Why the divided essence of our soul?
It does not necessarily mean that we are two-faced and we scheme and we hide our real selves from the world. It does not even mean that the intentions are always malicious. Just that- we are not the same from the inside and the outside as a human being, as a Self, should be.
Take a glass of water.
Pure in its contents, as a soul should be.
Add in generous spoonfuls of oil.
A nice, thick layer of oil forms thus dividing air and water.
What do we have?
Two liquid layers.
I won’t say they are acting as one since though they are in one container, in a single physical form; they have quite clearly made their identity known.
Essence of the liquid- divided.
What if I do the same to your goldfish bowl?
The fish will die. Why?
The layer of oil prevents the water from getting atmospheric oxygen.
The fish suffocates and consequently dies.
An addition of a layer, which does not complement the first, suffocates the Life of the true One.
Try blocking your inner self with something quite the opposite.
Love dies when you coat it with hatred/indifference/denial.
We can’t be Frank Souls out there.
We need to think of the Words we are going to say and about the people who are going to listen to them. There are Manners to be thought of, Respect to be maintained and earned, Etiquettes to be sure of and Subtlety which is a must.
Coating our emotions is a must. Being impulsive pays no debts.
Dissolving Hatred and dissolving Love by convincing oneself is alright… but on no accounts should one enter a state of Denial. It’s hopeless. Interestingly, both the methods involve coating of emotions so it is purely dependent on the individual and his/her maturity.
Strangling of One’s soul and emotions is Self Murder.
Key is to know the difference between ‘coating’ and ‘strangling’.
Denying this murder is the easiest thing ever known…
