See things as they are

View attachment 155008

Dear Friends,
We are blessed with the gift of vision and the power of imagination which we can visualise. It is of great importance to us. Based on our seeing we perceive the world. Moreover what we see and how we see and perceive is our choice.

In this world of duality we categorize things as good or bad , right or wrong. Generally we stick to the good aspect or the pleasant one and try to resist or negate the other. But the fact is that the two aspects coexist.

We actually see things as they are when we accept things as they are. Most of the times our lack of acceptance of the reality causes trouble or pain or sorrow for us. When we don't accept reality then we go into the realms of imagination.

Speaking of imagination , we should know how to use it creatively and practically. There should be application of our imagination for the betterment of the world. Just day dreams and our fancies would not lead us to our goal, which is to evolve and grow ourselves and help others to evolve and grow.

Reality is being in the present moment with full awareness and this comes only though the magical power of acceptance and total surrender. If complete surrender is difficult,then we can start with small steps of acceptance.

Believe me when we accept ourselves as we are then we can also accept others as they are. The change has to begin with us. life also becomes very simple for the reason that when acceptance increases then expectations decrease.Thus we can see things as they are, embrace people as they are and deal with any situation in a calm manner.Awareness and calmness of the mind is the key to see things as they are .
