“A Guru is not an external or an intellectual phenomenon. He is an internal profound experience.” — @Sadguru Whispers
“Dear God, please continue to remind me that my happiness is solely dependent on my choice. You give me the gift of choosing my reaction at each moment in every situation. You allow me the freedom from misery. You’re a beautiful God. I love You. Thank You.” — Today’s prayer to God
Ever think that your intentions are pure and good? You think you’re out to better others’ lives, but actually what you’re doing is imposing your point of view. Your idea of happiness is not the same as mine.
I love peanut butter. You may be allergic to it. And if I kept trying to offer it to you as a grand gesture or a sweet one - I wouldn’t be doing you any good.
Similarly many of us feel that we’re doing things that will help others, but if we truly introspect, I can guarantee that many of these actions rise out of not compassion but ego-satisfaction.
Does this mean we stop volunteering? Giving? Loving? NO! Absolutely NOT. It simply means we remove our ego and become unconditional in all our actions and thoughts.
