Fostering Culture & Creativity!
Another week of our “Reminiscence Blog” to watch out for dear folks!!! :-)
BEING = DANCING =TRANSCENDING!
Intelligence lies in making the decision..’the situation cannot affect my inner peace anymore’. Those who seek vengeance have killed themselves even before they kill their enemies.
You cannot heal yourself by harming another. So..acceptance & tolerance are considered as intelligence!
Acceptance from outside & withdrawing ourselves from getting affected inside — these Two things have to happen simultaneously, not one after the other. If it is one after the other, it may lead to suppression!
Just because I couldn’t do anything, if I force myself to accept as it is, this will highly weaken myself! This won’t work.
I have to accept & respect everyone & everything as the way it is, not by suppressing and weakening myself but by strengthening myself! It is like, increasing our immunity, so that we do not get affected by the virus in the air!
Similarly, when we are high in our mental strength, we become more powerful to decide not to give way for reaction!
Look at this example..! When we move our hands and legs according to the hand & leg moments of the other with stick is called Dāndiyā dance’(move in a circle hitting the sticks with either side)! If we don’t synchronise with others, we hit them & get hit from them! Then, there will be only chaos! But if we could synchronise, how joyful & fun-filling it is!
The point to be noted here is…
- By looking at the people around, I’m not losing my peace, who may or may not be perfect dancers! However they are imperfect, I just hit the stick correctly and move on to the other in a circle! This is called intelligence where acceptance & tolerance happens simultaneously & spontaneously!
This is not DOING but BEING!
BEING is nothing but DANCING!
DANCING is nothing but TRANSCENDING the reactions; learning to accept as it is and move on; deciding to be in the state of peace and joy!
Pleasant day ahead…:)
