Pain of Non-Acceptance
Non-acceptance and choice cause distress. As soon as someone says, ‘I like light, but do not like darkness’, he has made a choice. When he has accepted light and not accepted darkness, he has divided everything into two. He has accepted everything in the world that has light and not accepted that which has darkness. It is as if the whole world has been cut apart by a sword into two parts. In this, he will fragment himself; he cannot escape. Life will be miserable.
Accept completely whatever you get, whenever you get it. Remain content. Have no desire for anything other than what you have. If you remain choice less, nothing can disturb you. Unaffected by events, the one who remains blissful within is a true seeker.
Acceptance out of compulsion is not contentment; rather, it is helplessness, dependency and powerlessness. Sometimes acceptance may be out of lack of another alternative. Such forced acceptance becomes painful. Acceptance cannot be succumbing to a
situation. It must become an ever flowing, natural feeling within.
Om Namah Shivay.
