[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 166105, member: 16886"] [SIZE=3] You are correct that we fall prey too easily to these worldly illusions. Sometimes even doing seva for some gives them a false ego enhancer, making themselves feel better than others around them. Seeing these examples around me, I sometimes try very hard to not put a value in terms of time or money on any seva I do. I fear that it can give this false sense of pride and ego. Thus, something that looks like a very good and physical deed being carried out by me, may actually be keeping me on my toes and aware of this ego, this me, me, me...I've done this,this,this... is something that I fear too much even when I am exposing good around me. These are the tests you mention that keep occuring. The more we progress the more different forms and disguises we encounter. Me personally, I find that simran helps keep my feet on the ground a little better. Maybe it does enhance my awareness so that I am able to view the mirror that is always infront of me reflecting me, or seeing how the lord may be viewing me. This approach helps to conquer my weakness but it doesn't make me more closer to perfection. I find the closer I get to try and better myself, the more unexpected opportunities arise that move the goals further, OR maybe I keep becoming more and more aware and conscious of what to and what not to avoid. For eg.. I may be on my way to do a driving test. On the way, I meet a tramp and then I decide to help and buy them breakfast and give money for them to purchase food later. Now, on my way to the test it may seem so easy for me to get false ego and pride in what I've done, so that if I pass I would feel that I deserved it.!!- This feeling can come on quite easily and in the past I wasn't always aware of it. But this is the kind that I'm talking about, that we must conquer and eradicate. I should instead be thinking that I should have helped this poor person on a daily basis in the past, and that I should be planning to help them tomorrow and the future. So, just by me helping and doing this seva is not the end of it, it actually is the beginning of an encounter that will leave me feeling one way or the other. But it is all so easy for us to think, i've done my bit, now it's someone elses turn!!! --These thoughts and feelings we must try to eradicate. Once embarking on such a charitble cause should be the beginning of a new journey not just -I have spare time, spare cash, so I can help. It's this part after and commitment to carry on regardless that I find most challenging. Waheguru [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
