of.. grievances

"Human mind is highly intelligent. Yet its very intelligence is tainted by madness. Madness as such that this dysfunction of the human mind has the destructive impact." (Eckhart Tolle)


Feelings.... especially resentment.. are often magnified by our innerselves. When things didn't go our 'way'... we start to complain.. blaming.. Still.. given time.. we can see that the 'fault' that we perceive in others actually isn't even there. It is a total misinterpretation of the reality at hand- a projection by the mind conditioned to see the 'enemy', to pacify our inner cry to put us in the right light.. to be more superior. In other words, these are the cry of.. "i'm right, you are wrong" or "after all that i've done, this is what i get".


So what then..
Do we really need to put aside these feelings? How do we 'delete' such feelings that begin to creep slowly into our hearts? First- YES. We need to put aside. By putting aside these feelings of resentment, we allow ourselves to improve spritually. We need that. Nothing is gained if we keep on nurturing such feelings. Move on. Yes- the key is to love thyself. Grievances is just an event that happened in the past and- therefore should be kept in the past. By nurturing the grievances, feelings of resentment we are keeping the past alive. This will contaminate other areas in our lives. With that.. we put ourselves vulnerable for self destruction.

How do we 'delete' these feelings.. FORGIVE.. we can only let go grievances when forgiveness happens. To let go, to forgive is when we see that it has no purpose other than to strengthen a false sense of self.  Be honest to thyself. The past has no power to stop us in being in the PRESENT. So stop harbouring grievances- let go. Let go and live in the reality with better perspectives. Things happens for a reason.. it is with a clear mind we can look the real present- the now.. not the present that we have misinterpreted while harbouring the feelings of grievances..


"Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants, and HE is Most-Forebearing" (Al-Baqarah: 263)
