Today, there is no shortage of people who preach good words, good thoughts, and pure and selfless behavior...
But there is a need to apply them first to oneself!
Before telling others, apply it to yourself."
(Sadguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji)
Practical spirituality H.H. Satguru Hardev Singh ji always spoke about....Apt Quote " We are spiritual beings in Human Existence"
ReplyDeleteWe need to walk the walk before we talk the talk.

ReplyDeleteVery well said.
ReplyDeleteThe human ego will do anything in its power to make us seem like very enlightened, high rank, rich, sucessful individuals. This is the main theme of what EGO can be defined as. As a consequence of this fact, many times I like to preach good words, good thoughts, and conduct "selfless sewa" in hopes that maybe others will notice this character. But does that mean that I truly am following these preachings?
Am I just preaching these thoughts for others to notice me, or am I walking the talk?
If I am doing sewa at the Sungat hall, am I doing it with the same passion at home?
If I am treating Saints with the utmost respect in public, am I showing my family the same love?
Am I a kind and generous person in public, yet rude and prone to anger at home?
It is critical for us to walk the talk. For example, there are flowers in nature where on the outside they are pretty and colorful, yet on the inside are filled with thorns and poision if ingested. This is the type of flowers we are if we dont apply the outside ( preaching good thoughts, good words, etc) to the inside( where our true character lies).
Thanks for sharing Ji!
