One are bought up in this world, become attacked and act densively by being offensive, then their ego grows until they become bitter and arrogant, filled with hatred until they walk the dark destructive path. Only once a wise man appears and speak words of light and truth to bring inner peace and clarity. Through research, these are the words I have heard "collectively":
One needs wisdom, awareness, patience, forgiveness, letting go and love.
One needs "wisdom" to know what is wholesome or not & avoid the dark path.
One needs "awareness" to "avoid" foolish people & the poisons afflictions of the mind.
One needs "patience" to endure the hardship of life and abuse from others.
One needs "forgiveness" to pardon the harm others do to them.
One needs to "let go" of the bitterness others have caused them.
One needs to "love" others in an unattached loving kindness way, as that is the way of the heavens.
That is what I was taught, and that is what helped me through hardship and that is what I believe.
Wisdom comes first because you need clarity and know what to avoid and what to nurture.
ReplyDeleteWith the right wisdom, you should be "aware" of whom to avoid.
If there is no escape, one must have to handle the hardship with "patience", "forgiveness" and "letting go" of it so you will not be afflicted & can easily find inner peace.
With "love" it is easier to be patient, forgive & let go.
