How to handle Criticism ?

Today I want to write a blog on Criticism 🙂 life without a critic or criticism is so beautiful painless and just flows right ? In modern times we can’t avoid criticism, it’s everywhere ! my thought on this matter is that we should see criticism as part of life. Like someone having fake flowers in hand forcefully passed on to others regardless of any consideration on how the other person feels. For example on TV, the news reader reads news as if they criticizing the situation, The Morning sunrise show is nothing but a window of critics sitting to criticize everything in this world, if you are going to interview then whole lot of that information on what to wear, how to talk etc is on your mind and we become critical of ourselves, at times losing confidence. So please do not feel insecure if some one criticizes you. It’s their point of view and some times others see what we do not see. One has to keep a balanced approach and view on matters so that our thinking and actions are also balanced. I remember when I started Sahaja yoga some friends and family members were asking why did you start Sahaja Yoga and what did you like about it? I honestly explained to them it’s the experience which is something I never felt before in my life. What i did was to ask other Sahaja Yogis to check my vibrations and let me know which aspect/ within me do I need to pay attention to improve. They obviously told me and this positive criticism has helped me improve and become so much more deeper. So please keep an open view on Criticism ..it can be harmful when done with any bad intention on others and can be a life giving if done with good intentions. Shri Mataji on one of Her talks says we need to speak the truth, but in a sweet manner and also for the benevolence for the other. But really, in order to practice this behavior we need to meditate which takes us into that realm of thoughtless awareness and from there our actions are directly in the most appropriate way towards awakening the Divinity in others and also maturing in our own ascent. Hope my blog helps all those who face criticism or criticize others !!
