One cannot blame outward things without inner hatred. Outer is the reflection of the inner. This is the law Eternal. In fact, advising and blaming both emerge from the state of mind where a particular person feels that “I am the knower”. However, it is not a conscious feeling. The root of this feeling lies in the hidden ego. Only when a mind is encircled with material or spiritual knowledge (accumulation of data) it will advice, but if the knowledge is absent it will take shelter in blaming. Advising is a matured form of blaming. When we know that nothing can be perfect why do we still love to advice or blame? Are we not compensating our own inner crisis by advising and blaming others? Lord Halifax says, “If a man loves to give advice, it is a sure sign that he himself wants it”.
Today, each human being is caught in the powerful network of hope and fear. Knowingly or unknowingly this inner fragmentation is infesting a major part of the central nervous system, like a dangerous virus. Whenever one is facing fear, mind is compensating it with hope, and whenever one is enjoying the sensation of hope, mind is generating microwaves of fear. This inner dichotomy has created tremendous confusion in human life.
Fear is the psychological confusion of uncertainty. At the same time hope is the defensive mechanism of fear. Fear and hope are twins that cannot exist without one another. Often hope is mistaken for faith. But a true person of faith neither quiver or falters like the frightened nor inflates and disappoints like the expectant. For a person who lives in faith there is no defeat in life. However, the faith cannot exist where there is envy and ego. What others consider as defeat is a learning opportunity for a person who is moving with unconditional faith. Faith is a product of the inner purity and inner purity is more sacred and powerful than outer dignity.
It is only through unconditional faith one can reach the infinite height of Truth and attain true glory in life. Ever since the advent of humankind, people have been living with various forms of fear, but they have been concealing it with vanity and prestige, and have been compensating it with hope. The concealed fear always establishes its dominant position in the entire psychological, biological and physical organism of the central nervous system of the particular person and continuously disturbs the natural functioning of the mind. If one shows over-confidence in life, then it is a clear signal that the particular person is living in fear. Fear is a product of the result-oriented selfish actions. However, fear can exist consistently only if there are self-projected images of heavenly or material desires.
