Consequences

 I hear now they are busy researching how to add emotions to robots. That IS amusing. Know why? Because humans are not using their own hearts and emotions at all, but ironically, they are feeling a need for emotional exchanges. So they are replicating themselves. Strange!

It’s like keeping dogs and showering all your love there and holding back that love in conflict with human beings. So, giving is natural but the ego doesn’t allow human to human love the way animal lovers shower love unconditionally on their pets.

If a dog bites you, you will look at it with love, even reprimand it lovingly but take the anti-rabies willingly. God forbid if a “close” family / friend were to dare to advise you out of love, you would lose a relationship forever.

Fear of loss rules us and it is the one significant cause for the “sweet nothings” we shower irrespective of the way we feel. AND compromise what we hold very dear if we need those people.

I agree life is an adjustment but to what extent? To the extent that you lose yourself in the bargain? It is indeed a work of great courage to hold your principles and righteousness in place whatever the consequences.

Wisdom

 

“ What do we expect from life and from people ?” We can all go ballistic about what we expected and what we didn’t receive.  It is the worst cycle to get into. It is unending. When you are able to break this only will you be free for meaningful movement.


It is strange but a fact of experience that rewards are incidental. What we need to do is our karma , based on certain human principles which give us respect in our own eyes.


But, what we do is the opposite. Our karma is based on our feelings, our likes, our prejudices … when this happens, we deviate from our principles and pollute our karma. We become unsteady. Imbalanced !


The path of principled living should not be given up for anyone because it is your path of spiritual evolution. No one , however near and dear in this life, can walk it with you or even help you, except a benevolent and compassionate guru. Even your children are born through you but are not yours. Their souls are on a different journey.


Why then do we still use expectations as crutches and are unable to understand that for whatever good we do here , the points accumulate in the Divine Order ?

 

Act with good intention and faith and surrender the actions to the Almighty. Do you really think people understand where you are coming from ? Each one of us is too deep for anyone else to understand us. And when they don’t understand, they are bound to ascribe motives.

Meaningless ! It is more our ignorance that spurs us on, not our wisdom !

Dark and light

 

Dark and light is a natural process. Dark can be dispelled anytime if your inner light is accessible by you. Darkness can dominate only in the absence of light. And this happens when we don’t have the tools to access our own light. The opacity of a negative inner environment conceals the light and the opacity deprives access.

Dispelling darkness is the only choice . And the Lord said, “Let there be light”. And there was light.

The futility of understanding


The heart gets weary for sure, trying to understand people, their actions, situations, in fact, everything but oneself. Until one day, you don’t want to understand anything anymore. After all, all the whys can take you on the merry go round until vertigo strikes you. And by the time you feel you have understood somewhat, things change again.
The futility of understanding! Rocks your world knocks you down and you gain little! And suffer a lot! Yes, the heart does get very weary. That’s probably why people just live on the surface.

Consistency

That prayers bring results is really to be experienced because it is a fact. Genuine and pure intention is a brownie point in our favour. What we call genuine surrender just seems to bring a new hope, a new kind of calm and peace. These are not permanent though, and one requires a daily cleansing through prayer.
We are all past masters at desiring instant success in everything. But that’s not how it works. Consistency of purity and prayer cannot fail. What fails or falters is our faith.

Intelligent decision


The aftermath is an encounter with a person of toxic energy can be an extremely debilitating one. Even retaliating makes you feel you are hitting against the wall and often, bleeding.
The tragic part is that you discover that you are not devoid of toxicity yourself because you actually did pretty much what you despised in the first place. Evidently, it is somewhere within and bursts forth without warning triggered off by the other person.
Walking away from situations is probably an intelligent decision. Ignoring is another solution. Gritting your teeth and smiling is another but jokes apart, although it gets tough to not retaliate when someone is being plain obnoxious, it is wiser to step aside. And if you have a relapse, try and try again.
