''At the end of life we shall be judged by love, according to the love we have practised toward our Fellow man'' : Mother Teresa
What a beautiful thought from a wonderfully blessed woman who dedicated her life toward upliftment, healing and bringing joy to every person she met.
As we know, Mother Teresa had her share of difficulties when she tried to work for Missionaries of Charities. She lived through a time not very different from today. At that time too, in every corner of the world there were sick, hungry, poor and orphaned. This day too, it is the same. It is easy to shrug these realities of the world off and live in your own bubble - which is what most people do. Or others get depressed and question the existence of God and the cause of all this suffering in the world.
But at every step in our life we have a choice. A choice to adopt an attitude. A choice to let our heart guide our mind and our inner divine nature to lead our actions. If you choose to live your bubble inside out, you create a path of sharing, growing and prospering. As an analogy, if we look at our bodies, that itself should be a huge source of wonder and awe to us from the viewpoint of creation and growth. We all start out as one microscopic unimaginably tiny cell. And then that cell divides. And it divides again. And again. Creating beautifully what we call 'me' today. The source and stuff we're all made of is the same. We all are in essence, the same. Mother Teresa and other great spiritual individuals and healers recognise this oneness. They are aware of the true needs of an individual, which are nothing but happiness and love. We have a choice - To choose to first Love ourselves, then Love our families, then Love our neighbours, only because they all (including yourself) are beings looking for Love.
Live your bubble inside out.
I believe that if you heal a person with Love and Compassion, that individual will awaken to Love and want to bring abundance in their own life by doing something worthwhile. Criticism is something our minds react to but Love is something our heart and our soul reacts to. There is no logic in Love. Because, Love just is.
It is difficult for people to walk this path of Love because, (in the words of Rumi), the flame of pure unconditional Love burns down the house of the Ego. All the stories we tell ourselves about not being good enough, about lack, about being incomplete are threatened. But, ones who realise that Love is the oxygen for nourishing the Soul and that it is the Soul that lives through our body, declining the stories in our head become easier.
The source of our existence, both physically and spiritually is Love. Let's cast away what the voices in our head tell us we are and believe what our Heart knows we are. :)
