" - we so often make the fatal mistake of identifying with our confusion, then using it to judge and condemn ourselves which feeds the lack of self-love so many of us suffer from today... - how encouraging it can be to accept that from one's perspective we all have hugh problems, which we bring to the spiritual path and which indeed may have led us to the teachings ... - and yet to know from another point of view that ultimately our problems are not so real or so solid or so insurmountable as we have told ourselves ..." - Rigpa glimpse
With this in our mind for comtemplation, one may also include that "the eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend" - Henri Bergson and that in order to bring about change, " you must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
One cannot look to the outside to attain or experience the true meaning of love. The true gift of spirit lies within waiting to be expressed. As written in Tirukkural 22: 213-214 .... " Of all duties, benevolence is unequaled in this world and even in celestial realms. He who understands his duty to society truly lives. All others shall be counted among the dead ..."
May we open our hearts to the true nature of our spirit in order to receive all of the riches that have been bestowed graciously. Must we always remember that the path of transformation with its moments of pain and confusions are opportunities for movement into the higher realms of soul understanding... finally, to know that with every cross that has been beared, there is an inherent responsibility (without infliction) to share the gifts of wisdom, once revealed, to those whom seek the greater truths of the universe .... with love and blessings - apachebluemoon
