On Evil

On Evil

There are no bad people in the world ...just unconscious ones . And the more deeply unconscious one is the more one resents the aware the open,the free ,the unafraid. It is so easy to get caught up ...in anger and Fear . So easy to forget .......what our true nature is...so easy to get sucked into the Drama of What Seems that one becomes oblivious to What Is.

I shifted yesterday ...imperceptibly but surely shifted from someone who was being affected by the unhapiness and Unconsciousness around me ...to someone who saw but did not React ,Someone who felt but was not perturbed.
The connection with another human being can be the source of the greatest Joy as also the Greatest Pain. I think the Pain comes when we shift focus from our own center into emotions and the people causing those emotions. Emotions like Life and Maya and the world are ephemereal ..it is our focus on them that makes them real. It is our  continual emphasis that gives power to Fear and Anger and Hatred inside ourselves and therefore Outside. The same energy can sow Love and Beauty ...it is the same energy that one can nurture with or destroy with. Each one of us is ourselves Lakshmi the provider of abundance as well as Shiva destroyer of what the eye can see.

It is upto us each moment to choose ... I am sad but aware that for long I have chosen to react to the negative and the unconscious in a typical Fight or Flight response. I am ashamed of it ...but at least aware. It is time to change .....to choose ...and to be aware that there Is a choice !
