"I want to care for the other!"
"May I know, why you want to care for the other?"
"Caring for the other generates peace in me!"
"Not caring for yourself, takes away peace from you!"
"Then?"
"The right discipline here is..
Care for your basics,
Care for certain enjoyments of yours
Beyond only
Care for others!"
"What is that level, I can stop caring for myself and start caring for others?"
"You, yourself have to fix that level and you yourself have to alter it at whatever pace you wish to do other than ending up with zero pace..
"I don't get it!"
"Dear!
Caring less for others amounts to myself becoming self oriented with a feeling..
'I'M IMPORTANT!'
Caring more for others amounts to myself becoming self assertive with a feeling..
'I'M IMPORTANT!'
And
Caring at the same level for others amounts to myself becoming self concious with a feeling,
'Let me do min and get away from here the earliest as
I'M IMPORTANT!'
Whatever it be, all are nothing but self interested activities only and as the quality of self matters in all our actions,
One needs to manage his/her actions within the limits everywhere!"
Keyword: SELF
You have to strike a balance between caring for yourself and for others. Self-care is also important. You can't pour from an empty cup. IT's a good read.
ReplyDeleteRightly said Marietta Pereira. The Great Saint too while in the Sacred Task of 'Realizing the Self' soon found that starving the body through severe Penance is not the right way there and the next moment, He stopped His Meditation, accepted some milk and food and instantly restored His energies. Thanks for the good obeservation on the message of Post. Wishes!
