Making Excuses

[JRdd 0]

Sometimes I think the philosophical understanding of our fallen condition can be used to excuse behaviour that really should be effectively curtailed by now. To think that we must be resigned to being entrenched in abusive or fallen behaviour, is simply discouraging. Dis-COURAGE-ing. Does this process work? You bet it does!

Sometimes we are so afraid of being puffed up that we tend to overcompensate by deeming ourselves as inadequate. Seems like if we don't worry so much about the state of our egos, and instead focus on chanting, reading, associating, serving in various ways, we will make far more advancement.

 

This is self peptalk. I spend too much time beating myself over the heart.

Seems there's someone there self-pep-reciprocating.

In the association and service of a "Radha-Krishna realized" guru, the spiritual energy drowns the false ego and awakens your true ego. Due to the lack of association with such great personalities one remains confused.

Hold onto what u know; be flexible about what u r not sure of.

If u r satisfied within, no need for any without.
