Who Me, Stealing?

Below is my reflection to the article written by Constance Habash:
​
As I understand, desire or greed of stealing or non-stealing is born in our mind. When I am aware of what is happening in my mind, my desire or greed for getting something that does not belong to me, I consciously refrain from that selfish grip and move into the non-stealing zone. Non-stealing means being open, honest, free, and truthful with myself and following the inner voice of wisdom. My self-awareness and non-selfish actions keep me rooted in non-stealing state of my consciousness. This process of self-awareness, knowing Asteya, and following Truth is an ongoing spiritual journey to me.

Non-judgemental self-awareness, thoughtfulness and humbleness help me walk on this spiritual path. I take time to learn from wisdom traditions, discuss spiritual teachings with like-minded people and embody the knowing in my life. I have cultivated the attitude of being patient and persistent in my journey of life. Regular practice of mindfulness meditation helps my mind to be quiet and clear. These practices have been interwoven in my daily life. We call it Sadhana, a spiritual way of living in the world..

May we stay on this path of inner freedom, enlightenment for realizing the Truth, Fulfillment, and Peace!
Namaste!
