Proud or grateful?

The heart knows humbleness, it does not know pride. When you’re proud of achieving something, that’s your Ego thinking that somehow it’s your special praiseworthy… And this is possible only when you think you’re separate from All, from Universe, from God, and you take on your behalf whatever it is in your life. The moment you realize that it is a greater power manifesting through you, as well as through others and through every event in your life, you become humble and grateful for being chosen as a tool in this infinite Universe that we’re all part of. When you Know you’re One with everything that is life, then you can feel only love, humbleness and gratitude for the greatness of All there IS.

Then you'll not be proud anymore for your shiny car and for your beautiful cozy house, but you'll be grateful for using them. Then you'll not be proud for your success at work, but you'll feel gratitude to have fulfilled your role.

Then you will not be proud anymore that your partner is beautiful, intelligent, charming, tender, sensible, wise, loving, special… You will not be proud anymore that you have him or her as a partner. Rather, you’ll feel gratitude for him or her being in your life. You’ll thank the Universe that your life has been touched by another life… You’ll feel blessed that you have enriched each other’s existence…

When you’re in your mind, you are proud.

When you’re in your heart, you feel humble and grateful.

That’s the difference between mind and heart, between thinking you’re in love and loving.

Love,
Priya
