Being spiritual is knowing what i feel and think is NOT my Self

Jan 3

Soul - jus now I jus let my nephew knock his head. I wanted to teach him that throwing tantrum by knocking his head only serves to hurt himself and can't get what he want. But mom n brother said he is only a child n I shldnt let him hurt himself. Am I on d right track? Or I was acting from ego.

I m also apprehensive of d budget period ahead n wonder if I can pull thru d veg. Actually, on veg, m no longer so worried. Like P said, instead of focus on loss, focus on gain loh. And I have my fill for the past 2 mths n infact put on some weight that I know will be lost when I go on veg.
As for d new career, also slightly worry whether it wld take off.
But m fine, wit d meditation.

Spiritual realisation is to see clearly that what I perceive, experience, think or feel is ultimately not who I am, that I cannot find myself in all those things that continuously pass away.
When I know myself as that, whatever happens in my life is no longer of absolute but only of relative importance. I honor it, but it loses its absolute seriousness, its heaviness.
The only thing that ultimately matters. Can I sense my essential Being, in d background at all time? Or am I losing myself in what happens, losing myself in the mind, in the world?

Soul - I only fear I lost my Self n didn't fight for my Passion. Didn't transform towards my Destiny.

Whenever u feel superior or inferior to anyone, that's the ego in u.

Some egos, if they cannot get praise or admiration, will seek negative attention instead by provoking a negative reaction in someone else.

What really matters is not what function u fulfill in this world, but whether u identify wit ur function to such an extent that it takes u over and becomes a role that u play.

Soul - Father, perhaps I was playing my role as a coach wit my nephew. Actually, not sure I m a coach, cos I believe most people need to suffer before they come to their senses. They will seek awareness only when d pain is too much.

Soul - jus read Sadhguru's poem
Divine sensation blaze dim beings into beings of light, the joyless into blissful, raise cowards into the realm of the fearlessness.
For the one who has known these Divine sensation of Dhyanalinga, the glories of life will play at his feet.

I 'quit' my job (but was offered part time) n eat 40 days no meat/no coffee/no dessert. This is stripping my life long pleasure, one of d main method I love myself and others loving me. So, I was worried that since I cannot give love to myself n wit this heavy budget period. Not sure if I can cope. Well I can.
