Self Assessment on FB

SELF  ASSESSMENT  ON  FB


What I (others also) have watched that when some one posts he/she expects the "Like" button to be clicked. Perhaps never wants to be questioned on the post i.e. does not want to be challenged.

If not clicking "Like" button, then at least he/she expects that comments on the post should commensurate with the post.

And the persons clicking the "Like" button and posting confirming comments are thanked immediately.

Here lies the key so far as Self assessment on FB is concerned.

Let us analyse "HOW".

1. The consciousness of the person (who posts) by getting affirmation by way of clicking "Like" button by others, does not change for better i.e. his/her ego gets slightly strengthened.

2. The consciousness of the person (who posts) by getting his/her posts confirmed by way of commensurable comments , does not change for better i.e. his/her ego gets more strengthened.

3. The consciousness of the person (who posts) when challenged and questioned by others, has a chance of betterment as ego gets rubbed/challenged/discomforted i.e. his/her ego may get weak (annoyance/irritation/reaction--are the symptoms) which is the prime purpose of Religion/Spirituality.

One should be more thankful to 3rd category of the persons compared to category 1st and 2nd, because of them only one is able to assess oneself (what is the level of his/her ego) as posts and comments are the only things available on the FB.



NOW  A  FAMOUS  SUFI  STORY  (VERY RELEVANT)

JO DEGA USKA BHLA AUR JO NA DEGA USKA AUR BHI BHLA

Once there was a Fakir who used to beg daily at the gate of a mosque.

While begging he used to continuously repeat “JO DEGA USKA BHLA AUR JO NA DEGA USKA AUR BHI BHLA” i.e. “Blessed are those who will give and more blessed are those who will not give”.

A person (who must have been an intelligent one) was watching this for many days.

He was very puzzled about what the fakir was saying. He could understand about the blessings for those who were giving something to the fakir, but could not understand the later part i.e. more blessings to the persons who were not even looking towards the fakir, forget about anything giving to him.

One day he could not resist himself and thought to get this riddle (JO DEGA USKA BHLA AUR JO NA DEGA USKA AUR BHI BHLA) explained/solved.

So he went near the Fakir and said to the him that he could understand the first part i.e. “JO DEGA USKA BHLA” (Blessed are those who will give) , but he could not understand the logic behind second part i.e. “JO NA DEGA USKA AUR BHI BHLA”( more blessed are those who will not give).


The fakir said "The people of the first category are always helping me in taking care of my body, but the people of second category are helping me in assessing and eradicating/erasing my ego by way of mirroring me, hence they are more dear to me. Because erasing the illusory part is more important for me in  towards realising myself i.e. erasing the illusory veil between myself and God."


The fakir further said that "Giving thanks to the first category of persons is normal and natural, but I am more thankful to the people of second category but because of them only I am able to know the status of my of ego which gives more troubles me more than my body, although that (ego) is illusory."
