Who We Really Are!

 

Who We Really Are!

How many of us know who we really are? Do we recognise the good and the bad within us? Are we able to make out the difference between what is ‘good’ and what is ‘bad’? There are several such questions which come to mind and for which we need to seek the answers ourselves.

Everybody has got both the good and bad senses equally within themselves – the question is which aspect does one give wind to? If one decides to sit on the boat to a fast life – quick money, quick success, etc. then most likely you will end up taking shortcuts in life. The hurry to reach success invariably sets a person out on the path of doing things which are not considered ‘right’ or ‘good’ in society. In the short run you do find success, but in the long run you end up paying a heavy price in the form of ill health, legal cases, jail even if convicted. Invariably ill-gotten wealth and success come with a very heavy price tag.

If one decides to sit on the boat to a steady and honest life then invariably you will find yourself struggling initially, but that is the foundation on which a very sturdy building is built. Invariably such people find that their success lasts long, they make a name for themselves and when such people move on, they are remembered for the good they did in life.

Some of us realise that we are seekers for the truth since an early age and some of us get the realisation later in life. But all those seekers who meditate regularly and find communion with their soul will always be following the straight and narrow path – their soul, their conscience will never permit the taking of short cuts!

As seekers and meditators, we all develop the ‘good’ within us and give it wind and over time it becomes second nature. The goodness is radiated from the being and it is ‘felt’ by people who come within range of that radiance. Meditation is the way to ensure that goodness prevails within our being and radiates to those who are near and dear to us.
