Negativity??

[Guest guest]

Hate<br>Anger<br> lust<br> pride<br>violence<br>

selfishness<br> ungratefullness<br>

manipulation<br>lies<br>speaking harsh words<br>talking ill of

others/backbiting<br> thinking others as fools, etc.<br><br> are common

defects of human beings, some inherited from animals and

some earned as homo sapiens.<br><br> And they are all

big obstacles to the path of sadhna and must be

removed for establishing ourselves in the path of sadhna.

But they are not removed overnight and a sadhka has

to go with them for sometime on the path of sadhna

before reaching higher planes.<br><br> But is there one

among them which needs to be removed first of all to

start sadhna?? Which one?<br><br>which of them are the

biggest hurdles, which will not let our sadhna begin or

which will make our sadhna fruitless?<br><br>Hari Aum

Silent Soul!<br>i like the analogy about hurdles

and viewing sadhna as an event. These hurdles are

viewed like event of olympic proportions, no? You ask

what is the biggest hurdle? i say it is the one we

ourselves place before them all by saying "I cant do it."

<br><br>It is that belief that makes us give up inspite of

the challenge. It forces us to be spectators to

complicity instead of allowing us to take our rightful place

as competetors. Our greatest gift from God is Human

Spirit, our Will. IMHO<br><br>om tat sat<br>>:*)
