Comparison is Pure Illusion

POWERFULNESS IS YOUR REAL NATURE.

“Completion with yourself raises you to the level of Enlightenment and liberates you from the cognition of comparing yourself with others and keeping yourself in a very low level.”

One of the natural tendencies for you is comparing yourself with others. And, whether you compare yourself with the people whom you think higher than you or whom you think lower than you, you are going to fall into the space of powerlessness. Whether you think there are some people who are higher than you and you compare with them or lower than you and compare with them, both ways you will fall into powerlessness.

If you compare yourself with the people
whom you think higher than you, you
will fall into the powerless space of
guilt, giving up on you, the idea you
are not worthy enough; you will fall
into all these powerless spaces.

If you compare yourself with people
whom you think who are lower than
you, again you will fall into the
superiority complex, arrogance, which
is also a powerlessness.

NEGATIVE COMPARISON LEADS TO DESTRUCTION

Whether you compare yourself
with people whom you think are
higher than you or you think are
lower than you, you are in the
space of powerlessness and you
are destroying yourself. And you
are going to destroy yourself
unless you raise yourself, unless
you complete with yourself.

The first thing will hit you is, the moment you compare yourself with the people higher than you, you will become powerless. You will shiver, you will shake. You will shiver; you will lose confidence over your powerful space. You will think the powerfulness happened in you only as an accident but your nature is powerlessness. You will come to the wrong conclusions about you which is the biggest curse. It is life imprisonment.

Whoever you may be, if you have a
wrong idea about you, you are in life
imprisonment.
