Hello!
Today, I'd like to talk about why I, a super-introverted person, decided to start a blog...
There were various reasons, but the main one was the following proverb:
There are actions that humans must take in life.
Those who are wealthy should give wealth to the poor,
Those who possess knowledge should spread knowledge,
And those who have neither of these
should serve others using their healthy bodies.
My coworker A from India, with whom I have started having spiritual conversations lately, said something like this when he introduced a book by Sri Bagavath:
"I don't usually talk much, but I have a passion for spreading the wonderful teachings I know to those who would understand."
Upon hearing this, I realized, "Oh, that is why 'donation' and 'helping others' are really noble!"
If you aren't fulfilled, you must first fulfill yourself, but if you have excess (wealth, wisdom, health), you have to redistribute and circulate them to those around you and your community, just like expanding a torus.
It feels like it aligns with the universe's principles .
Holding onto knowledge and experiences within yourself, trying only to fulfill yourself even when you're already getting fulfilled, is not good! This is about me! I thought.
On a tangent, reputed universities in the US apparently consider community service as important as academic performance or even more so when selecting students.
I hadn't understood it until now, but after hearing A's story, I understood that community service demonstrates high moral character and strong leadership. It proves that before entering university, you already have the potential to apply the knowledge you'll gain to positively impact the world.
So, while I've been donating some amount of money every month, I decided to start a blog to spread knowledge.
I thought it was just to contact my dear healer, Mayumi-san, when I created my Ameblo account, but a few days after this proverb resonated strongly with me, I felt like starting a blog on this platform.
It's only been a short while since I started my blog, but thanks to everyone, it already gotten over 300 views. It's a small joy to feel like I'm contributing, even just a micron, to spreading awareness of the unseen world.
If, just as the Indian teaching I happened to hear pushed me forward, this article pushes someone else's back who reads it, I would be very happy
Thank you for reading!
