to Amarnath about Love and forgiveness

[Guest guest]

Dear Amarnath ~ your post reminded me of the Course in Miracles basic

teaching that everything is Love. Anything else is fear. I have had some fear

after coming home. Fear about my illness, fear about how little I am able to

see my daughter ... and of course, in forgiving, one always has to remember

to include one's self. Thank you Amarnath ~ Linda

3 ways to face misfortunes in life no matter what the causes

 

1) Satvic ~ apply spiritual principles like Jesus teachings ~ forgive

them father for they know not what they do; forgive our trespasses as we

forgive others their trespasses; if you forgive others, God will forgive you;

if you do not forgive others, neither will God forgive you ~ there are

many other spiritual teachings and practices one can turn to, but FORGIVENESS

is essential in all of them

 

2) Rajasic ~ if one is NOT aware of spiritual knowledge, but one has

energy, most people will turn to worldly ambitions to pursue career,

business, etc to distract oneself from the misfortune; some lucky few may use

their energy to go to India or elsewhere on a quest which may turn into

spirituality; some other lucky few may turn their energy to selflessly serving

those less fortunate which in itself is a spiritual practice

 

3) Tamasic ~ without awareness of spiritual approaches and without

energy, one may cling to NON-FORGIVENESS and thus blame, judge, etc everyone

else without taking individual responsibility for ones part; even here

there is saving grace, if the pain is strong enough and becomes unbearable,

surrendering one's egoic mind may happen for lucky few ; it is the ego that

makes us weak, fearful, vindictive, separate from God, separate from LOVE,

and makes us ill physically, mentally, emotionally; we are indeed fortunate

if we can turn everything over to God
