“Do not think that enlightenment is going to make you special, it’s not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I meet a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake ply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience. They wear their enlightenment on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They sit among friends and talk about how awake they are while sipping coffee at a cafe. The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it is going to make you less special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened the whole notion of enlightenment and someone who is enlightened is a big joke. I use the word enlightenment all the time; not to point you toward it but to point you beyond it. Do not get stuck in enlightenment.”
Making an effort to be connected to our inner peace is responsible behaviour.
I notice that some people are too quick to blame others for their unhappiness. It is irresponsible behaviour.
Marriage, parenting, home life is good training ground for each of us to work on ourselves.
while sharing my insights with them. I can see how together we matured and stabilized over a period of time.
We truly exercised our will power to put love and understanding above everything, to make space role by being the most emotionally responsible person in our family... putting "respect for the other" above everything.
I can see kindness is powerful tranformation tool. It inspires other people to want to change, to become better version of themselves.
💥manage aversion and resistence
Life taught me that as long as i resist my current situation, i will never be able to expand into "next level of possibility".
When there is growth, there is greater incentive for us to try and succeed.
I also went through many positive spirals, took on challenges that took me outside my comfort zone, and i managed to come out at the other end of the tunnel.
💥Will power and determination works only in certain times . It's scope is limited when it comes to working on our "inner world"..where the rules and laws are very opposite.💥
When we are going through negative spiral in life, it is easier to give up, hate life and others :-) than work on self to come to "state of neutrality" atleast.
However we can see the light only when we are willing to work on "acceptance" "gratitude" "self love" despite anything happening.
"The free soul is rare, but you know it
when you see it - basically because you feel
good, very good, when you are near or with
them."
🔥 compassion and kindness shows the way
Purpose of Darkness is for the mind to awaken to the silent soul within.
The love and compassion we show to others, we can forget to give it to ourselves.
