Extra Baggage
Sri Narasimha Swamiji has stated in his masterpiece ‘Life of Sai Baba’ that it is not easy to shed extra baggage in the form of anger, hatred, jealousy, greed etc., which hang on to us as pre-judgments of others. Unpleasant memories of the past become a burden. We should try to not pay them too much of attention. In Sai Baba’s idea of the world as ‘perception’, beyond the space and time we create for ourselves, I have allowed all such encumbrances to come in my way! Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji felt that I have given too much of importance to those who view me negatively and who can never see anything good in me. He prompted that these perceptions are not the real me; what others think of me is not my problem.
