Bodhisattvas & Wounded Healers
A spiritual teacher is NOT always a great looking, wealthy person of perfect health.
Have you ever been challenged to be patient & love someone even when you were feeling repulsed and angry?
Have you ever sacrificed a great deal of time & energy caring for someone who is disabled and unable to do this alone?
Have you been devastated by a seemingly senseless loss?
What about being touched and inspired by the life of a person you have never met?
Do you ever wonder what a certain soul would choose to do in a similar circumstance & find yourself trying to emulate that value?
How have you been changed by the pain and suffering of another?
A soul who chooses to come to Earth as a disabled person, a chronically ill person, a mentally ill or addicted person could BE a spiritual teacher.
It's best NOT to underestimate the power and glory behind the masks we wear on Earth.
[Bodhisattva- Buddhist deity: in Buddhism, a deity or being who has attained enlightenment worthy of nirvana but who remains in the human world to help others . . . ]
Society is obsessed with beauty, wealth and fame.
Obesity and 'ugly' are rejected as social outcasts.
WHAT IF the very soul you judge IS your teacher?
It's highly likely.
The Bodhisattva will take the form of someone who triggers 'stuff' within you which MOST needs re adjusting / healing. A deep 'bother' you can't escape.
The next time you judge a person because of their differences, PAUSE to really FEEL what it is you judge.
How can you be so certain they deserve such condemnation . . . do you REALLY know how they arrived to this place?
Light!
