On Judgment of Others
Watch how your mind judges. Judgment comes, in part, out of your own
fear. You judge other people because you’re not comfortable in your own
being. By judging, you find out where you stand in relation to other
people. The judging mind is very divisive. It separates. Separation
closes your heart. If you close your heart to someone, you are
perpetuating your suffering and theirs. Shifting out of judgment means
learning to appreciate your predicament and their predicament with an
open heart instead of judging. Then you can allow yourself and others to
just be, without separation.
The only game in town is the game of
being, which includes both highs and lows. Every time you push
something away, it remains there. The pile under the rug gets very big.
Your lows turn out to be more interesting than your highs because they
are showing you where you’re not, where you have work to do.
You just say, “Thank you for teaching.” You don’t have to judge another being. You just have to work on yourself.
When
somebody provokes your anger, the only reason you get angry is because
you’re holding on to how you think something is supposed to be. You’re
denying how it is. Then you see it’s the expectations of your own mind
that are creating your own hell. When you get frustrated because
something isn’t the way you thought it would be, examine the way you
thought, not just the thing that frustrates you. You’ll see that a lot
of your emotional suffering is created by your models of how you think
the universe should be and your inability to allow it to be as it is.
- Ram Dass
The world is very beautiful and wonderful.
Life can be very easy when love is your way of life.
You may not have a reason to love but you can love because, to love makes you so happy.
Love in action produces happiness, gives you inner peace and it will change the perception of everything.
It is not what you say that matters. It is where you speak, from within yourself that counts.
It is not what you hear, it is where you listen from within yourself that gives meaning to the messages.
The energy of our thoughts, fueled by the energy of our emotions, fuel the energy of the words we speak, which results in the action we take.
Its time we all begin to see ourselves through our own eyes.
What do we actually want for ourselves??
Rediscovering and falling in love with ones own self is the most ecstatic journey in life.
Accepting who we are leads to a feeling of calmness, relief and happiness.
It becomes essential that we renew our relationship with our self every once in a while to understand our underlying needs, values, and motives that drive our actions and behaviors.
At times, our true self gets hidden in the labyrinth of societal values, religion and educational regions.
We tend to put a mask for pleasing others,in order to get along the crowd which makes us lost and isolated.
Oscar Wilde once said: Be yourself; everyone is already taken, seems to be the summation of truth.
Forgiving and acceptance are neither weak nor passive acts. They are acts of great courage.
When we first decide to forgive those who hurt us, your ego lets go of the memory, and you begin to see the actual truth.
People who hurt you are only hurting themselves. When you forgive them, you take your power back from them. You also release them from your ego and this is when the healing begins.
Don't be right, BE WISE.
Prayer changes you, not things.
You need to be specific while you pray. Ask and you shall be given.
Payer is the answer that causes you to change on the inside, which in turn governs how you erspond to what occurs outside of you.
Once we drop our internal demands, requirements, expectations, and judgements of how things and people should be, the way in which we view and interact with the world around me shifted.
We start looking for what we could love, rather than what we or someone else lacked.
