Principles of life
We don’t have to worry about how others see
us. We do need to be aware of what we are doing with our understanding of life
and people. With a great deal of the pain involved in unlearning and relearning
the principles of life that work for us, we also learn to break stereotypes.
We try to create mathematical equations in
relationships and roles. But, they can’t be as precise as “if it’s Tuesday, it
must be Belgium”. The bonds must be felt from within. No more, no less is this
truth. Yes, there is pain when love and caring are not understood and not
reciprocated in the same way. But, the bottom line is to feel that bond and
retain it. Even if people don’t give you time, your love must be intact. Just
bless and let it go. If it comes back to you, it is a bonus. Otherwise, we are
alone anyway. How does it matter as long as we follow a path of goodness?

Spiritual path
To come to a balance in life takes a lot
... a huge lot. How many afflictions do we have to overcome! And how much wisdom we have to cultivate out
of very painful experiences. Who says life is easy? It is easier to take it as
easily as we are able to. But it is not easy.
If you embark on a spiritual path, you will
find many more thorns strewn in your path. The higher you aim for the more
painful your journey.
And then, you see some measure of balance
coming in slowly and sporadically. And you become stronger and more resilient.

External energy
Whatever or whoever WE give energy to be
bound to become powerful. It could be an episode, a person anything. It could
be just a thought that we might dwell on, especially a negative one or a
positive one even. Both take on energy of their own and often, the negatives
become a disturbing element in our lives.
For this reason, we are taught to give space
and keep to our own space a simple matter of keeping our energies intact. If we
are disturbed, for sure we have debilitated ourselves by transferring energy of
our own outside of us.
“Letting go” simply means sending the
negative energy back to where it belongs and regaining our strength. When we
hoard external energies through thoughts and emotions is when we create
imbalances within us. This awareness will help us to keep returning to equilibrium.
So, everything starts with us, and what
form it takes may sometimes, not be within our control. Like a raging forest
fire, it might destroy more than we ever bargained for.
