Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 324 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There are three vices which are important to know and to learn about: envy, lust and the perception of honor. These three vices weaken a person’s physical health and, interestingly enough, can drive a person to destroy his spiritual life and driving him away from all the good things.
Each person is born with these three vices. If it’s allowed, nature can take its course, and these vices will actually drive this person away from bliss. Away from eternal bliss, goodness, health, and happiness. But a person can also choose to purify these vices and use them for good.
For instance, envy either used to be jealous of those who are spiritually superior, or a person should try or yearn to become just like them. That would be a good use of envy.
Another example, lust can be used for the pleasure to be closer to the Creator of the world, and not for anything else. This will make it a holy purpose.
A third one would be honor. It says, “Who is honored?” He who honors others. In other words, if you honor other people you yourself will be honored.
When experienced in a good and healthy way, these three vices may remove a person from the physicality of this world. They take them into a transformation in a transcendental way, which is beyond and above anything that most human beings can understand.
This doesn’t mean you become an angel but it does mean that you will become greater, better, stronger, wiser, and even holier. These three vices; can be controlled. to try to abate them is an impossibility. Why not use them for the good things in life?
We don’t have options as to what we’re born with. We don’t have options, many times, as to why these vices are stronger in some of us rather than others. But, we do have the option to control them. Take these vices and direct them as a conduit to the much greater of the whole of what we have.
This is what it’s all about. Take these habits and vices which are possibly negative and turn them into tools for yourself to become better. That becomes the ultimate in life.
