WHO ARE YOU?

 

“What has gained mastery over you has gained mastery over your peace” – mahatria Ra

 It is human nature to love appreciation and appear good in front of the world. This is how we are in our childhood. There have been so many naughty moments in my life. Doing some mischief and then walking away as if I did nothing, with a straight face. Somehow, in childhood, it gave a kick. Were we not one person at home and another outside? We behaved so well in front of relatives and friends, though at home, we siblings fought tooth and nail with each other and back answered my mother. Very notorious at home, but very soft spoken amidst other people.

 As you grow older these pretenses fade away for some, whereas, some build a wall around themselves. They are very private people and will not allow anyone to peep into their personal life. I was more of an open person who did not think twice before speaking. That was my folly too because I made some daring comments. Today I wonder how I could make such blunt statements and get away with it. Absolutely immature, but happy that I was not manipulative. I was a brutally frank person who was not very sensitive to the feelings of others.

 I have come a long way and mellowed down a lot. In the current maturity, I don’t find the need to prove myself to anyone. I know who I am and I don’t have to convince the world, rather live my life aligned to the truth of life. I need to be spiritually aligned, which is a constant striving in me. I need to be more loving, do everything out of joy and happiness, preserve my integrity, be a selfless person, achieve emotional equanimity, be peaceful and radiate it in the world around, develop a grateful heart, magnetize holistic abundance into my life, perpetuate goodness, be useful to the world, and all of it that would enable me to live a holistic life.

 “Who you are when nobody is watching you is your character”-mahatria Ra

  Today, putting the world ahead of me, choosing what is right, devoting my life for a Cause, operating out of love and happiness, counting my blessings, taking care of my body, having a daily appointment with the divine, seeing my work as a prayer unto Him, not losing my peace, staying calm, having a strong faith in Him, strong leadership, all of these come naturally to me, without any effort. I don’t have an iota of doubt that the new me is a product of the spiritual connect. It is not enough that we gain a lot of insights from the teachings of our guru. Living by those teachings is what brings about that Transformation.

 The first stage is, we are not aware of our shortcomings. It is the stage of unconscious incompetence. Then we learn to consciously practice the teachings with a lot of effort. A state of conscious incompetence. Then we start practicing regularly. That is the third stage of conscious competence. Then we reach a stage where all this becomes a part of our life. We do it effortlessly. The stage of unconscious competence. It is at this stage that all these qualities merge into you and becomes your persona. A lot of internal shift happens within you. This is a very beautiful state to be in. I would love each one of you to experience this state of inner bliss. Wake up to the exciting possibilities in your life.
