SELF- WITNESS TO ALL
When
one aspires for liberation, he should reject all sense objects as poison and
seek forgiveness, straight forwardness, cheerfulness, kindness and truth as
nectar.
In
other words all matters that relax the mind should be cultivated and all that
agitate it should be avoided. We are surrounded by sense objects and we should
exercise our discretion to reject them. Besides this the mind should also be
guarded against its own innate and inherent sensuality by inculcating the healthier
values of life and by reeducating the wayward mind. These healthy values are
forgiveness, straight forwardness, cheerfulness, kindness and truth.
The
sense of angry vindictiveness brings endless disturbances to the mind. Whereas
when we forgive those who have wronged us, we at once become happy and
peaceful.
Similarly crookedness in our relationship with
others brings unnecessary tension but straightforwardness gives peace.
Kindness
and cheerfulness bring poise and grandeur to the mind.
And
finally truthfulness or intellectual honest is a prerequisite for any form of
spiritualism.
Spiritual development and higher meditation are possible only in an integrated
inner
personality.
