The Utmost Perfection

life carries on. often times, we get caught up in the moment and feel that our lives are falling apart. the emotion is real, no doubt, but the notion of that feeling staying with us for long is incorrect. we as human beings are resillient, armed with a mechanism that activates the healing process. yes, we may shed tears for our loved ones passed away, but after the tears come the celebration of their memory. if your day is going down the tubes, stop for one moment and just breathe. meditate on the joys of life, and of existence. you are a magnificent creation, designed specifically to live life in bliss and tranquility. the key to the door that stands as an obstacle is already in your hand, you just have to use it. all of the mysteries and splendors of the universe are already encapsulated in your soul, you just have to open your eyes and see the light that shines within us all. we are gifted people, because of the fact that we have an atman, a soul. Socrates said that we never gain knowledge, we remember it. what he is saying is that inherently, all of the infinite knowledge of the universe is already encoded in the blueprint of your soul, it is up to you to decipher the message. planes of thought come in stages. we are not born gurus, we are born children. and as children, we need milk, not heavy meat. then, as we morph into adults, our mind begins to expand and slow down, giving the mind ample time to absorb heavier knowledge as it comes. the learning process is one that will continue on into the far reaches of inner space, never ending, never ceasing. don't cheat yourself out of the humility of the beauty of learning by saying, "I have no more to learn." no foot has walked every square inch of the seven continents of the planet. therefore, you must humble yourself and acknowledge to yourself (and only Self) that there is still more to learn, still a mountain to climb. Mount Everest is surmounted by placing one foot in front of the other. open your mind to those planes, those chakras, and continue learning. our bodies may decay, but exactly the reverse occurs to our minds. we sharpen, we harness knowledge, we transform knowledge into wisdom. and then, we understand. what a beautiful moment it is when you finally get the gist!

love yourself with the utmost perfection.
