Self respect? Please respect-self !!!

However, when we miss out on self .….we are left with the word respect alone. Now this is the beginning of ego. How??

The moment we miss on the self...we start seeking it externally.

We want others, to respect us. OTHERS, who are others, may or may not respect us, but there is an underlying expectation that feeds on our ego. If the expectation is not met we are frustrated and now starts the anger and thus vindictive attitude. So one folly, breeds the other and we are caught in a cycle of mundane, forgetting the our core SELF and its respect.

If we are respectful to ourselves ...we would not seek this validation outside and thus feel complete within our self .We would learn to be loving and compassionate to ourselves first. Gradually this would become our basic nature and thus, we will be compassionate for others too.

We should accept people as they are, but prior to that we need to accept ourselves, as we are! Ego is when we react and behave in the same way, as others do to us.

Ideally in this case we simply replicate, what others do to us. Instead we could accept them, as they are, without compromising or criticizing ourselves, because we are all unique in ourselves. So why compare? With comparisons comes jealousy or jealousy driven inferiority, which is the most detrimental to our self esteem and only fuels ego. We become mechanical !

So let us embrace ourselves first with 100% love and compassion, to attain higher order of self esteem, where we can easily compliment others for their strengths, without feeling jealous or inferior.

Remember in this experiential journey of grace and giving….the most important person is ‘us’ and ourselves first!...

स्वमान से स्व हटाया तो रह गया मान और

फिर मान से ‘न’ हटकर..... बन गया मांग!
