Today, I had a spiritual experience at work.
I had a conversation with someone at work. In conversation, I found I was judging them.
At some point in the afternoon, I took a walk outside in the cold air. Few people were walking around, so I took a seat somewhere secluded.
I sat and meditated on Yogananda. I came to realize in this state, that the person I was juding came to my mind and I felt this thought: Do you realize you are one with this person? What do you get by judging him?
I realized that judging this other person, was solidifing my eronious belief that I am seperate from others. It divides one from another. This division makes the ego feel "superior" and "better" than the other.
On a gross level, I realized that I and this fellow shared similar desires, issues with the ego, frustrations, fears and so forth. In that regard, we were the same.
In a more refined way, I contemplated that my spirit is not my body. My consciousness is not just in the body. If the expansion of my consciousness is infinite, then that of other people - including this person I judged, is also infinate in expansion. As such, at some point, our consciousness' would be one.
I felt better connected to this person and others around me and went back to work feeling much better in general.
