Once you step into the spiritual realm, you realize that spirituality isn't separate from the life we lead; rather, it's akin to switching our life's flight from autopilot to conscious control. Operating consciously, we must grasp the fundamentals of spirituality, and acceptance stands as one of its cornerstone principles. Recently, I encountered a succinct yet profoundly meaningful quote: "Accept Then Act." Initially, I found it seemingly impractical. How could one simply accept every unpleasant situation or undesirable person that crosses our path in the name of acceptance? However, upon reflection, I arrived at a realization tied to our karma. Karma transcends individual lifetimes, influencing our souls before and beyond our present existence. Accepting this truth means acknowledging that we create karma by our choices in each incarnation. Consequently, life presents us with both favorable and unfavorable circumstances and individuals. Embracing this fundamental tenet doesn't diminish the pain caused by negative karma, but it does lighten our journey and foster inner peace. Without acceptance, we're bound to incessantly question and doubt ourselves. So, the next time adversity strikes, let's accept it as a consequence and forge ahead towards a solution. If a solution eludes us, let's seek forgiveness and release ourselves from the burden of resistance.
