Give The SELF a chance

We all have a higher Self within; we were born with it. Sometimes we get a fleeting glimpse of the Self when we spontaneously act out of unconditional love. Recall a sudden wave of empathy engulfing you at the sight of a man shivering in the cold that prompted you to give him clothes; picking up a wounded animal on the road; the deep sense of fulfilment on rescuing someone in trouble. These arouse an incredible flow of energy and feelings within.

Momentarily, you rise from an ordinary state of being to an extraordinary one. The shift is spontaneous, unintentional and instinctive. You forget who you are: your status, position, your miseries; you act without assigning reason and logic. Neither do you expect reward or recognition in return. These are moments when your higher Self takes over.

The Self is a vast storehouse of positive energy that propels us to extend ourselves unconditionally. We drop our masks: our ego-self, the finite, entrenched in inhibitions, doubts, hesitations. But no sooner than the ego takes over, we again restrain ourselves from reaching out. Our conditioned mind constitutes our ego-self that endorses judgements, evaluations, biases, prejudices, predispositions. We gathered all this ignorantly and continue this way out of sheer habit, impeding manifestation of the Self.

The Self is the internal abundance that can be realized at our will any time. It has the power to nourish, nurture, absorb and inspire. All we need is to have faith and surrender our ego-self to the higher Self.

Give The SELF a chance.
