Me, my Guru - On humility, courage and contentment

“Guruji, I want to overcome my insecurities. What do I do?” asked one.

“Guruji, I want to walk the path of spirituality and cover quite a distance in this very life. Tell me the technique to do the same” asked another.

“But me, Guruji, would want to be simply happy and content” pitched in the third.

“Guruji, I am insulted a lot. I feel inferior and wish to earn the respect that I deserve. I don’t want to feel the pain and undergo the suffering of being insulted and mocked at by all!” cried the one from back.

“Just be humble to accept your flaws, courageous enough to admit them and be sensible enough to correct them. You’ll overcome your pain and suffering and you’ll feel confident, fearless, content and happy. All at once!” replied our guru. 

The answer looked simple for it was crisp and small. But, its application challenged us to a lifetime. But, if we wanted what we said we did, then there was no short-cut method for this. We accepted it when she said it. But, did we have honesty and self-love enough to practice it till we mastered it was the question we needed to find an answer to. And that took time. We all knew it. So, we just took the solution on paper and went with it to apply it in life!

Questions covered:

• We all face insults, sarcasm, criticism, and judgemental remarks in our lives. How to build on our reserve to overcome being hurt by the same?
• How to overcome fear of insecurities?
• How to overcome inferiority complex?
• What attitudes to be developed to walk the path of spirituality?
• What to do to be content and happy?

Points to be noted:

• As long as we hide our real intentions and nature from ourselves, we are prone to suffering because of insults, sarcasm and remarks from others.
• Know thyself to overcome every problem of your life is the Key and panacea to one's life!
• When once you know yourself, your weakness and ACCEPT IT then you take away the power to hurt you because of your weakness from others. They no longer hurt you when you know it yourself and accept it.
• Don't shy away from looking at yourself. You are making yourself vulnerable to other's insults. 
• To look within we all need lots of courage. And the good news is we all have that courage, may be some of us have to dig a little deeper than many.
• Job doesn't end by just knowing our faults. Also be sensible and committed to work on them ASAP. Then, no one can hurt you anymore. No one can stop your growth too!
