Practice Harmony – remove violence.

The main source of disharmony is the violence that exists within the mind; therefore, we should strive for nonviolence in our thoughts, our speech, and our actions, and this will lead to harmony. On a soulful level, harmony signifies the alignment and balance between one’s inner world and the universe. It represents a state of peace, unity, and understanding of life’s highest purpose. It is a symbol of cooperation and connection, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in achieving a shared goal. Harmony reminds us that we are not separate entities but rather parts of a unified whole, actively participating in the universal dance of oneness. What disrupts harmony is violence. According to karma, violence is an obstacle to the practice of living a harmonious life. These obstacles are: 1 to do violence or be untruthful to another person 2. To do violence or be untruthful to oneself 3. To allow others to do violence or be untruthful 4 To encourage others to do violence or be untruthful These thoughts give rise to deceit, greed, anger, and pride. Therefore, we should strive to practice truthfulness, generosity, kindness, and humility, and this will bring harmony into our lives. It takes balance, strength, flexibility, and peace to live a harmonious life – takes work, - that’s karma, let’s get started. END: To combat violence and create harmony, we should avoid using abusive words, insulting statements, angry speech, and giving bad advice, and instead speak softly, gently, truthfully, and wisely. There is a saying: a wound caused by an arrow heals swiftly, but a wound caused by violent speech heals very slowly. The dignity of your soul is the dignity of every soul. We should come to understand that the spirit found in bacteria is not so small, and the spirit of an elephant is not so large. EGO: Flip your palms up and extend the index finger, which is the symbol of the ego. Feel it pull you from your center. By cultivating harmony, we develop compassion and understanding with all our relationships on Earth. We move from being separate and bound by the ego to merging past the barriers that keep us apart and at odds. When we develop impartiality towards all things in the world, we become one force of energy that endures under all circumstances. However, impartiality does not mean to be indifferent. It means to be undisturbed by the ebb and flow of life. This is how we create harmony. Pull your finger in and place your thumb on top. Feel the gentle surrender back to your soul. Harmony requires that we act nonviolently with commitment, understanding, patience, forgiveness, a lot of hard work, compromise, balance, flexibility, strength, and respect. It means to put aside our attachment to being right, or even being wrong, and come back to the present moment and do what it takes to remove discord. All of life is equal, but different, and that is what makes life so interesting. Harmonize with life, and the obstacles that block your success will be removed, and you will prosper.
