Gentleness
GurujiMa | August 21, 2022
Gentleness is a balm for the soul that is striving to become. It eliminates the sense of harshness when what one wishes for or has as a goal is not immediately available. Self-criticism, based on illusion, is what we think will get us faster to the goal that we seek. But that is not the case. It is an illusion.
Gentleness is a quality of love that we don’t often apply to ourselves, in fact we may not even think of it at all. But if we did, so much would be different in our experience. To begin with, we would be patient with ourselves, less judgmental, the need to be critical would be gone. And when the need to be critical of our own self is gone, then the need to be critical of others is also gone.
