Self Validation
Sir, can you talk about self-validation . . . .
That is what you all need to learn. Self-validation. In order to be able to
have the strength to be who you are and be proud of who you are and to be
proud of all, all faults and weaknesses, to be proud of all your strengths
you have to first overcome that which limits you all. That is your physical.
Your physical is your barrier between yourself and the world outside of you.
This is an essential barrier. At times when the self needs greatest protection,
the physical does this task. But with time, you have forgotten that this
physical is only the barrier it is not you. This barrier has now ceased to be
useful. Because you have given it more importance that it requires. And
therefore you need external validation of this barrier. To be able to validate
yourself, to be able to look within and see yourself for the vastness that you
occupy, to see yourself again for the minute Spark that you are, you must be
able to look beyond this physical barrier. Acknowledge it, only as the barrier
and not more important than that. Then words will merely bounce off this
barrier. Why do words hurt you? Why do words please you? Because they are able
to penetrate this barrier. And then what kind of a barrier is it, if it permits
this penetration? A barrier must shield you and bounce off all that touches it
and not permit it to enter. Son, self validation will come naturally, only after
you have transcended your physicality. We have told you all time and time again
that this is essential. Do read my son, what we have spoken on transcending your
physicality. Once you are able to do that, then self-validation loses all
importance, because then you are left only with your self. When you left with
your self, no validation is required.
