Won’t acceptance of oneself and the world lead to stagnation?
When you accept yourself
you don’t become lazy or lethargic.
Lethargic is the other
extreme of aggression.
We are talking
about a balance
where you are neither restless
nor lazy.
When you accept
that this is what I am
and this is what I can do, you calm down.
In that calming down, you grow.
When your mind has freed itself fromagitation,
it gains tremendous knowledge,
a new quality of perception and thought.
Because it has gained
a certain clarity of vision,
the mind grows faster.
Yourpersonality expands.
You see things differently.
An agitated mind can only seeagitation.
We are taught to condemn it –
how bad the world is.
Then there are people who blame themselves,
their inadequacies –
like I am hopeless, I cannot do things right,etc.
Or I should have done better –
emotionally, intellectually, financially or spiritually.
There is a pressure for continuous growth,
but when does one say that he has enough.
It never happens.
You should accept what the creator has given –
this body and this life and whatever around you.
Let me find fulfillment with this first.
With this feeling of fulfillment there will be a lot of creativity.
