We all are only human and all we can do is to "aspire" to the best of our capacities to get established in the selfless spirit of the Dharma of loving kindness and compassion. I sure have seen the "highest and wisest of yogis" and the "most educated spiritualists" to be nothing but cruel in their personal lives and behavior towards others when being guided by personal self-interest (perhaps we all have the inclination to be that way, to be just out for ourselves... but we also know that we can strife to do much better than that! :-). Perhaps choosing the options of being IMPARTIAL comes in handy here. For instance, if you see that a person behaves unkind or selfish in one moment - but for the most part gives overall good contributions to society, family and friends - through wonderful service which is given with joy - we have the option to leave personal "likes and dislikes" aside, and encourage the benevolent side of that person. However, we all can only try to do our best to help, support and forgive, and stay positive regardless of what circumstance is presented. Self-analysis is of value if it's not overdone. Often I found, that there is something charming about " just being" human and not being perfect :-))). - We can perhaps see life in a more relaxed state of mind, every day new and fresh, and find clarity in "what is".

I often remember that Milarepa was a hardened criminal before he became enlightened. There is much hope for everybody to evolve anytime. Depending on our capacity for determination, we all move towards the clear light NOW. Sometimes I found that the overly "detached cold hearts" of "so-called spiritualists and yogis" are more challenging to deal with than the mistakes people make outside of an idealistic spiritual path due to their innate deeply open and vulnerable humanity, which give rise to the opportunity to bring forth the necessary understanding and compassion needed to create true and lasting change. I sure can see however, how any disharmony creates confusion in our dealings with "what is." Sometimes it is as if there is no land in sight in the cold waters of life. In that case it's wise to remember the Divine (your Yidam, deity, Jesus, angel, or ista'devata) so that we continue to always feel loved and supported at all times from the inside out - instead from the outside in. Just accept yourself as you are. :-) - We all are beautiful beyond measure.

Much hope for peace and harmony! :-)))
