Most of us get upset, annoyed, and irritated daily, but with whom? Perhaps with some person or persons or with yourself? But does it really give any solution? Does our health improve by venting out anger? Well! None of us would externally admit that getting angry drains out our energy and makes us emotionally, mentally, and physically weak.
However, deep within, all of us realise and accept that it’s a bad emotion. The reason for this is our wrong belief system and wrong thinking pattern. And, hence, one must always keep in mind that we are all on a journey of lifelong learning. Hence, learning to let go of ego, dishonesty, or superficial interaction with others is not a small thing.
There are many fears to be faced, and in this whole journey, the heart is often broken, disillusioned, and suffers pain. We try our best to cover these wounds with many attractive bandages, but eventually we need to remove them and begin the process of healing and becoming whole again. Just as a stable building is one that has a broad and deep foundation, we need to develop breadth and depth in the way we deal with situations and people.
Today, we see that the vices of greed have penetrated all the levels in society. With massive scandals happening on a daily basis, there has been a massive “trust deficit” in society, putting all of humanity in turmoil.
In such a scenario, how can one even think of experiencing inner power and inner peace? The only hope for humankind during this crisis lies in the almighty's wisdom and connectivity, by which we feel blessed, energetic, and secure.
For it is this divine wisdom that empowers us to have a clear vision of ourselves and our roles in this world drama. With trust and courage, if we take a step of determination, then we would surely receive the strength to shed the false accoutrements and make ourselves clean and free from dependencies. Just Remember! It is a small price to pay for the great gain of personal freedom, fulfilment, and independence.
