Go beyond the best you think you are: The Little Manual of Enlightenment

Go beyond the best you think you are             Book Extract: The Little Manual of Enlightenment ISBN: 9788178061412 Author: Vikas Malkani Publisher: Unicorn Books (www.pustakmahal.com)   Anyone in life can do what everyone else does, which is nothing extraordinary. Do more than you think you can; take the step you think you cannot. Dare to leave security and comfort behind. The limits you have known are the ones you are secure and comfortable with. The ones you still have to explore are the ones that make you insecure and uncomfortable. See this. Then start going beyond your known self.   * Give up judgements The easiest and most unconscious thing to do is to walk around judging every moment, event and person who comes into your life. Remember that even when you judge, you do so from your own level of awareness, and if you want to raise that, you must turn your attention to yourself, inwards, not outwards towards others. Choose to be whole. Begin by consciously refusing to compromise If you give up passing judgement on yourself all, you will be a lot more tolerant and a lot more ready to accept a whole lot of things. This is how Wayne Dyer defines enlightenment: “the quiet acceptance of what is”.   * Lighten up The heart feels heavy when every thought and emotion is taken seriously, as a permanent reality. Keep in mind that your true nature is neither thought nor emotion, rather a pure, free and light spirit. Look at every moment of life through its eyes.   * Face your own fears There is really no such thing as external fear. All of it exists only within you, as a result of one or the other reason. So the next time you start to feel fear, don’t look outside you for the reason, instead look inwards. It is the inner ground you are standing on that isn’t stable. Any fear or weakness faced by looking in this new direction becomes the foundation of a new strength. Fear comes, face it. Fearlessness follows!
