Discriminating Right From Wrong Wisely

In today’s times, it is seen as good and normal to value goods and own things, which is regarded as security. However, time has shown that security comes only from honest intentions and respectful actions. Desire and fear can take us into adopting beliefs which may never lead us to real happiness.

When we are able to discern our self, then we are able to use the ability to discern other people and situations. Most of us discern based on information we acquire, people’s opinions or belief systems in society. Another common method is to apply logic in order to discern. However, we experience that logic does not always prove to be right.

The ability to discern is about trusting our highest and purest self, even when we are facing opposing opinions, or incorrect beliefs about ways of thinking and being, which arise in life’s different situations.

➤We need to ask our-self – Am I thinking right… what will be the result of my karma…is it increasing soul power? We often become judgmental or critical of other people’s behaviour. The ability to discern makes us analyse their intentions and sanskars which triggered that behaviour. This helps us to empathise with them and respond with our inner peace and not react to their negativity. This ability helps us to remain calm and choose the right response even if no one else is being that way.
