Actions have Consequences - Don't they?
As human beings we all behave in varying manners when reacting to situations. Some people react positively and some in a contrary manner. Why does this happen? All of us come with baggage from our past births – this baggage is stuck in our subconscious and we are not even aware of this. Certain reactions to situations are because of this hidden baggage – and we have no clue as to why we reacted in this manner.
Every action we take
has consequences both for us as well as for those who are part of the given
situation. If you observe the current global scenario, we have very responsible
people in posts of power and responsibility indulging in semantics to avoid
taking responsibility for their actions! Have you noticed this? Misinformation,
disinformation, white lies, grey lies – humans have come up with various terms
to shirk responsibility and misinform people – news is no longer news – it is
just a marketing tool to get across a certain viewpoint – fact and fiction have
somehow got merged! And the ordinary person is left mystified by all this. All
this is now a part and parcel of the game of avoiding responsibility for the
consequences that arise from one’s actions!
If we stop taking
responsibility for our actions and the consequences that follow, believe me we are
heading for a disaster. We need to recognise the problem and act to correct the
course we are taking. One way to course correct is meditation – one can start
meditating in the proximity of a realised master, have the seed of
self-realisation planted within, and then start introspecting on various
aspects of life. Once you start doing that the picture starts becoming clear –
the haze, the fog starts evaporating as the inner light starts burning brighter
and brighter.
With the lighting of
the inner lamp, one always starts taking responsibility for one’s actions. The
awakened soul will never let you act in an irresponsible or arbitrary manner. You
yourself will notice the change within you and you will smile – the smile of
inner joy and bliss – as you realise that your course correction has taken
place. Meditate and light your inner lamp – be the source of light to all those
around you – awaken them too by guiding them to the electrician who connects you
to the powerhouse!
