Most of us struggle with self-acceptance, always wanting to be somebody else other than who we are. In a world where we’re constantly bombarded with images of perfection, it’s easy to feel inadequate. We are taught to focus on our flaws, believing that we need to change to be liked by others, God, or even ourselves.
You falling ill doesn’t make you diseased. It’s the time to learn to detach our actions from our identity. If you make a mistake, it’s just a mistake, you are not a sinner.
You need to stop poisoning yourself. POISON OF SELF-CONDEMNATION When we condemn ourselves, we miss the chance to grow and mature. Ironically, the more we criticize ourselves, the more we reinforce the ingredients of criticism.
It’s important to remember that making a mistake doesn’t define who we are. Just because you fail at something doesn’t mean you are a failure. You falling ill doesn’t make you diseased.
It’s the time to learn to detach our actions from our identity. If you make a mistake, it’s just a mistake, you are not a sinner. DIVINE VISION TO SEE YOUR WORTH Stop focusing on your flaws and recognise that you are a unique creation of God, and in your creation, God showed his love for you and respected you.
God has not made you accidentally. You’re made with a certain destiny, potential, and glory. God chose you as the vehicle to travel through you.
You are the host; God is the guest. Considering yourself as a sinner condemns God’s beautiful creation. Many of us have become expert fault-finders, in ourselves and also in others.
We have to eliminate this damaging trait of condemning based on mistakes, religious beliefs, or other’s opinions. You are not born out of sin but a beautiful creation of God. You are worthy and loved by the existence, by the Creator.
Bringing this light into our lives generates compassion. LOVE IS NATURAL MEDITATION Love allows you to meditate in the real sense. Meditation is about being with yourself and celebrating your existence, Bathing in your own light and glory.
You are simply joyous of being. Only the one who likes himself can meditate. But you seek company because you are not enjoying your company.
You escape from yourself in every possible way through films, television, novels, games, etc. Who wants to go into one’s own mud, nobody wants to enter the darkness that they think they are. We are so ugly inside that we don’t want to face it.
Challenge the negative beliefs about yourself that you’ve internalised. View yourself through a lens of compassion. By respecting and honouring yourself, you open the door to meditation.
Embrace the light within you, and let it shine brightly in the world. Remember, you are a beautiful creation and always worthy of love. Courtesy: Rajyoga Meditation Centre, Kingston (meditation courses and counselling are offered free of charge).
