My Faults





Me : With the faults that I see in myself, I am not sure if I am doing any spiritual progress at all. I have so many glaring weaknesses within me ..    


Voice : Thats arrogant.


Me : Now what's arrogant about this ?  


Voice : You tend to feel you are expressing humility by making that statement about your faults. In fact, it comes from arrogance and pride. Notice the ‘I' and ‘Me' in that statement. Only someone full of himself has a eye on his qualities.  


Me : Oh 


Voice : You highlight and notice your weaknesses and qualities only because you remember yourself more than God. Although, I can't notice any 'faults' in you.  


One who is absorbed in God is blissfully ignorant about his attributes. And, it's very likely he would be beyond judgement of others, too.


When you are attentive only on God, everything that you think would matter, just fades away in the background.   


Me : How do you always manage a contrarian view to everything I say ! 


Voice : ...The same way you manage a contrarian way of living since lifetimes.
