As i think

Level of Ideal way…..

In each of us , a double personality playing at all times; one, a personality which we believe in and another with which we act out. Roughly we can attribute the former to our intellectual entity and the latter to our physical person. Educated as we are , as a product of our study, appreciation and admiration of some of the perfect qualities, both moral and ethical, in other great souls, we have vague picture of the ideal that we wish to be . This picture of the ideal, when entertained for  along in ourselves, becomes so clearly impressed in ourselves that we come to believe that we are the ideal that we cherish. But alas! Others suffer and groan under the persecutions of what we actually are in our life.
    Our Self –unfoldment, our growth in ourselves our personality charm can burst forth in all its fragrance and joy into full bloom only when we plan for and bring about an actual translation of our idealism into our day-to-day life. We must live what we believe in. we must act upon our own cherished ideas, we must strive to live our accepted philosophy of life. Or else, though a devotee we will run amuck to carry away our Sita, there by inviting not only our own destruction but host of sorrows to a million others around us.
   As seekers and sincere aspirants to a higher cultural life all must learn to translate your ideal picture of our self in our own work a –day life. This only possible through regular and sincere self examination and long careful introspection. Each day see the drama of your days ‘ life thrown upon the screen of your own mind and watch. Edit the play; take new decisions; discover the faults; avoid them in your next 24-hours’ life. Thus one by one, weed out your weaknesses in your physical contains and dealings, in your mental feelings and emotions, and in your intellectual estimation of things and beings.
Thus what you estimate yourself to be and what others judge you, from your actions, are poles apart from each other. Your so called estimate of yourself is but your intellectual belief in some ideal picture of yourself; but in your dealing with the world outside you are acting just the opposite and the only one who is totally unconscious of the ugliness is yourself.
        Unfortunately, what you think yourself to be you are not that !A problem is never solved by succumbing ourselves to it. In fact problems grow, flattened and nourished by the number of victims that come nnder its onslaught. This is equally true both in the communal life as well as individual life. A man who compromises within in dire attitude of escapism is a man noted for utter failures all through his life.
Therefore one must learn the art of facing the upheavals in one’s own individual life. It cannot be just quietened by added physical comforts or by showing more and more love and sympathy towards the restless…..it has to be solved by remedies applicable to that level alone.
