Acceptance: Can I accept it and choose peace?

Photo: Acceptance: Can I accept it and choose peace?

There is something divine about acceptance. Accepting others as they are immediately infuses peace in every atom of your existence. Non-acceptance is synonymous to resistance, it requires challenging, it is comparable to swimming against the flow, it is always harder. 

Think of two different people, it is spring and flowers are in full bloom. One's body accepts pollen and he remains healthy. Other person's body rejects it as foreign matter, it tries to fight with it, as a result, mucus formation takes place and he suffers from hay fever and the rest. Similarly, you need a fighting system, a coping mechanism only when you cannot accept. There is no reaction if there is no resistance.

For as long as you are dependent on others to make you feel good, to make you happy, they will continue to mold, affect and dictate your state of happiness. It is important to differentiate between accepting people versus circumstances though. You cannot change people but their existence or absence in your life can change your circumstances. If you are unhappy with people, you need to look into yourself for all the answers and solutions and if you are not happy with your circumstances, you need to work towards changing them.

Acceptance does not mean you no longer work towards what matters to you, it means you do not let your present circumstances or the outcome affect your state of peace.

Om Namah Shivay.
