“Sadness and the Connection to Ego”
Spiritual GrowthWritten by Dr Paul Haider - Spiritual Teacher557 views
Many times sadness has to do with ego— but we never connect the dots.
When we feel the world is going against us we feel we should be treated better, our ego is taking over telling us things should be different.
We create our reality according to our actions and thus we have created our karma over many lifetimes. Yet all the great avatars from the past have gone through many challenges and were even crucified— yet we feel we deserve better.
All of us have challenges— that’s a given. We come to this earthly plane to nullify our karma and to help those who are suffering. We are the ones who have to overcome our ego in order to make a difference in the world. And that’s exactly what all the great gurus and saints did, in order to bring their message of love and peace to the world.
Lots of people suffer, yet some gladly suffering knowing that this is their destiny. Knowing that everything brought to them is a learning lesson, thus they take it all in and move towards the light. Moving with a smile on their face braving all the slings and arrows of this existence. Yet others bemoan every little thing they have to endure, thinking that life should be perfect. Yet not a single person on this planet has a prefect life. Everyone has something that causes pain and suffering— that’s the nature of being alive.
Some gladly suffer while others say “I Deserve Better” thus some suffer twice as much as others. Some surrender completely thus grace filters in filling the void… and thus there is no suffering where grace becomes a healing balm.
See the good in all things,
See the good in suffering and gladly suffer and surrender completely,
Thus surrender will open thy heart and all suffering will end.
Many Blessings to Everyone!

Listening to the Voice of the Soul Rather Than the Voice of the External Mental and Vital Nature
