Realization

I have realized how many little things we take for granted. Is there a guarantee we will wake up the next morning? Do we know for sure that our day is going to unfold as planned? Are we sure that the domestic staff will turn up tomorrow? Is it possible that you have an urgent meeting and the vehicle stops half way? To mention just a few.
Gratitude, therefore, is most important. The person who cleans your restrooms and your home. The one who drives your car, cooks your food. A friend who sits up with you when you are sick. Anyone passing you on the road who smiles at you or saves you from a near accident. Or blesses you without even knowing you....
The bottom line is, NO ONE HAS TO DO ANYTHING FOR YOU...and if they do it, regardless of their motives, we have to thank them as messengers of God. The universe works relentlessly and lovingly. We need to understand the significance and read the language minute to minute.

Perfect

No one is perfect. All that we can do is try to work towards getting better by the minute. It is not about how much we hurt. It is about how much we can heal that hurt...and better still, how we can avoid getting hurt. With the right understanding.
The more we identify with our body, our thoughts, emotions, the less we are aware that we are far beyond these.
So, it is first about knowing who we are not. Where is the hurt registering? Who is feeling that hurt? Why the hurt at all? We don't dwell on these important questions. If we did, we would come to some understanding about ourselves. The confusions in our lives are very much connected here.
The basic fact is that we get involved in the emotions of the characters we play in the drama of life. And we forget that we are only playing a character. We take everyone and everything too seriously, getting caught in the illusory web of permanence.
Do we know that there is a little watchman within us called "Drashta" that watches every thought, every emotion, every action and reaction. And this drashta wants us to become an observer with it, to help understand all of these matters of our spiritual reality. A reality which can't be perceived while we are in it, with all the burden of baggage that we carry.
Let us be free from all that. Let us not worry about being perfect. Let us just try to be better humans and better spirits. The rest will follow...

Density

Would we appreciate light if there was no darkness? How would we see the good in someone if there was no bad in this world? We live in the world of opposites so that we can make a move towards the right choices for our soul.
                   
It is all about our vibration levels. Humans function at different levels of energy. Density gives more body consciousness and less of subtle awareness. But unless we learn from the Universe what it teaches us every minute, we will not be able to take significant steps towards understanding the realm of the unseen phenomena.

The idea is not to expand our external worlds but to discover our inner world in its micro form. Once this is accomplished, the understanding of the macro world will be automatic. Because they are the same.
