Conditions - of our life: we ourselves create them

10/26/2011

So many people complain about the bad conditions they are forced to live in! They feel they are victims of fate, of society, of their boss, even of their family… No, they must understand that first and foremost they are their own victims: they are the ones who consciously or unconsciously created their present conditions in life by having particular thoughts and feelings in their past lives and taking the actions they took. If they alter their behaviour and their state of mind, conditions will change in their next life, and even in this one. Yes, depending on your attitude, conditions can change now. So long as you think your external, material situations are the deciding factors and you improve nothing within yourself, you will continue to attract the same deplorable conditions. But if you give priority to the spirit, to light and strength, your conditions will eventually be modelled on these divine principles. Since what is below is like what is above, in time what is above will also be realized below.
