The one that loves God
is always light-hearted.
Why? When we love someone fully,
we place our full faith in Him.
In the same way when
we love God fully we place our faith
that all He does for us is good for us.
That faith keeps one free
from anxiety, doubts, hatred,
misunderstandings and desires.
Most of us are under the false impression
that a spiritual life is a serious life.
That is completely a misconception.
A spiritual heart always concentrates
on simplicity and simplicity,
and in that focus he escapes a life
of artificiality.
Simplicity is one’s natural
response to one’s conscience.
A simple person believes
in the wisdom of the conscience
and overcomes the tribulations
of the mind by the sincerity of his reasoning.
He reasons by not focusing
on the desire but instead on
the guidance of his conscience.
With that he is always content
always happy!
We all wish to be light-hearted
but we choose wrong ways.
Often we choose ways
that bring us to a loose way of thinking.
As a result we are unable
to receive guidance from
within ourselves and rely on outside methods.
The greater we rely on these
outside methods the more cynical
we get toward our own inner voice.
The more we doubt ourselves
the more we resent to rely
on the outside guidance.
It is indeed a vicious cycle
that once one steps into,
one is unable to get out of.
We often carry heavy loads in our minds.
But none of us truly realize that most of these loads
that we carry are born out of desire.
They become a “must” only
because we have desired them so very much.
We are prepared to carry the burden
of so much in our minds but we are
not prepared to be simple.
Simplicity to the ‘ordinary mind’ is ‘deprivation’.
And ‘deprivation of these burdens’ to the ‘simple mind’
is contentment.
Be simple…be sincere…then only will you be content.
If you wish to focus on being happy then realize
the three things that you will need to carry are self-respect,
self-confidence, and self-awareness.
Self-respect is the love for truth
that is within you
Self-confidence is the love for carrying
out that truth.
Self-awareness is the love
of the Self as that truth.
May you be blessed with all of them.
May simplicity and sincerity bring you heart-filled contentment.
