Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Sat Nam Sat Pal Kaur, What you disclosed in your email are my sentiments exactly, but the other side of the coin, and my dilema, which I frequently need to remind myself of, is to be self-less and compassionate towards those who are and have been unkind to me, for they must be in just as much, if not more pain than myself, and in some ways it feels as though I am being put to the test. Sometimes it feels good knowing that I tried, and other times, there are the mixed emotions of anger and guilt that are experienced within myself, for even thinking that me trying to help would benefit anyone, least of all myself. Anyway, it's always been my belief that everyone, no matter how awful, one could be, that deep, deep down, there is a light, their light, that needs to be kindled through unconditional love. As a child I was never given unconditional love, it was always withdrawn, and somehow I felt it was wrong, but does that mean one becomes doormat, or a hermit and move into the mountains? There needs to be some sort of a balance, which I haven't found yet. Anyway,it all gets a bit confusing for me when it comes to helping others first before myself. However,as you expressed, my emotions are also spared when I choose not surround myself by those who can be a negative force. Thank you so much for your advice, it means so much to me. You are in my prayers. Love, Peace & Light, Bliss, NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi Bliss, I understand what you are saying. I have just found that sometimes I need to detach and send love, rather than stay in the muck, if it's a painful and unhealthy decision. I believe, too, that deep down everyone has their light, it's just sometimes it's covered up with pain. Telling the truth and taking care of yourself has helped me greatly. Our families are very affected by our Kundalini Yoga practice, even if they don't know that we're doing it! My teacher told me that, and I really see it with my family. So much progress in what used to feel like a hopeless situation. I once had a dream of a large black doormat...that's all. I knew I didn't need to look that symbol up in the dream dictionary. That doormat was me! It made my decision for me! Peace and healing to you, Sat Pal Kaur I've been doing an hour of mantra every morning, and can really feel the difference in my aura. Getting your self back helps so much. > What you disclosed in your email are my sentiments exactly, but the other side of the coin, and my dilema, which I frequently need to remind myself of, is to be self-less and compassionate towards those who are and have been unkind to me, for they must be in just as much, if not more pain than myself, and in some ways it feels as though I am being put to the test.
