Spiritual Blindness

Spiritual Blindness

Every morning and night, be truthful with yourself, analyze yourself in a silent moment, see where you are moving blindly through the valley of life.

Do you hide behind veils of wealth, or pretence of wealth, beauty, learning, titles and positions?  Are you authentic in all your dealings in life, at home, with friends, with family and at work?  Is what is inside of you, also allowed to be seen on the outside, or are you hiding some part of yourself, feeling ashamed or fearful of 'that' being seen or discovered by others?  If so, what and who are you hiding from?  

My Gurudeva used to say, "what is on the outside should be on the inside, and what is on the inside should be on the outside.  There should be no duplicity".

If you find yourself having hidden agenda's, try for a day to experiment with unveiling your true self to the world and those around you.  You may feel vulnerable and exposed, but it's a lot less 'work' than the stress of keeping things hidden from others, and from your self.

Be honest.

Make your own reflection an honest one, 
For you shall be free.
