| Self Realization |
Healing my shadow self has helped me grow to accept and love myself for who I am and has also shown me glimpses of a greater Truth.
The epiphany and
revelation that I meditate upon and have a growing faith in, as each day passes
by, is the Truth of Love and the Love of Truth.
Love is the energy
of the universe and It can only exist in a place of Truth. Since we all are
energetic manifestations of the universe itself, then logically, we embody Love
and we are Love at our core.
I imagine the
ultimate energy of Love being hidden beneath the various layers of ego, like
the petals hide the nectar of the bud. The ego arrogantly thinks that only it
exists and is real, but it doesn’t understand that it exists because it is in denial
of Love.
If and when the ego
understands this truth, the illusion is cleared and it dissolves into its
source energy of Love.
The clearing of the
illusion is not a one-time affair but rather happens repeatedly until we accept
the Truth whole heartedly.
Epiphanies and
revelations occur when the illusion clears up for just the right amount of time
for us to register the existence of a greater Truth.
For me, my
epiphanies and revelations have stirred a seemingly insatiable and innocent
curiosity to know more about this Truth of Love.
The Love I speak of
is not a romantic or platonic love but the Love of Compassion and
Understanding.
It is a warm,
comforting and safe energy that has unconditional acceptance, unconditional
support, unconditional compassion and unconditional love for all of us living
beings.
It is timeless, omniscient,
omnipresent, and omnipotent. Those who seek It persistently with devotion
become one with it.
Love knows no ego,
insecurity or bitterness.
It is as humble as
the ant and ferocious as a tsunami.
It is as gentle as a
warm autumn breeze and strong as a devastating hurricane.
It is as naïve as a
baby in the womb and as all knowing as a mother.
It accepts any
offering from dust to the costliest diamonds with the same temperance.
It accepts everyone
as its own and gently protects everyone with its embrace.
It teaches us the
lessons we must learn to clear out the layers of ego, karma and negativity,
however hard it seems for us.
I seem to have been
reborn with a new perspective of the world and of me. I do sometimes slip into
my falsely comforting ego and when I realize that I am in its grip, I seek
solace in Love.
Misunderstandings,
fights, civil wars break out when we identify too much with our ego and too
little with Love.
I call this Truth as
Love and I have heard other names for it like God, Supreme Being, Ultimate One,
Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Krishna, Sai Ram, Siva, Vishnu, Universe, Self, Brahman
etc.
Choose whichever
form you identify with and respect the choice of others as you cannot force
your version of Truth on someone else; you can only live your Truth.
Love exists in a
place of Truth and Truth exists in a place of Love.
Fear, resentment,
insecurity, inferiority, jealousy, terrorism is not Love; these are the false entities
that need Love, because their root would be ego (of being the only correct
idea) and feeling unloved (and hence unsafe).
All religious texts,
at their core, propound the philosophy of Love, in different forms.
Some say “Love Your Enemy” which implies “Give compassion and understanding to your
enemy because then they cease to be your rival and become your equal”.
Others say “You will only be an instrument of my work” which
implies that “You are a manifestation of Me and so you are a part from me
and not a third person”.
A few others may
state “I am the creator of my own reality”
and this implies that “I manifest my own reality and so do others. We are
the creators” (another form of the Love).
I hope these
examples suffice to help the reader understand that the many different
perspectives ultimately lead to the same Truth.
With this thought, I
conclude my series.
