“Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.” Khalil Gibran
I have not posted anything new in a year because nothing new came into my realm of awareness until now. I have no current income at this time yet I have a sense of inner calm that there is abundance in my life, all is well and will stay that way.
A recent conversation over dinner with my dear friend Uta helped me to crystallize and pinpoint the reason for this state of being......in one word, Selflessness. When our thoughts and actions are directed towards the well being of others, (possible only when we are able access the divine within us) then undoubtedly there will be abundance.
Your mind's selfishness
Is your all-exclusive individuality.
Your heart's selflessness
Is your all-inclusive universality.
- Sri Chinmoy
Selflessness conquers pride, expands our mind, begets true friendship and is attractive....so why aren't we being less Selfish?
The transformation that is occuring in my awareness is mostly around the idea that I have been and perhaps continue to be Selfish because my way of thinking has historically been based on fear. New found thinking based on love and connection to the divine will only lead me, the spiritual seeker, to being Selfless!
