Law of Acceptance

. Friday, November 28, 2014

Trusting is a fundamental part of acceptance. Many of us have a hard time trusting, possibly because of a deep rooted false belief that life must be hard, or that we don’t deserve the very best that life has to offer. We think it can’t be this easy. But trusting is a part of our Spiritual growth and by affirming Divine Order whenever we seem fearful or stressed, we stay in the positive flow and see how the very best happens. Hindsight often proves this to us.

We start looking at life as challenges for us to grow into the best people we can be, not just problems to be solved. When things are going in a different way than what you have originally planned, when you get delayed or plans get changed, or even when that car in front of you is moving slower than you would like, say to yourself or affirm out loud, “Divine Order, I know this is happening for my best.”

Relax and accept the situation exactly as it is. This puts you right back into your center of peace and serenity. With practice this gets easier and easier and you trust the process more and more. The great thing that is learned is that you do not have to give up your peace, no matter what is going on around you.

As you fully accept what is happening around you, you stay out of any fearful emotions, and can act, not react to the situation. You feel more empowered in the process, not angry at yourself for giving your serenity away. It has been wisely said, our serenity is in direct proportion to our acceptance of life. We can learn to let go of our fear based thoughts, trust the Universal flow of life and enjoy the journey even more along the way. Practice acceptance and things will be better.

The shit called Caste in India

. Sunday, November 9, 2014

Since time immemorial the world has been divided into different classes and categories, some depending on the birth right, wealth,knowledge and others purely by sense of belongingness. Thus society as a whole has always been on its way of division and its everywhere its absence is inevitable. The worst of all that happens here is when this difference causes the rift in between people who love each other in the form of inter caste marriage when both the parties families are neck on neck against it.

Life in itself is not much of a problem enough that even to be with the one we love and vow to spend the rest of our life is in it at the threshold. It is one of the hottest topics for every generation whether it is the classic Romeo and Juliet or even the next door neighbor. Despite the fact that numerous facts and figures have come and gone with time but the one and only constant thing which is never changing and remains till this day is inter caste marriage problems the much talk about of every nation and caste. Though we have had done so many development in science and technology; even we have been able to send men to the moon, brought up equality and freedom with education to one and all. Brought out the women from being the housewives to working mothers, yet this centuries old tag of issues regarding two different culture, caste or even faith has never been erased by the knowledge gained at expensive colleges or even by the high rise in the standard of livelihood.

Love is a beautiful feeling and true love is the greatest gift to mankind. In this fast advancing world where everyone has their own differences and individualism, it is very hard to get someone to accept us the way we are not for what others think or how the world looks at us. It is a thing to cherish and kept.

I just hope someday people get beyond the logics of caste and religion and accept humans for what  they are and what they do.
