We do it…

Sins, Sins, Sins… that is what we are all filled with. Continuing my previous posts, this post is dedicated to the sins Sloth and Pride. Not the sloth of a Sloth and pride of a Lion… but the sloth and pride as committed by we humans, as they say animals come to this world and pay for their past sins… they committed in human form. They don’t accumulate any new sins in the animal form. But human beings, being endued with consciousness to judge and take decisions wisely, do gather sins during the journey of the soul as human being.

So sloth as I commit, refuse to work owing to unreasonable tiredness, sleeping at odd hours, and above all the vice turns into a sin when because of slothful nature we do every thing we need to, for our day-to-day activities but refuse to pay the time gifted to us by the Lord, back to Him. We don’t remember God saying we don’t have time for all this… what time? the one given by Him for our amusement on this earthly world, or the one that scares us of death each moment of this journey? All He asks from us is a part of our day spent remembering our Creator with pure Love and sense of belongingness and surrender.

But how can we surrender? We are so full of pride to do that… Pride when we make fun of someone asking a silly question in class (even though 0=infinity can not be justified)… whereas we all might be encouraging our brothers and sisters to put up questions to the teacher as soon as they have a doubt…! Pride when we chuckle at a professor labelling the Ymin and Ymax along X axis… whereas the first rule of learning is to accept the teacher knows more than you. Not only is chuckling end of the pride… we take a 360 degree view of the classroom and show each and every student our stupid grin to tell ‘Hey, I could recognise his mistake’…again pride! And also pride when we turn our face from the one who has hurt us in past,,, or even the one who we are acquainted to but not friends with… as in both the situations we feel the other person should approach us first… why should I???

As they say, pride is the most difficult of all sins to handle… because when we have overcome all other sins, we have to face pride… pride of overcoming the other sins… and this pride persists as long as we believe we are the Doer. Just when we detach ourselves from the mortal selves and view us as ethereal entities that have only One purpose of their fortunate arrival on the planet as Humans, can we come above the shackles of Sins.
