Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 Tshamoya<br><br>The quote is by Swami Sivananda:<br><br>'Reform yourself. Let the rest of the world reform itself.'<br><br>This idea has had several implications for me. First, it reminds me that my task in life is to remove the filters to Self-Realization placed by the ego, the senses and by the conditioning of parents, government, friends, gender, workplace, religion, and community. So, it continually brings me back to the Raja Yoga path.<br><br>Second, it reminds me that those with whom I interact have similar conditionings. It is most satisfying when I interact with anyone with our mutual conditionings in mind. This usually involves compassion, viveka and vairagya. <br><br>Thirdly, it reminds me that other people must be allowed to follow their own karmic influences but that it is not necessary for me to be part of that process. Consequently, for someone, such as Omboy, who is determined to wallow in his filtered view of reality, it is best to follow your advice and neither read nor respond to his posts until things cool down and the barrage of posts from him slows down to a more reasonable level, assumes a more reasonable tone and has more reasonable/informative content.<br><br>Omprem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
