Continued from Part 8
If love is not filled up in my whole self in all my koshas how is this love going to go out? And we are busy trying to give love to people. We are trying to heal others while we are unhealed.
We are trying to bless others. Inside we are cursing ourselves. It will not work. The teachings of “give love to everyone” or “accept everyone” will not work until these are first directed to yourself.
Forget about the world for the time being. Take 5 months, 6 months. Leave the world to itself. Take care of your world. Take a vow. Take a sankalpa.
That I am not going to be bothering about this world. I don’t want to heal anybody. I don’t want to grace anybody. I don’t want to shower anybody with my love or pamper others. I am going to pamper myself. I am going to love myself. Grace myself. Heal myself. Nourish myself. First fill my whole cup myself. Then let the cup overflow on its own.
Please understand this what I am telling. Cup should overflow from you. Love should overflow from you. Grace, healing, energies, consciousness, presence should overflow from your cup. If you try to give it outside you will fail. If you are empty you cannot give.
So I am telling love yourself first. Heal yourself. Take care of yourself. Pamper yourself. Nourish yourself. Remove all the wrong labels that the people have put on you.
Your parents, your relatives, your family, your friends, your society, your schools, your universities who have programmed and told you are not enough. You are not good. You are not loveable. You are bad. You are this. You are that. You are good for nothing.
Remove all those labels first by healing yourself. You don’t need anybody’s validation now. You don’t need anybody to tell you whether you are good or bad. You have enough in awareness to understand what you are. Why should you depend on the world to tell you what you are.
If anybody comes to tell you you are good or you are bad, say thank you. I know who I am, what I am. I don’t need any introduction. I am capable of understanding myself and defining myself. I don’t need any definition from anybody. Enough of labels you guys have all put on me, the world. Enough now.
Then check whether what is the truth in what they are saying is the truth. You will see that everybody are false about you. Because can do others know about your consciousness? What does the world know about your consciousness? Then how can they label you? How can anybody tell you what you are worthy of? Others define you when you are not aware of who you are.
That’s the problem. When you are not understanding your own worth, the world will define your worth. Be careful. The world is labelling you. The world is valuing you or devaluing you because you are not realised your own self, your own worth. If you do not understand your validity, mind you, the world will tell you your validity.
If you do not know who you are, remember this always, the world will tell you who you are and who you should be. And then you will become what the world wants you to become. Get the point?
Why this is happening? Because we are not subjective. We are not present.
We are not available here to ourselves. We are busy, available to everybody. You will be disappointed by the end of life.
When you have been only available to the world, you will say, I deprived myself. You will not even say, I deprived myself. You will say, the world deprived me.
Because I gave so much to this world and the world cares a damn about me. Please understand, the world cannot give you because the world itself is empty. What can empty cups give you?
Like you, they are also searching outside. They don’t have their cups full. What are you expecting them to give? It’s like an empty cup seeking from an empty cup. So understand the reality of nature.
Understand the reality of life. How life functions. What is life?
The nature, the prakriti of life, if you understand, you will change. If you don’t understand, you will be busy chasing these things only. And then you say, I am not healed.
What can I do to be healed? First, stop depending on others to be healed, to be loved, to be cared. Nourish yourself.
