In Between & Differing Opinions
(Payal Pankhi)
In between Listen to the silence in between the sounds. And you will greatly improve your understanding of all that you hear.
Experience the stillness in between your thoughts. And your thoughts will have greater power, greater meaning, greater purpose.
Give just as much care and attention to the relaxation between the efforts as you do to the actual efforts. And those efforts will become immensely more effective.
When life gets too far out of balance, it cannot continue on that same path for very long. When the noise, the frenzy and the striving seem overwhelming, direct your focus to the silence, the stillness, the time for relaxation.
Give your awareness not only to the things that demand it. Give your awareness also to the quiet, peaceful stillness from which those things arise.
In between the sounds, in between the thoughts, in between the efforts, the sights, the complexities and the activities, there is much treasure to be found. In between the demands of the outer world, is the inner substance to keep you going.
Differing opinions
Seek to understand those with whom you disagree. And you'll learn to better understand yourself. Look at life from someone else's perspective. And your own perspective will become more valuable.
No two people experience the world in exactly the same way. That is one big thing that makes life so interesting, and the possibilities so abundant.
The opinions of others in no way threaten your own opinions. In fact, the opinions of others can help you to refine and strengthen your own unique perspective.
If you assume that you are right and everyone else is wrong, then you shut yourself off from valuable growth and learning. If you close your mind out of fear that someone else might change it, you're certainly not showing very much confidence in your own opinions.
Give your opinions and beliefs the respect they deserve by opening them up to challenge and criticism. That is what will make them stronger, more sincere, and of more value to everyone.
