INDIFFERENCE II

Spirituality is not just a mere philosophy; it is a way of life that breaks the silence of indifference. I must say of all the Karmic Spaces to find one’s self in that would be the most distressing, it would be the Karmic Space of Indifference, for it hurts one’s life so much. Indifference can alter your whole life if you live in it. If you are not compassionate to others and yourself, then indifference becomes your God. When you are constantly complaining or have let depression stop you from serving others, then you find that you are in the Karmic Space of Indifference. The suffering of others means nothing to anyone stuck in indifference.

 

Ask yourself, “Who is responsible for the terrible pain going on in the world right now?” It is my opinion that the fourth Karmic Space, Indifference, has brought about the utter misery of humankind. Yes, we all have causes; yet to ignore the pain of others who are poorer or less apt to vote is certainly an abuse of power. The whole hierarchy of the world at times confuses spirituality with politics. When you forget the heart of a human being, you forget God.

 

The battle of the senses is small next to the battle of your ego’s thoughts. When you act on your thoughts without concern for others, you are allowing the ego to lead you into the Karmic Space of Indifference.

 

The karmic action of serving others dissolves indifference. When we pay attention to how we live, then we can see how others live and whether or not they are in pain. How we live becomes very important to the karmic scale we carry in our hearts. This day see what it is to be productive on a spiritual level and an earthly level. Have your thoughts based on your heart instead of your mind.

 

DO NOT BE INDIFFERENT. See what you can do for the elderly and those who have no place to turn when age came upon them.

 

DO NOT BE INDIFFERENT. See your own beauty deep in the fullness of your heart.
