Humility

Seeing things as they are is not easy. Some timesI have a tendency to perceive and interprete what I see by my judgemental eyes that block o come the way to see the reality as it is. My judging thoughts are the blocks that prevent me seeing things are. My perception gets distracted fom seeing the reality as it is. Projections of my ideas, my views cete delusons in me. Whem I keep my mind free from my distorted perceptions I am able to see what is as it is. Awareness of my own self-created distortions allows me to see things as they are, in their true colors This awareness helps me to recognize my own limitations and be free from them. I realize that it is to say what I need to do but it is not easy to change what binds me. I know it requires patience and perceiverance and it helps me. To let go of arrogance is also not that easy when we think as better than others or superior to others. This egotistic stance creates and continues our arrogance. As I have mentioned before practicing non judgemental mindfulness has helped me from being caught up from the arrogance syndrome. Beginner's mind idea that comes from Zen Buddhisome is also very valuable to me. Not to be bound by the past and fear and anxiety about the future is a great way to be free from our self-created bondage. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has yet to come, Now and here is the reality. Let us have the "beginner's mind" to see things as they are and break our self-ceated bondage. Namaste. Jagdish P Dave
