Kindness the Ultimate Power of Human Beings
We human beings discuss and write so much about love, but do we really understand what love is? That is never possible. This word is equivalent to God. We carry so many perceptions about God, but we can never have a clear answer for ‘What is God’ or ‘Who is God’.
However, one thing we can conclude with certainty is that there is an energy that takes care of everything, maintaining the same pattern, without any external influence or intervention.
Similarly, love is a wonderful and mystical word that no one can ever explain.But in reality, it is nothing but an invisible power available for one person from another person. The word ‘Love’ belongs to human beings and also to nature.
Animals love too. Once you are in affection and attachment with an animal, even they start feeling a high in your presence and low for your absence.
Kindness – the power of a human being: There is something called kindness, a quality only human beings can express. Animals can never be kind to other animals. A lion will never be kind to a small deer or a dog can never be kind to a cat. But as human beings, kindness is the greatest quality
we possess.
The highest power of a human isn’t living with intelligence. Even animals naturally possess extra power and higher intelligence than we can ever imagine; like the song of a cuckoo, smelling power of a dog, powerful vision of an eagle and too many more to mention. But kindness is the highest intelligence that human beings can practice.
What holds us from being kind: Even though kindness is a quality exclusive to humans, why are we not kind with each other? There are 5 reasons why a human being cannot be kind to oneself and to others.
First, is a ‘Reference of the past’ which is the reason for current perceptions. When we look at a person, some past reference doesn’t allow us to be kind to him. Second is, ‘our opinion of others’. Most of the time, we aren’t able to be kind with others because of our opinion of them. Third, is ‘one’s health condition’. A person cannot be kind to another when he himself is longing for kindness. When you are not healthy, you cannot be in a state of peace, and when you are not in peace you cannot express kindness. Finally, when one has a relationship problem, or one has a Financial problem, it is difficult for them to be kind with others.
What is kindness: The above five reasons stop a person from being kind with others. But, no matter what the situation, one can still be kind. What is being kind? It isn’t using loving words or appreciating the other person. ‘Making another human being feel valuable’, is the highest quality of kindness. And ‘the ability to feel for another person’s future, without expectation’ is the greatest nature of kindness. Kindness isn’t a behaviour pattern or an action, it is a great quality.
Kindness begins with yourself: If you aren’t able to be kind to anybody else or to the planet earth, you can start by being kind to your own self. Please realize that failing to be kind to oneself is the reason for all personal, financial and relationship problems.
The first quality of being kind to yourself is thinking about your own future, understanding the need to achieve what you want in the future and taking care of yourself to achieve the needs of the future. One who is kind to oneself will naturally be a source of kindness to others.
Given the choice between being right and being kind, kindly be kind, because when you are kind, you are no more a human, you are the divine in human form.
Even a small act of kindness can change the entire world, full of peace, success and happiness. Because‘Kindness isn’t love in words, kindness is absolute love in action’.
So, practice kindness!
Wishing you a life of Peace, Success and Happiness.
