Loving kindness towards ourselves doesn’t mean getting rid of anything. Accept yourself as you are, we can still be crazy, angry, jealous, and have feelings of unworthiness. That’s what we study, that’s what we come to know with tremendous curiosity and interest.
If we are physically or mentally attacked, we must defend ourselves the best we can. Our compassion, our humility will not help us. It is advisable to learn as much as you can about self-defense, this training will help you to work out your fears, inhibitions and anxieties.
To cleanse spiritual contamination, offer your talents, resources and life to the world. Give whatever you can without restraint and then the barriers of individuality breakdown, you then become one with the receiver and both become the giver.
The force of inner truth depends chiefly on inner stability and preparedness. From this state the mind springs the correct attitude towards the outer world. Retain your inner independence, this way you will have inner peace and the power to deal with the outside world.
