I recently cut my finger very badly on a piece of glass...., following which I would
hit my finger again and again at the same spot. I am sure you also have noticed this in
your life as well….The weak spot is under attack. I became very alert to this phenomenon. Initially, I thought I
was just getting more aware, when actually I might be frequently hitting that spot in my finger otherwise as well owing to my general clumsiness. But I noticed it would get hit in very
unpredictable and out-of-the-ordinary ways.
Why does that happen? The weak spot has to be protected with extra care, as
there do seem to be some powers that seek for it.
'Elimination of the
weak'? There do seem
to be some energies that work on eliminating the unfit. The weak deer of the pack is left behind and is caught. The shark is said to be able to smell even a drop of blood in the ocean and come for it. Somehow the weak spot does seem to have a vibe that brings to it the powers that attack on it and eliminate it. It is a blind power. But it can be surmounted. When the inner strength rises to the challenge, it can indeed subdue these forces.
Nobody can ride your back unless it is bent. You might say that you
weren’t weak and yet you were dominated upon. Think carefully, you might not
have noticed that weakness. Sometimes one's goodness can become a weakness…rather,
one's gullibility. Have you noticed how the manipulative people don’t even trust the most straightforward person, and how the good man trusts even the wilest one? It is trust that
can be betrayed not mistrust. This can
be said of an individual, and it can be said about a nation. India as a country is weak because of its tolerance.
It's an easy going attitude towards many things that makes it the target of terror forces time and again.
One has to learn to see objectively, rather than see others as we
see ourselves. Innocence on its own is not always a virtue; one has to learn to be wise as a serpent even when
innocent as a dove. One needs to learn toughness, hardness and decisiveness.
When the eliminating energies begin to revolve around you, use its prodding to bring out
the insurmountable power within you that is above all powers. Become more, and
rise above your weakness. Then you would be fit enough to survive.
It is said that one's past life sins are responsible for the tragedies of the current life. I cannot believe that when I consider Abel who was the son of the first man Adam. He was murdered by his brother Cain. He was a victim of jealousy. His was obviously a
first birth and his past life sins can definitely not be responsible! I had been looking up the regression session readings of some people. A farmer’s earlier birth
had been of a chemistry professor. A poor girl's earlier birth had been of a
preacher in church…It is then not always a progression to a better birth!!?? A sage in one mythological story was born in the next birth as a deer because he had got attached to a deer during his final years in the forest!!
It may not be just about desire and attachment though. Maybe the life of a chemistry teacher failed to teach
somethings that the life of a farmer could? To get a clear idea of anything, we
need to see life from different perspectives, we need to see life through
different kinds of eyes. Death can only kill the body. Just as in a play, there is no real loss, but only
lessons gained, buried in the spirit, which need to be tapped into and
opened to reach our own fullness by gaining this complete view. Each life may
show us a different aspect of a bigger truth; such as 'a different part of the elephant,' but if we stay blind we will not see
the tail to be a part of something bigger.
With each episode in life, we are meant to open our
eyes..wider...., and connect the links to get the whole picture. With each attack on us, we are meant to recognise our weak spots, and are supposed to eliminate them one by one until we are unconquerable.
