Aparnaa Bajpai Instagram – “Ahímsã” People can only meet you as deeply as they have met themselves. If you don’t have compassion to your own self, if you’re always inflicting pain upon yourself through words, thoughts or deeds, If you’re always criticizing or judging your own self, If you’re always victimizing yourself and blaming the circumstances for your life, If you’re always reasoning with the negative and identifying yourself with the mind, If you’re always listening to the mind & have no clear discernment of what’s right for your soul & what’s not, If you’re always meeting the person in you as what others perceive of you or what your mind wants you to be; If you have any of the above qualities, then I am sorry to say, you’re not a kind, gentle or compassionate person. If you cannot be kind to yourself, you cannot even imagine what it is to be kind to other beings. AHIMSA:~ Do no harm to all beings! If you have any of the above qualities, it’s easy for you to blame others for your life, It’s easy for you to criticize or bitch about others, It’s easy for you to hate or always find a fault in others, It’s easy for you to live a life to impress others, It’s difficult for you to say No to others, It’s easy for you to justify your guilty pleasures, It’s easy for you to feed your pride, ego & live in a denial. PS: people can meet you only as deeply as they have met themselves😇 It’s difficult for you to love yourself or love others! It’s difficult for you to meet others (not superficially) . . . #wordsbyaparnaa #ahimsa #yoga #soulsearching #positiveaffirmations #buddhism #selfawareness #love #veganism
