Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Satnam, I'm contanstly struggling to forget these past events (Its been over 3 years now) that has inflicted pain on my soul. How am I supposed to see GOD in a person who has consistently humiliated not only me but my parents as well for not bringing enough valuable gifts for her and her family. In my frame of reference, I see that this is not ethical. I'm trying to get rid of this pain in my subconcious by Yoga and meditation but some days this anger simply blews me away and then monologue starts within my judgemental mind. It takes away all my energy and I'm unable to take any benefit from my spiritual practice of reciting gurbani and meditation. How long would it take me get rid of this negativity from my subconcious? What approach do I need to take so that I become neutral to her sight when I have to face her everyday. I'm aware of this fact that Truth is the identity of every soul, but how do I see ONE DIVINE LIGHT in all? Satnam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 You are very much like god in making a commitment to let go of this anger. You seem to be the only one in the situation you described who is using circumstances to make god appear, once again, by your letting go. As much as anger and resentment is in your body, yoga can purge it out; as much as it is in the psyche, kriyas and mantras can wash it away; and as much as it is in others, your acceptance can change your world. -Baba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Sat Nam " ...Pain is the remedy and pleasure is the disease: When there is pleasure there is no longing for God... " Rehiras Sahib When I read " I'm contanstly struggling to forget these past events (Its been over 3 years now) that has inflicted pain on my soul. .. " This ruminating thought creates the continuing reality to exist. One obvious need is resolution. Perhaps forgetting is not the remedy, but action. What need of yours is being met by reminiscing the pain ? What can you do to forgive this person? It can be simply asking God to help you forgive him/ her. Forgetting is not always wise , because this 'lesson' has taught you something valuable. Forgiveness is done to help yourself, and to move on. Have you communicated to this person your needs? Needs are appreciation, recognition,well being, love, etc. For ex. you could say to the person your observations, your feelings, and what need is not being met. Then ask a request, Would you be willing to ....? Also note that the pain may have brought you to a spiritual practice. Surround yourself with saintly,uplifting, loving people. " ...Pain is the remedy and pleasure is the disease: When there is pleasure there is no longing for God... " Rehiras Sahib Keep up.
