You are unique and a miracle of life and in your heart, soul and mind you have the gifts of wisdom, strength and determination, humility love and compassion.
• Humility. Yes we all have the gift of humility; it is a gift from the heart and soul which is often subdued when the ego of our conscious mind overwhelms our understanding of others and their feelings. We must never forget, although each of us in our mind is the centre of the universe, it is only in our minds. The gift of humility recognises we all see ourselves as the centre of our particular universe. We might be the best, the richest, the most powerful, and even get the most accolades for what we are or have done but it doesn't mean we are superior in every way to another. In fact in some way or another every one of us are superior to all others. With humility whatever we say or do, respects the thoughts and feelings of others.
• Love. Yes we all love to be loved and believe it is one of greatest gifts we can receive, but really we are appreciating another's ability to give us their gift of love. We cannot control the love we receive, that is another's gift to give as they wish. Our gift is the ability to give love and the more we give the more we receive. Love is a gift when we give a bit of our hearts and souls to another and it is their response which gives us pleasure. If you don't give love the feelings you receive may be ones of idolisation or even fear masquerading as love. If you want love you must give it and give it from your heart and soul. The ability to give love is dependent on your ability to respond to your heart and soul. Those who have permitted their conscious mind to subdue their soul will find it difficult to give love and the feelings they receive will most probably be feelings masquerading as love.
• Compassion. A gift which comes easily to those who have the gifts of humility and love. Even those with these gifts find it easier to be compassionate when those near and dear are involved, it is always more difficult when it is strangers and impossible or almost impossible if the person requiring compassion has shown little or no compassion to others particularly to yourself, those you hold dear or the helpless. Only saints with absolute humility and love who know what it is like to walk a mile in everybody else's shoes can give this gift of compassion without judgement. Don't confuse forgiveness with compassion; never forget forgiveness assumes the right to pass judgement.
This is the fifth article in a series related to Spiritual Enlightenment, so accept and nurture the gifts of humility, love and compassion. Bye for now. Paul aka Arlen
