Shaky Soul

I think it’s actually good for our soul if every now and then we experience sorrow, let-downs and disappointments in life. It is at these times we realise we are human. It is at these times we realise that a little compassion goes a long way. It is at these times that we know we can be in control of ourselves under all situations.

When someone treats you in an unkind way, such as being insensitive, aggressive, rude, critical, unreasonable, or unfair, how would you respond?

Depending on the scale of things, most of us would probably be slightly upset; some of us would probably be very angry. Why? Why even that we know these kinds of emotions are not good for us, yet we are so easily caught into these wasteful emotions?

I, too, often get caught into dramas like this. At such times, I like to remind myself of Avyakt BapDada’s wisdom. He said:

If someone gives you sorrow, don’t take it. They may give, but you mustn’t take it. Even if an angry person comes, you just give blessings to him and receive blessings from him because blessings are an easy tool for intense effort.

Magically, every time I tried this method, it seemed to have worked!. Every time when I refused to take sorrow and sent out only my blessings to those who didn’t make me feel comfortable, things always seemed to turn around (sometimes very quickly and sometimes much later) and the tension would ease.

BapDada also said:

Anything that is full doesn’t have any fluctuation. When it is not full, it fluctuates and shakes. Anything that is not completely full will shake.

When our soul is shaky, perhaps it’s time to check how full it is and how much treasure we are yet to put in.
