A part of our purpose or being here on earth is to learn how to remove
envy, jealousy, greed and resentment. To remove envy be content. To remove
jealousy be trustworthy. To remove greed be generous. The fourth of the troublesome
four is resentment.
Resentment is a negative state where the individual blames everybody and
everything, but self for the state of his or her life. This individual feels he
or she is the hapless victim of a cruel fate. Life is seen as unfair and full
of disappointments. As a victim the individual refuses to accept responsibility
for his or her own destiny and firmly continues to point to the outside world
as the problem. Clearly, resentment blocks one off from the guidance of the
soul. Success then is falsely measured not by inner experience, but by outward
appearances. In a positive state a person realizes that they are the architects
of their own destiny and that the human mind, and thus the soul have unlimited
possibilities. Realizing that limitations are self- imposed an individual is
able to lift the veil of illusion (maya)
and master one’s own fate. It is not the
world that is the illusion, but your perceptron of it. You now can see the
forest for the trees. Like all the troublesome four to master resentment requires
balance, strength and flexibility, as well as the ability to be content and at peace
with your life just as it is. Let’s work on this today.
Once you know who you are (the infinite capacity to be) and why you
are here (to discover this infinite capacity) envy, jealousy, greed and resentment
become irrelevant. To master the troublesome four, be content, trustworthy,
generous and remember the world is real it is your perception (how you see things)
that is the illusion. Remove the maya (illusion)
and see the world as it is; an opportunity to learn, know and master your life.
Namaste
