The "Me" in myself

Book Summary by: ivneet    

Original Author: Ivneet Kaur
I have always bloated the “me” in
myself. For long, I have remained under the illusion that I am a very great
thing. The “I” or as mentioned, the “Me” in myself had dipped into the nadir of
vanity and arrogance. I am ignorant to all the truths about it ,rather  I closed my eyes and ears when any aorta of
truth cam nearby me. And , then when it dawned , it came upon rather harshly. I
and only I am responsible for such repercussions. I kept committing an error
after another without realizing the consequences. I did not bother to listen to
my friends and well wishers. I was blinded by my self destructible ego.
But , now I am thankful to God for
having realized before it’s too late. Indeed friends, it is never too late. The
day you realize , is a new day. The day which symbolizes hope , love, optimism
and a humble , modest confidence . Confidence in yourself and God , faith in
your friends and well wishers , love for your loved ones.
Really , there is no problem in
this world which has no solution. Every problem is solvable provided we want to
solve it. This requires a determination and lots of patience. And  this is possible if you want to solve it.
            One must
always have confidence in themselves. But confidence is what drives you to get
what you want and makes you feel satisfied irrespective of success or failure.
It makes you realize the importance of other things around you which are
equally important in your success or failure. The problem arises when we exceed
our confidence level to rather huge and unknown heights without realizing. We
start believing that we do not need anyone . We personify our greatness to such
an extent that we become ungrateful . We become selfish , obsessive ,
possessive and jealous . This is when we deviate from our path. We start
wasting time , resources and energy on petty , mindless issues. We create a
black hole around ourselves sucking ourselves deeply into it and oblivious to
the truth of the world.
            And when
the fall comes , we do not what to do . That’s when we are alone. But look at
the kind and benevolent God, he gives you another chance. Someone has rightly
said ,
“Man gets and
forgets
God gives and
forgives”
            We must
realize the truth . This world is materialistic . I don’t mean one has to
renounce the world. But one has to do their work or “karma” without forgetting
their path and principles or “dharma”. One has to distinguish between the good
and the bad . One has to know and accept the greatness of the “Great One”. And
for that one has to be humble to understand these simple and basic essence of
life. It may sound very funny , may be people will condemn it. But believe me ,
what you sow is what you reap. You will understand the truth , some learn it
sooner, some learn it later. But you will learn.
