Divine way of life

 


Intimidating, bullying, or suppressing others due to one's position is not a divine way of life. A truly capable, efficient, dedicated, and enterprising person still shows humility and respects others, leading them to bow willingly. Our goal should not be to force anyone to bow down, but rather to perform our duties with capability and leave our ego behind. In doing so, we remain humble ourselves.

When we adopt this attitude, those who work under us will notice that even though we are highly capable and efficient, we approach them with care and respect. They may think to themselves, "Oh, this person is truly great; otherwise, we are nothing in comparison! They love and support us, keeping us close and never belittling us. How wonderful they are; they seem like an angel or a god in human form. We would even give our lives for them!"

Our lives should inspire others to work out of love rather than pride. We should strive to be worthy ourselves, work with our own hands, teach others how to do their jobs, assist them in their tasks, and then see if there is any need to exert authority or seek a higher position.

Suppose you are younger than someone in both age and position, but you excel in ability and performance. In that case, treating that senior person with affection and respect will often lead to them responding with humility. Even if they momentarily let their ego get the best of them and say something unfair, they will eventually realise, "This person is so capable, intelligent, and well-mannered. The way I spoke to them was wrong."

These experiences truly teach the virtue of humility.

Transcending Ego

Image
The ego associated with one's family lineage, caste, and nationality is rooted in body consciousness. From a spiritual perspective, the soul belongs to the family of God, the Supreme Soul. By this definition, all souls are brothers and sisters. The true nationality of all souls exists in Paramdham, Parlok, and Brahmalok, and their caste is incorporeal and in point form.   However, when individuals identify solely with their physical body, they may develop an ego stemming from their birth in a so-called "high-class" family, their origins from Rajasthan—known for its courageous Rajputs—or their caste identity as Thakur, among other identifiers. If one remembers their divine family as a point of light and embraces the peaceful world of Paramdham, alongside their soulful connections, they are less likely to cling to the egos tied to nationality, family, or caste. Likewise, considerations of money, status, fame, and position are all associated with the body. In the role of a l...

The power of silence - Union of relationships and values between souls

Image
Silence is a potent form of presence and listening. Silence allows partners to connect on a deeper, intuitive level. It creates a sacred space where the noise of the world and internal chatter quietens down.  The power of silence within relationships is profound, acting as a fertile ground where genuine values and deep connections can flourish. In these moments of quietude, empathy grows, allowing us to reflect deeply on our partner’s experiences and emotions. This shared silence encourages us to step into their shoes, allowing us to better understand and resonate with their feelings. As we become more attuned to their needs, we can modify our actions and habits, ensuring we create an environment where they feel cherished and understood. Silence also serves as an icebreaker; it is the language of the soul. It fosters connections where words may fail. A warm look in the eyes of a stranger or a simple, loving gesture can go a long way in making a positive first impression, often lead...
