indifference from those who matter to you.
The important thing to know is that, many a
time, the indifference you see may be a put on for concealing hurt. You may not
know this if you find an accomplished actor opposite you. But even if you miss
that, your policy of giving love consistently should make you peaceful and
content from your side.

Life is fragile
Taking life for granted! Yes, we do most of
the time. Only when we see death around us do we get a shock, though for a
while only. And then we are back to normal.
But we don’t realize that life is fragile
and we need to thank God every day for each day.
Every breath that we take is very valuable.
It is the elixir of life and must be treated with care. We tend to abuse it
through anger and many negative emotions.
Nothing and no one should be able to take
away the value of your life. Living it with happiness and a freedom to make
choices for your life is the way to go. Some things and some people will always
enter or go out of your life. Let it happen. Keep breathing in love, nature,
light and peace and bliss will be yours.

Repercussion
They say extra pure and sensitive souls are
loved by God. We also see such souls suffer in this world. Big time. These are
definitely old souls who have had many lives, some difficult ones. And those
who want to make their own way against what is ordained tend to struggle more.
If something really huge , like a curse,
follows you into this life, you can really spend your whole life where love and
success will elude you. Where people around you will oppose you. Where you
could wonder why this is happening ?
When something happens in repeated
patterns, you know apast life has followed you. Makes it a tad easier to
understand but not to experience. Because you take wrong decisions. You tend to
upset people. You could sometimes isolate yourself. ... and so on. The
repercussions and results are many.
Some agonised souls may switch off from the
world and simply exist. Others may become withdrawn or depressed. To make the
most of a life is a very different task for different people.

Human nature
It is human nature to dwell on hurt more
than happiness. Both words start with "H" but they are poles apart in
their emotional content and precisely because we can't find enough energy to
feel complete. "They" can only affect you if YOU let them, because
YOU don't understand that YOU give them power over you.
We find it very difficult to say
"no" in general. We compromise, get dragged and pulled and pushed on
account of playing different roles and for the sake of other people. This inevitably
goes against our grain and gradually, to resentment and a kind of anger which
snowballs into inadequacy and complexes. And the next thing you know is, you
start letting others upset you because are upset already. You start attracting
people who upset you and comments that throw you over the edge.
But for how long and more important and at
what cost? You can learn to say NO to hurt, to being hurt. For some, baiting is
a game they play to feel superior by getting that extra power from those who
are vulnerable. And the vulnerable get hurt instead of smiling it away, as
simple as that.
Say NO to hurt and people will not affect
you anymore.

Exhilarating feeling
You know what the greatest sense of freedom
is? When people actually stop affecting you! It is an exhilarating feeling. We
store and store and store all kinds of feelings based on all kinds of
reactions. And what we really end up doing is tying ourselves up in so many
knots...and we seethe and resent and god knows what!! Actually, the quality of
our life takes a dip.
Imagine then, if we just stop and take a
deep breath and just let go all that we are holding onto!! Wow! Instant freedom!
I can hear voices saying, "but it is not so easy". And I say, yes.
But it is not so difficult either if you make up your mind.
Stonewalling reactions should be taught
from school because we do it so spontaneously! Without thinking.
Once you stop letting yourself
get affected, you can smile your way through any situation. And it makes you
feel a sense of release and a sense of being in control of your life.

Wisdom
Adults
who have psychological issues need to look at their growing up years. Parenting
comes very hard to some parents. It is very common, especially in India for
family and friends to foist their expectations and opinions on each other.
Hardly
a year goes by for the newly married couple when people start wondering if
everything is alright in their marriage. Why? Because they haven't announced
that they are on their way to becoming parents. ..Children are therefore, often
the desired "objects" that make couples feel "normal". And of
course, if the "object" is a boy, then the parents hold exalted
images. But they may not have been ready for parenting, or wise for that matter.
As
a result, many children are mal nourished emotionally because the parents are
not mature themselves. And they grow up minus the wisdom that should accompany
the love, caring and attention. So, some children become lonely. Some become
recluses. Some become overburdened with expectations. Some become attention
seeking....and some try to draw attention though
anything sensational, even killing.
Parents
really have to be very careful about exercising wisdom in their own lives and
lives of their children.
