Truth and acceptance


As more and more time goes on i am beginning to realize that our constant irritation and sufferings comes from not accepting a present moment or condition. In each and every situation i see a basic truth that i have not accepted myself and that leads and adds on to many additional ones. Example Why do my credit cards carry balances - because i spend more than i earn and i have still not accepted the fact that i spend this extra money. The moment i accept and recognize the fact that i spend carelessly i am at peace with myself and more clear actions spring out of this space of clarity. When i work late and complain about over working i have still not accepted the fact that i have not planned it well. When i complain about people acting in certain ways i have still not accepted the fact that i have no control over the other persons actions. It was kind of profound when i read that "Everything that irritates you about an other person is only a part of yourself that you have not forgiven". If you feel irritated that your boss complains about stuff all it means is you are irritated with your self when you complain. As you forgive others you forgive yourself. As i am beginning to be more and more truthful in all what i do and say i find a tremendous power of healing in it. You see that you are essentially connected to one and all around you. Every body that you like and dislike are nothing but manifestations of yourself. At this level all questions about self righteous morality and rules and regulations fade away and you find yourself in peace.
