Inner Truth: Do You Understand Yourself?

Man hides his own emotional needs, desires, and weaknesses from his own self. Only if he could acknowledge his fallacies and begin to work with wisdom, he wouldn’t be throwing dirt on others. When you are angry, then whosoever is in front of you will be in the line of your fire. You’ll shoot him with the bullets of anger, frustration and hatred. The other person will obviously be baffled. Before we yell in desperation that no one understands you, the question arises: “Do you understand yourself?” Man is so blinded that never registers his own emotional baggage which he is always carrying with him. 

A tree which is firm in its roots can withstand winds and floods. The tree which is weak in its roots can be easily uprooted even by frail jolt. You can’t be a better husband, mother, friend, wife, brother, business partner to anyone if you aren’t rooted in self. Every relationship is different from the other but most of the time basic problems are the same. I am a pauper – the other is a pauper; but we wish to be rich by joining together. We all wish that the other should fulfill you, but the question is can anyone really do it? Everyone in society is moving around with empty bowls, and everyone wants to be rich.

Know this that no one can make you rich, no one can fulfill you, and no one can give meaning to your life. The fact remains that no one but you can do this for yourself. So stop hankering for appreciation from other. Learn to explore your inner core, your untapped energy source and rejoice in it. Love yourself, respect yourself and every one will send the same vibes to you. Unbelievable, but true! 

Thank this body, breathe and live. Give thanks for every little joy which life brings to you and smile. Smile like you have never smiled before and move into deeper recesses of your heart to find yourself. The search for your self will bring you joy and love.
