Do you mold your religious/spiritual teachings around your life to self-satisfy your egoic actions? This can be seen today by many who put their political party and personal interests over their religious ideology.
Or do you embody your religion/spiritual teaching and put it first, by questioning your words and actions and always correcting course when errors are seen?
You can see these two very different ways of living playing out around the world, which will manifest two very different outcomes. This observation is not new; they can both be seen by looking back through history at how men and women have treated their fellow human beings, the planet, and themselves.
This post got me thinking hard about my behaviours. It can be very uncomfortable to measure yourself against religious teachings and see how far off course you sometimes are!

Thank you for following my blog. I am glad you found this post helpful and appreciate your comment. It is a gift to be able to recognize when you have veered off course so be grateful, not uncomfortable because many are unwilling or unable to self-correct. -Namaste
