Reaching for the Stars


Have you seen some people look at others from the perspective of their opinions, likes and dislikes? Learn to free yourself from this trap and just look purely from innocence.
If you accept limitation, then the limitation is yours, but if you accept limitlessness, then limitlessness is yours. Why does a person want more and more of everything? The 'more' is ultimately seeking limitlessness. Limitation is like dust in your eyes. As long as it exists, your effort is to eliminate it, because it is a foreign particle.
Infinite is not other than finite. If it were so, then infinite becomes finite, for it is other than finite. Infinite is in spite of finite. It includes finite and is not limited by finite. In the same way, limitlessness includes limitation and is not other than limitation.
Very often a father gets stuck in his opinion of his son. Even if his son is changing, he cannot see it. His identity of himself and his son limits the quality of his perception. So also, the son is stuck in his opinion of his father and sees the sky through his own window........ thereby assuming, that the sky is limited to the shape of his window.
There is a law of gravitation and a law of grace. In occultism, the law of gravitation is that which pulls us to the earth, our attachments, likes and dislikes... When one is pure, one experiences a sense of lightness and also towards heaven. Heaven is not a place; it is a state of being where one experiences a sense of relaxation and lightness.
To rise to the level of the stars is the law of grace. This is opposed to the law of gravitation that drags us down to the earth. Why do you want to be limited to the earth, when you can fly up to the sky? Why be a dwarf when you can be a giant?
Why do you cling to your ignorance, your impurity that keeps you low? This makes you ugly. You can grow to the heights of purity, kindness, forgiveness and bliss. Allow that to happen by dropping your likes, dislikes, anger, jealousy.......
What constitutes the soul of the law of grace is inner freedom. Free yourself from all limitations of the mind, its likes and dislikes.

Have you observed that whenever you are angry or sad, you feel very heavy and burdened? This is the law of gravitation. Have you also observed that whenever you are loving, kind, inwardly free, you feel you are floating and flying? This is the law of grace.
