A human being, who is potentially divine, has a wealth of values and beauties in him which give him strength. He should live in this world as per his inner strength which should influence the outer world. Man should be so strong internally that nothing from outer world should influence him which is not in line with his belief system.
When we are young we adopt a belief system for ourselves as per the advice of our parents. When we grow up we create our own belief system. Since our belief system has a complete hold on our character we must adopt a positive belief system. By doing so we develop a strong value system which creates virtues inside us and we thus learn the art of living inside out.
When we start living a spiritually enriched life, it is a win-win situation. We get inclined to catch higher values of life and practice them in day to day life. The influence of our lower self gets washed away automatically.
In spiritual life we experience oneness with others where there is no separateness. The oneness with others enables us to see ourselves in all and all in our self. Living in a highest state of consciousness, our desires get sublimated and we get noble desires to live a life of helpfulness, blissfulness, with an aim to do something whole heartedly for the higher cause. We understand that we have come into life to give help and not hurt and harm. Our personal desires convert into universal desires.
Going within is the start point of living from within. Going within means self-introspection to have a correct assessment of your own self.
Self-development means living a healthy and value-based life. It emphasises on development of mind and our consciousness. Looking inwards helps us to recognise and clean the dirt within. Our biggest impurity is our self-centeredness. Due to this we do not get concerned to do something good for the society.
Self-development is the foundation of society’s development. When we say the society is lacking in moral values, it is because we as individuals are imperfect. The golden rule is that we must get rid of all the ills of the society from within us first. We have to become an embodiment of values ourselves to be self-governed. Only then we will be able to do everything whole heartedly with full enthusiasm.
When you live in 100 per cent in God consciousness, there remains no vacuum in you. It is the vacuum inside you which gives you a feeling of incompleteness and which permits outer conditions to settle in you. With vacuum inside, you have expectations from others. You expect from others that they should talk good things about you. The reason is that the vacuum inside you creates loneliness, which you want to be removed by outer conditions.
When we have completeness inside us, nothing from outside penetrates into us to cause any hurt. The love, peace and goodness inside you will be overflowing and will affect those who come into your contact. Then you are giving to others without making any effort. Our life becomes meaningful, and we become role models for others.
