Manifestation of Weakness
We all live at superficial level. The most ironical is, when we go to others and ask for our weaknesses and strength. Why depend on others? The answers can be found at our own. As we ask others, imperfection increases, how? Since, other also has weaknesses. And hence, what ever he will tell you are based on his scales. But how far we are sure that the scale used by him is perfect? But one thing is still sure that the greatest weakness of the human is the inability to remember the “Almighty”. All other weaknesses are just the manifestation of one ill. It is not me who is saying that, it is the greatest of all “Nanak”. We all have weaknesses that are why we are imprisoned in this body. We are so weak even to accept “The Truth”. Whatever we do is the result of weaknesses in us. Since, once we are strong in one field there is nothing left to do anything in that. Our actions signify, hide and rectify our weaknesses. But if greatest of all do anything it is the weakness in us which we see as their actions. As Vivekananda has said, “Fault you see in others is manifestation of your mind.” If we call someone thief, we see thief in him. But why see a thief in him because we know what thief is. But how we know, because it lives in us and its description, its characteristics resides in us. We hide so much from ourselves that it takes millions birth to know it. Then comes “Self Realization” which is also known as enlightment. We keep on adding layers and do virtually nothing to remove them. That is the reason we are never able to know our weaknesses. Those who are self realized know all about their weaknesses. Strength is to know about that your weaknesses, to cope with them, to face them, to accept them rather then without them. Since, only perfection has no weaknesses. That’s why by not accepting our errors we are just increasing our weaknesses. And when we say, “I am sorry for my “faulty” action”, that is the display of the strength. Faulty is the key word here. Everyone knows where he is wrong. Its only that we are afraid of revealing it even to ourselves. And where fear exists it is lack of strength and hence presence of weakness.
