"Worshiping the unseen, but destroying the seen", that's the
spiritual practice of many suffering souls who commit a lot of violence. And we
are not just talking about common human beings, even in the holy places
violence happens. It is deeply sad of course, but sadness is not a seed of
violence. Sadness is an invitation to sprinkle the holy water of forgiveness
and compassion to every fire of violence.
This kind of attitude is needed, especially because there are suffering
souls presence all around. While people in developing countries can not eat
because of poverty, an increasing number of people in rich countries also can
not eat. Certainly not because of being poor, but they can not eat because of
excessive fear that leads to health problems.
A spiritual friend who works in a super luxurious and super expensive
cruise ship shared a story, some of the super rich people from super rich
countries often ask for boiled eggs at breakfast. Sadly, some of the boiled
eggs are returned back because they could not eat. The lesson is simple, the
poor people suffer due to shortages, the rich person suffer because of the fear
of losing.
And similar to the darkness that invites the coming of light, the burning
suffering everywhere invite as many souls as possible to share the fresh air of
coolness. You don't need to wait to be great and famous. Simply focus on
something that could be done in our respective environments.
A western lady in Ubud, Bali, kept feeding wild dogs everyday. She has been
doing it for years. When she was asked what the result was, this middle aged
woman replied beautifully like this: "the greatest gift of love is love
itself".
In other words, anyone who keeps loving and helping, will actually embody
love and kindness deep within their heart. When love and kindness are born
within, the first soul who is cool and beautiful is not the others, but the one
who practice it.
In the southern part of earth (Australia), there was a grandmother who
celebrate her 100th birthday. Even though her husband died 48 years before, and
she never get married again, she was always happy. When she was asked what was
her secret, with an innocent gaze this grandmother muttered: "when we take
good care of life, life will take good care of us".
That's the reason why the grandmother always water the garden every time
she gets up early in the morning, feeds the cat everyday, takes good care of
all the belongings of her late husband, she often invites her grandchildren to
enjoy her homemade cakes.
The guiding message is simple, life is similar to a spiders web, it is all
connected. What is done there will vibrate back. Someone who likes to share a
smile will get a smile. Any heart who loves to share the light, they will
receive the light. Anyone who likes to hug will be hugged back.
Any inner seekers who understand and apply this deeply, will one day not
only find a cool and gentle life, but also be able to share the coolness and
the softness inside with the world. A kind of aura that is strongly needed in
this world which is full of fire all around. As soon as one arrived here, every
breath keep whispering the word peace, peace, peace.
"One touching attitude send more light than million people who have
bad attitude"
