3 words that came to mind during my morning reflection:
Gratitude, Humility, Response-ability.
Very grateful for having the means to go through this even as millions face severe hardship.
Humbled by the events and once again brought to my conscious awareness how little is in our control and the insignificance of my ego.
To develop the strength of response-ability from care & compassion even as we save and rebuild our businesses and organisations being faced with difficult choices and dilemmas.
Our emotional and intellectual abilities will take us only upto a point. We will need to tap into our spiritual strength to come out stronger and help others on the way.
So true Vivek. Our good fortune is but an accident of birth isn’t it? We are what we are ,because our souls picked the bodies that we now hold — we had no control over that vital part of our progress in our karmic journey. We can only show humility and give thanks for ourselves and try and be compassionate to others.
Yes and sometimes Compassion comes under pressure in difficult times. There’s a lot of financial and intellectual capital in the world, we need to build the Capital of Compassion.
WOW! This touched my soul…
