ACTION – REACTION

When someone reacts, most people blame the one who reacted.They judge harshly, criticize, yet the true cause of that reaction is their own action.But somehow people see only the reaction — because their eyes look outward, and therefore they cannot see within, cannot see themselves. Yet from a distant place, from the void, everything is visible exactly as it is…Living life from that place, seeing others from there, having the courage to see not only your light but also your darkness, and understanding your own influence — this is what makes every reaction understandable.

To deepen our understanding, to know ourselves, to accept things as they are, and to create conscious actions and reactions, we must stay with ourselves, remain within ourselves.For this, we must choose ourselves over the mind, give priority to our inner being, show and express our emotions.Through mantra and dhikr, we should return the mind to its essential function, calm it, clarify it, and learn not to do everything with it.For we already have a great heart that guides us and is sufficient for us.Let us follow it and set out on the journey.The beginning of the path is “me,” and so is the end — in both the light and the darkness.
