TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE 


The above is famous verse from Shakespeare's Hamlet that has caught the attention of many philosophers .Why can't you be true to your true self ,to your soul? It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks or says .You are not here to please others .You must do what your heart  says is right, God  resides in your Heart and therefore  your Hearts voice is  Gods voice .

Your soul's sensibilities and sensitivities are no different than God's. When you feel moved to help someone in need, when you feel guilty for doing wrong,when you want to forgive someone , when your heart responds lovingly to another human being, that is God in you.

It is true spiritual integrity to condemn the actions which your heart hates ,condemn the actions that violate the law of love, which is your heart's law  because they hurt others and  you .They are not true to your real nature to 
the Nature of  God in you. No human heart which is true to oneself would ever approve of selfish living ,hate and violence . Gods heart inside you cries out against the injustices of the world, and inspires you to do right to others. Listen to the law of love of your heart and be  your true self .Simply start to connect with your heart energy  .Turn inwards and ask yourself if you are living authentically, truly in line with your spiritual values. 

Following your heart has been given a bad name in this world as many people think that to "follow your heart" means to be whimsical, inconsiderate, selfish, and non-committal. But that is not what your heart dictates ,it is the mind that is whimsical and selfish which needs to be tamed by your pure heart .

Anahata ( means "unhurt, unstuck, or unbeaten) Chakra also called  heart chakra is perfectly situated in the middle of your body, balancing the world of matter (lower three chakras) with the world of spirit (upper three chakras).Open up to your heart chakra by being honest and open .Stop clinging to your past or being stressed about the future  Practicing the art of acceptance  ,appreciation and understanding  with unconditional love 
and letting go what you can't change is most important to be your true self ,to be content and happy with what God has blessed you with .

There is no difference between satisfying God, and satisfying your own heart and being true to your true self your soul .They are the same. Isn't that beautiful?

To thine own self be true
be the real authentic you 
let your actions outside 
match Gods voice inside 

Remove the mask you wear 
to hide your vulnerability and fear  
Why do you want to compare 
yourself to others who hardly care ? 

Do you need to put up an act 
to become the one to attract ? 
Don't create your own trap 
in relationships which will snap 

You are you and no one else 
so why try to be someone else 
Be truthful the way you truly are 
for that's what will take you far 

Never be afraid of your true self  
listen to your silence ,know yourself 
Let your heart and soul be your guide 
for that's Gods voice inside .

Pay attention to your life's spiritual goals 
to the signals of your sublime soul 
Honor your  true being as a whole 
for truth cannot be set on parole .

Gods heart resides in you 
its whispering  is the right clue 
Be truthful to your inner  calling 
then there will be no fear of falling !
