Guest guest Posted May 3, 1999 Report Share Posted May 3, 1999 Dear Sunil, Thank you so much for your e-mail this morning. It is a reality-based message you have given us, just as Swamiji would have done. It is important to honor ourselves and where we are, not denegrating any aspect of ourselves, but to see God in All of His creation which includes the positive AND the negative. There is no place where God is not. There are two sides to every aspect of our nature. As Swamiji said, " You can never CHANGE the balance of good and evil in the world " , (paraphrase) and that applies to human nature. To resist any part of ourselves gives that aspect more power. But to acknowledge ALL of ouselves and focus on God and His will for us right here and now, is the way to harmony. Straightforwardness in dealing with others AND ourselves is one of the highest spiritual qualities. True spirituality has no pretense. It is direct, honest and based in love of truth. That is one of Swamiji's greatest qualities...his straightforwardness. Again, I thank you.
