Do you covet or are things offered to you?

One of the basic patters that human beings carry deep inside is “Am I qualified for all these things?”.  As long as you feel you are not qualified, you will be stealing from life.  The more you are stealing, the more you will feel insecure.  The more insecure you feel, the more you will feel you are not qualified.  The first verse of the first Upanishad asks you to break that pattern and live a life of enriching where everything is offered to you.

Eeshaavaasyamidham Sarvam Yathkincha Jagathyaam Jagath

Thena Thyakthena Bhunjeethaa Maa Gridhah Kasyasviddhanam

The first part of this verse is a truth revealed: Cognizing whatever is, is change established in changing, and this whole thing is filled with Consciousness and intelligence.

The second part of this verse is an instruction: With this renounced, you may enjoy.  Covet not the wealth of anyone at all.

You are qualified for what you have in life

Everything you are having, and you want to have, you are qualified for all that and much more, because, life is celebrating itself through you!  You may not be qualified to have all of them; but, life is qualified to celebrate all this through you!

Impact of self-doubt

The deep-rooted pattern of self-doubt – ‘Am I qualified for all this?’ – will not allow you to be blissful for more than ten minutes.  It is unfortunate, even you don’t believe you are qualified for celebration.

Cognition for a blissful life

Whatever change, whether you perceive it as good or bad, is consciously done to you by the higher consciousness which is more intelligent than you.  If you look at your life with this cognition, for all the so-called bad things, you will see the reason, “Wow!  Life is asking me to reinvent myself”; for all the good things, you will see, “I am qualified, life wants to celebrate through me”.  The moment you understand you are qualified and life wants to celebrate through you, you will settle with so much of peace and joy!  It will take away the insecurity you carry.

The moment you know that you are qualified, you will not bother to covet anyone’s due.  You will never feel like coveting, grabbing somebody else’s wealth.  Wealth does not mean only money, gold, jewellery etc., even coveting, grabbing somebody’s attention, coveting, grabbing, stealing anything which belongs to somebody else.

Anything which you take from others, which is not enriching them, is “coveting”.

In life, all transactions are either coveting or offering.  Whether it is a simple smile, or billion dollars, anything, if you are enriching, and others share it, it is “offering”.  If you are not enriching, and taking it, it is “coveting”.

Declare that you will enrich and not covet

Whether it is relationship with your body, relationship with other person, your career, your attitude towards life and world, human society, anybody, decide, from today:

What I see is change established in change.  It is filled with Consciousness.  Life wants to celebrate itself through me and life is qualified to do so.  I will enjoy by enriching and there is no need to grab or covet from anyone or anything at all.
