Uniqueness

We are all unique in different ways. However, sometimes we feel victimised because of our uniqueness. We feel that the world is ridiculing us for our decisions. That may happen because people sometimes prefer the easy way out to the right way out. Those who follow the path of righteousness may be ridiculed if the rest of the world don’t understand why they are standing firm on the path of Dharma. But remember that once we are following Kanhaji's word and we are being true to our religious principles then we should be proud of what we are doing and not let others upset us. Many times people try to break us and upset us but we have to remember that Kanhaji is the only one we should really listen to, even if those closest to us try to steer us on the wrong path it is up to us to show them the right path instead. We have a responsibility to ourselves and to Kanhaji to carry on His words – teach them to those closest to us. I read an article a little while ago that spoke about Hindu children converting and how hurt parents feel. They say that for years they keep telling their children about accepting other religions and that they are all the same. But they are not. Hinduism is the only religion of acceptance. It is also the oldest religion in the world. All the religious principles taught can be used today. Things spoken of in the religious texts have meaning to Hindus and we must teach our children that like all religions, there are aspects that we do not like. However, it is up to us to promote what we do believe in and the bhakti movement of worshipping certain aspects of Vishnu in particular has been especially helpful to me. For me Kanhaji is the one to follow always. We should all try to find a connection with God and I have found mine with Kanhaji. I know that I cannot ever forget Him and that He will be with me always. Jai Shri Krishna!
