Lately, I've found my mind drifting into negativity. We all have seen the protests going on. Whether you support the protesters or find them frustrating - whether you are angry with the police involved or not... it stirs emotions.
For me it has stirred emotions. I recently took down several posts I had made. Some about Yogiraj and some about the Occupy movement.
The reason I took my opinion down, was due to my personal path. I was reminded of my spiritual path, when I listened to a lecture by Swami Kriyananda titled "Blessings of Discipleship."
In this short lecture, he basically said:
Don't compare with others. Everyone has their own path. Everyone has their own problems and their own germ of consciousness, which they have to work with life's experiences.
Meaning: I shouldn't be spending time mentally consuming negativity about protests, or about various people I may or may not agree with. After all, each has their own path. Each has their own problems, and their own consciousness that needs to work out their problems in their own way.
