The Chain is strongest at its weakest point.
Our desires, greed and religious beliefs makes us slaves in chains.
Of cause, we will not see the chains until our desires are no more;
until our greed is eliminated and
until religion give way to our common human essence.
Our desire to be like the other person is the highest expression of ingratitude to our MAKER.
We failed to identify and make good use of the talents our MAKER has endowed in us.
Why are we desiring in others what we do not even know how they nurtured and achieved it?
Why we desire things in others when we are not in the same circumstance with them?
Why this strong desire for things that will perish with time when we have Limitless Bliss within us to crave for?
Greed opposes Love which is our true nature.
God is the Ocean of Love and we, made in HIS image and likeness, are breathes of Love.
Why then are we holding tight to what is not eternal?
God shared HIMSELF and became human so that we will continue in Love and Compassion (Loving Kindness).
Love is sharing with others whatever we have so, let there be no greed anymore.
Religion has made us disrespect people of other beliefs.
Have we forgotten that Jesus used the Temples and Synagogues that where existing before him?
Or the Black Stone of Kabba where Mohammed went to worship and today has become a place of pilgrimage was Abraham's place of worship.
Have we lost the essence of the teachings of the Masters and relied on cultural differences?
Until we see ourselves as souls in human bodies, then leave 'cultural religion' and embrace Loving Kindness, we will never know our true self but continue to live in strive.
