The Beauty of Being Simple

Simplicity


 

A simple person is the same inside and outside – in intention, words, and mindset. He is not different in his thoughts and his outward behavior. He does not behave in a deceitful, crooked, or manipulative way. Because of this, people feel worry‑free around him and enjoy his honest, innocent, and sweet words.

If a simple person says something that others do not like, even then they do not get as angry with him as they would with someone who has deceived them, because they know that this person’s heart is clean. He has not said anything to put them down or to create danger for them; whatever he thought for their good, he has spoken simply and directly. Even if they feel upset with him for a while, soon their own mind tells them from within, “It is not right to be angry with such a person, nor is it right to speak badly to him.” Thus, they quickly and naturally form bonds of affection with him, because his simplicity, truthfulness, clarity of mind, and innocence attract them.

Just as people feel satisfied with a person of simple behavior, in the same way, a simple person also remains content within himself. Even if he feels a little inner dissatisfaction due to some situation, after just a few words of guidance he becomes peaceful again very quickly, because of his simple nature.

A person with a crooked nature, on the other hand, keeps searching for hidden meanings in others’ words.

 

Even when something is said with good feelings and for his benefit, he only checks whether there is some deceit or lie hidden in it. In this way, he does not accept anything said about him in a pure and straightforward way, even after hearing it from many people many times. As a result, he does not experience quick transformation in his lifestyle and sanskars (inner tendencies).

Due to the clean heart of a simple person, he is able to imbibe other divine virtues very quickly. But a cunning and overly clever person does not imbibe divine virtues easily, because his mind is always busy in some confusion. He sometimes thinks, “That person did not behave nicely with me in the past. How can he behave nicely with me now? Till now he has not been good; he does not seem likely to change in the future!”

A simple person, however, remains absorbed in inner joy and thinks, “Whatever someone does, he will receive accordingly.” He does not leave his integrity under any circumstance.


 

According to the saying, “The master is pleased with the truthful; he receives help from God.” Thus, with the help of the true God (the Supreme Soul, Shiv Baba), by not holding pain or ill‑feeling for anyone, by remaining free from confusion, and by not bringing others’ past behavior or current nature into his mind, a simple person stays happy and content.


 


As a result, due to his straightforward nature, his truthfulness, and his clear mind, other people also bless him and love him. Therefore, a simple person always remains happy and content within himself.

Other people trust a simple person…

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...
