You are Strong, know yourself and manifest your nature

At times, during the course of his day-to-day life, one may feel embarrassed or ashamed of some of his own behaviour, committed most unknowingly or unintentionally. These are apparently totally trivial in nature. Still the conscience does not approve them. For that one must bring in repentance and ask God to forgive him. He will surely forgive.

But there are times when one is wrongfully penalized and insulted, or humiliated and victimized by others. Then he gets morally injured. This may dampen the spirit and make him look down upon himself. He may not be half as guilty as he may think. At such times one finds him at a loss as to how to reinstate his spirit and reintegrate him with dignity and respect. Days, months, or even years may go by before he can get hold of himself.

At such times one must first try to forgive them who have driven him into this mental state. Once he can do this, he will start feeling better. What God says is that "Vengeance is mine. Never take it upon yourself." Though it is difficult, one has to do to it. No personal confrontation, please.

Next, one must try to think about his past life that he has passed by with honour and dignity. If his experience of existentialism has been very good and nice, it can continue to remain so for years to come. No one can change it. There is also no need to change it because of the mishap. None can persuade a person to give up his faith or belief. To get strong one must heighten his perspective and recall his moral and ethical values. One must be firm in his belief that no one has the right to judge him by his own standards and values. Except love, there is no way by which anyone can bind the other down to his own ideas. In this world the Almighty has assigned everybody a place most generously.

If the other person has limitations in his thought process, he has every right to remain there. One must never judge him or despise him in spite of the injury or humiliation he has inflicted upon. If someone looks down upon another with contempt or aversion, that is his limitation, not the person's who is looked down upon. Let the other person stay within his limits. He may not be so interested in knowing the ultimate truth.

One must remain calm and positive and just think about the reasons by which he is still carrying on with life. This will lift his spirit and reinstate his pride. One must never bind himself down to others limitations. One may feel afraid of more criticism, of being ostracized. One must get rid of all these by knowing oneself as an integral part of that Universal One. One must never feel shaky to face them who have humiliated or injured him. He must remain firm in his belief and strength will come from within.

One must look for the ultimate truth that lies ahead. If one looks for it, he will surely find it. Once the highest truth, which is manifestation of ones' own true nature, is realized, his spirituality will attain new heights. No one will then be able to humiliate, harm or injure him.

All truth are universal and for all. One must absorb them within him and feel supreme, and one day he will be able to worship himself.
