1)?
The rituals that we go through in festive times like this have been curated in absolute accordance to spirituality.
The same goes with the holy books that exist.
Our understanding or awareness if we may call it forms our perception towards these rituals and books.
So in order to know these things better we need to deepen our awareness. A deep understanding of things will take us to a point which naturally brings out tremendous gratitude for all these different rituals, books and philosophical findings. It brings out the vision to witness the oneness in these diverse forms of wisdom.
2)?
Our own perspective is everything. We already know that to be honest. But very few of us are actually working on that. Working to better that.
That is where the difference is. The moment we work on changing our perspective rather than try to change our lives, the world adjusts itself for us. We wouldn’t have to go back and forth to better our lives then, the world would do it for us.
A few key elements to make the world work for us is gratitude, compassion, contentment, joy, bliss, devotion and so on. Fix these elements in your hearts, let them out like those fine rays of light of the morning sun and see the magic of life unfolding itself on it’s own.
Om Shanti….?
