Mistaking The World We've Made For The Real World

Based on George Saunders article, below is my reflection to it:

"Yatha drushti tatha srushti" is an old wise saying in Sanskrit. As is my vision so is my world.
What is my vision made of? Is it made up of my self interest, self- serving purpose then my world view will be narrow. If my vision of the world is shaped by going beyond my self-serving purpose, then a transformation takes place in my outlook, actions and ways of living my life. I transcend my ego-what is in for me, and I go beyond my self-serving narrow world. I feel others are me. My consciousness becomes larger and higher. I go thriving beyond surviving. I feel a part of the lager world, a citizen of the unaverse. A universe in which we relate to each other as brothers and sisters. Going beyond oneself is a spiritual journey. It has not been easy for me to go beyond myself.
My parents were good role models for me. I learned from them how to live spiritually, how to serve others unselfishly, how to go beyond my self -serving thinking and behaving. How not get attached to my egoistic desires, thinking and behaving. It took time for me to internalize this teaching. I slowly and gradually acquire these spiritual qualities and I am very grateful to them for helping me to walk on this less traveled road. Spiritual practices like Mindfulness Meditation and Mindfulness living have been very helpful to me for staying on the course. My inner life is getting filled with kindness, compassion, contentment and joy.

Namaste!
