The Ladder of Truth Within

The Ladder of Truth Within

Waheguru.

The question is: Where is the line between humility, looking weak, and lacking confidence?

Because we all are walking on the path of HKL, we must have crystal clear understanding about humility.

This must be understood very clearly that the child, little child always remains connected with their insides, with eyes closed. And as the child grows and enters into the 11-12 years, then their, his or her, attention, is pulled outside.

He is forced to leave his home, because he is shown so mesmerizing interesting things outside. So he is pulled outside of his home, and he is shown so much at that tender age. And he becomes entangled in those things, that he completely forgets that he is living out of his home.

He doesn't know where his home is. He doesn't know what teachings he was imparted with at home. Now, he remains outside all the time, day and night, his attention remains focused on some people, some places, some things, some jobs, so many things.

He doesn't know how to live, he is just reacting. Everybody is outside, and they don't know, everybody is separated from their own beings.

That young person is pulled out of their home, he is separated from their own selves, and outside is everybody separated from their own selves and everybody is living in an illusionary world.

Everybody is living in a dream world, ‘‘I want a house like that!’’, dreams, dreams, dreams… ‘‘My dream is this!’’. And those dreams never get realised.

Nobody is living outside; they are reacting to each other’s behaviour. They don't know who they are, they don't know where they are standing, they don't know where they are sitting, they don't know who they are, because they have been separated from themselves.

When, with good fortune and His grace, we start waking up through meditation, and practising the daily HKL practises. 

When we start waking up, and we are told that you always remain connected to earth, which is the most humble out of all of His creation. You always remain connected with the most humble being, the earth, and you are always moving within God, God is not away from you, you are within God, outside, and God is within you too.

And when this is understood, when one wakes up, everything changes for him/her; ‘‘I am standing in God?’’ Yes! He cannot be seen with these eyes, but this is God. You are always within God, sitting, standing, eating, sleeping, working, and you are always connected with the most humble of His creation.

With this understanding, with this knowledge, we wake up, and that state of consciousness cannot be talked about, that can only be experienced. That is the state of consciousness of humility.

Humility is a state of consciousness. It has got absolutely nothing with the outward world. You would meet a beggar with the same humility, same respect, as you meet a King, because you are living naturally, as God created you.

For you, King and beggar are no different, they both are temples of God. King and beggar, tomorrow the beggar could be a King and the King could be a beggar! But one thing for certain, never changing, that they both are temples of God. This state is humility. 

So, the question of looking weak, or lacking confidence, doesn't arise. 

There is God within this body. And when with good fortune, we get to listen to the truth, we feel the pain of separation from ourselves. We recognise I am always away from home, I am always away from myself. I don't even know who I am.

We are shown, sun and moon, that both of them, they rise with such stillness, with such tranquility, that they rise in total tranquility, they move in total tranquility and then they, in total tranquility, disappear into the other side, while remaining in deep peace, tranquility. There is no anxiety, there are no worries, there is no sadness, there is no reaction.

So, this tranquility of life is the most beautiful aspect, and this we can only experience when we wake up. Humility, kindness and love emerge from there.

Worship the heart area. Worship the heart area, that's where you're supposed to live. This consciousness which is wandering outside, it's home is there at the heart area.

Come home, dwell there, that's where you are going to see who you are. Worship this place, because this is such a blessed place, the heart area.

This is where your rebirth is going to happen. This ‘you’, who have been wandering outside, when you go there, you would be transformed, and then you would see who you are. You are the same Divine Light.

His womb is the womb of love. I'm going to be given rebirth from the womb of love. HKL.
