I started practicing a technique, radiate the enthusiasm and joy of Nithyananda Swamiji in my life. I got up early in the morning with this enthusiasm. Realized it is a matter of right remembrance.
Shared it with my wife and she said something. I already pre-judged it was something negative and interpreted what she said as I expected her to say - it was putting me down, negative, not good for my confidence....
Later, she corrected my judgment, that was not what she intended, she meant to take care of something else too, not always be engaged in a few works. I realized my mistake and accepted it.
While driving to office, I realized, Hmm.. Whenever my wife opens here mouth, I prejudge that she is complaining me or kids, or something negative or not something I want to hear.
The Click is... if I pre-judge people based on their past, isn't others also doing the same thing to Me... Whenever I open my mouth, people know what I am going to speak and what my views are. When I speak about joy, meditation, yoga, religion to Amma, she may be pre-judging based on my past what I am going to speak. Whichever new words or stories I invent, the past will cloud the listening.
Even I do the same. Then how can I expect others to accept what I say and show some listening, and I complain, No one listens to me, No one accepts my thoughts.
Thank you Swamiji for revealing this blind-spot.
