PART II
The loss of awareness of
our original essence results in a deep dissatisfaction and inner
deterioration. People do not behave in a bad manner because they just wish
so, rather because they are dissatisfied within.
How can we help people
to feel satisfied?
Sensitiveness is not
enough to empathize with the others so knowledge and discipline are required.
What about those people
who do not even show sensitiveness?
We may learn to acquire,
develop, find sensitiveness, which in Latin is called pietas.
Sensitiveness can be found in atman, our spiritual matrix. We
cannot trust the mind because when external circumstances change, our
mental frame modifies consequently. For this reason we have to help
people to start an inner search, to rediscover their real self. In
this way, by developing such awareness, we can face the situations
that otherwise could have become our limits, according to the
changeable circumstances of life.
Our relations should not
depend on external circumstances, we ought to learn to overcome them.
A great daily effort
within needs to be done if we want to achieve this target. By
conquering the inner enemies one after another, we lead ourselves to steadiness, tolerance, peacefulness. By practicing such
attitude we learn not to react automatically to events, provocations,
offences, abuses.
A person needs to
modify one’s point of view. One may wear a heavy shield to protect
oneself, but it will not be strong enough because it is only by
switching and elevating our point of view that we reach a steady and
broad inner confidence.
We miss a great deal of
life which cannot be reproduced in the present span of time, if we carry on to identify
as real what real is not. By modifying our point of view, our
efforts, our dedication towards such an elevated mission will unveil
to us the meaning of living.
It is not easy to
succeed because we were born with a superficial mental attitude, with
prejudices and tendencies acquired through behaviors we have brought back
from previous lives. Performance of actions are pressing from our
subconscious and lead us to repeat the same old mistakes. Therefore
we need great care and attention to avoid circumstances that may put
us at risk.
A person does not learn
by punishment, rather by improving through education on an ethical
and spiritual level, so that one may distinguish and filter
between experience and its interpretation and between experience and reaction to events.
