PERFECTIONS AND IMPERFECTIONS

All our mythological events whether it is Ramayana, Mahabharata or Bible or Koran has given us tremendous lessons for leading our lives.

When Lord Krishna approached Duryodhana – He tells Krishna- “Krishna I know what is right but I am not able to indulge in it”. “And also know what is wrong, but I am not able to avoid it.” This is called as Duryodhana’s predicament.

If you think about it – We are all Duryodhana in one form or another. Only the degree varies. All of us in some way I know what is right but we are unable to indulge in it. We all know what is wrong and not able to avoid it. None of us are exceptions to it. It is just that some of us are 10% Duryodhana, some are 25% and some are 50%. Some are Duryodhana’s incarnation -100%. There are some people who will give a complex to Duryodhana and if he sees them, he will probably say “Oh my god, I am better than these people”.

The question is when we deal with this Duryodhana predicament with people who we come across in our life that they know what is right, they are not indulging in it, they know what is wrong, and they are unable to avoid and continue to do, how do we deal with them and go through this. First, you go through that by understanding that there is a Duryodhana within you as well. I recall what Leo Buscaglia, which is something very beautiful –“I will not expect perfection from you until I make myself perfect”. This means you are safe for the lifetime.

We all, as human beings, come as a package with some perfection and some imperfections and only the degree varies in the areas of thinking, attitude, behavior, responses etc. Accept people as what they are with those perfections and imperfections. If we can understand this, we become less judgmental, more positive in our living.

Wishing you all a Very Happy and a Prosperous New Year 2017.

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend

Be Blissful.
