God whispered to me in the night, "Truth must be proven." He whispers this to me ever so often. Whenever I'm talking truth and doing whatever I want to do, actually.
Truth...as in we have all the patience we'll ever need within us right now, all we need do is use it. I've noticed that I've been telling me that a lot lately, then I proceed to sit in judgment of the latest irritant in my life...which is just impatience. Or self back in the driver's seat.
Likes and dislikes...I wonder if those aren't, as one, the single source of all our woes. Easwaran is forever reminding us that his spiritual adviser, his Granny, taught him that when he meets someone who is a particular irritant to him, to get closer to that person. In other words, get over himself.
Another truth...whenever I meet someone who is a particular irritant to me, I am looking at me. My job is not to find out how, where, why I am in her and/or him...my job is to get closer to them, show interest in them for their sake.
God can then clarify in me what I need to learn. It is never up to me to fix me...it is up to God who uses me to fix me.
To prove truth is to do truth...silently...as we breathe.
Thank you.
