Life Lessons 5

Anger:
Anger is a natural emotion.If we naturally felt our anger by expressing it ,if we let it live for a minute in order to move through it we would be fine.But problems arise when we either express anger inappropriately by blowing up or suppress it so that it accumulates.We end up either giving a situation more of our anger than it deserves,or none of it.

Suppressed anger does not simply evaporate,it becomes unfinished business.Many people were raised in families where showing any anger was wrong.Others come from families where even the slightest problem escalated to rage.It is no wonder we have no good role models foe expressing this natural emotion.instead of understanding what to do with anger ,we question it,wonder if it is valid,misplace it and do just about everything we can except feel it.But anger is a normal reaction,useful at the right time and place,and in the proper portions.
Anger does not have to be a horrible beast that consumes our lives.It's just a feeling.It's a feeling to be experienced,not judged.Like all our feelings ,anger is a form of communication,it brings us a message.Unfortunately,many of us no longer hear its message because we often do not know how to feel it.
Anger tells us that we haven't dealt with our hurt.Hurt is present pain ,while anger is often lingering pain.We can accumulate many hurts and it becomes hard to sort them out,eventually ,even hard to recognize the anger.
Anger held internally ,changes our impressions of the past and distorts our view of current reality.
We must be allowed to express our anger and must give ourselves permission to do so.We are here to heal and move through our feelings.Like little babies we can learn to be more honest and express our anger.We can learn to live lives where anger is a feeling that passes,not a state of being.



Shree

Realisation

Buddha takes all ideals away.
He takes your very self,leaves an innocent ,virgin emptyness behind.
That virgin emptyness is Nirvana.
Nirvana is not a goal.
It is your emptyness .

Osho The Zen Master


Shree realised why is HE making her empty.
All Praise to HIM

Love

'The loving devotion to the Lord does not come by
one's own efforts ,even though we may long for it.
This cup of loving devotion belongs to our Lord and Master;
He gives it to whomever He likes'



Taken from Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Shlokas of Baba Shaykh Fareed Jee

Sunflower

Searched for my Beloved everywhere ...........in vain
wise men asked me to wait ........coz only foolish fall in love.
Spent my life giving others what i have not........
Then The Truth stood n looked into my eyes with all tenderness
n whispered 'you are Me'
my world stopped for eternity.....
And in that silence i saw all my miseries have turned into celebration
curses into blessings.

From all the suffering n pain i was born again..........afresh
like a sunflower.
To receive Him in His heart coz now there is no i no me only Him.




Shree

Love

Love is something spontaneous and not acquired.

In Qur'an 2:247 it is given ALLAH grants HIS power to whom HE pleases.


In the words of Al-Hujwiri, near whose grave Kwaja Mo'inuddin Chishti sat in meditation
Love is a divine gift,not a thing that can be acquired by human effort without divine grace...
If the whole universe wished to attract love,it could not.If it made the utmost effort to
repel it ,it could not.



shree found this extremely beautiful.

Truest of the True

I praise the True Lord,
The Truest of The True,
I see The One Lord,
and no other.

Guru Amar Dasji
