When will the soul that cannot be awakened want to wake up? What qualities does a soul that can wake up need to have?
Usually after practicing for a period of time, we see various changes in ourselves. We would like to share the good things with the people we love, the relatives and friends around us, hoping that they can also embark on the path of practice. Do we need to actively communicate with them?
No, you just need to practice yourself, because the soul cannot be awakened unless they want to wake up themselves, especially the closer they are to themselves, the more difficult it is to awaken them, such as their parents.
We often see some people around us who will not stop to reflect seriously after setbacks or reaching the bottom of their lives. They either rush around looking for solutions everywhere, or simply shut themselves up and never recover. When we try to communicate with them, you will find that they have a set of theories, and they understand the great principles of life better than anyone else, but they can't listen to what others say at all. At this time, their body and mind are tense, and their body energy will automatically form a barrier to block all external energy. He can't listen to any information.
Then will our communication be effective when their lives are smooth? No, because each of us has the instinctive habit of constantly satisfying the five senses, so people will constantly set goals and constantly achieve them. When they have no money, they want to be rich, and when they have money, they want more money, followed by fame, wealth, beautiful women, luxury houses and cars, etc. Desires never end, so they will not stop to seriously examine their hearts. If they really want to examine, it is just for the purpose of planning the next game. Many times, our souls are like a screenwriter who is afraid of boredom, always hoping to constantly add more exciting plots to the script.
So when will the soul want to wake up? What qualities does a soul that can wake up need to have?
Some people say it is when it is painful, but in fact, it is not enough to be painful. It is when you are willing to calm down, look back, and examine yourself when you are in pain. So it is said that those who help themselves will be helped by God. If you don't reach out, Buddha can't pull you out of trouble. So such a soul needs to have some qualities:
Fearless quality, not afraid to examine oneself, not afraid to face one's own problems, not to blame others immediately when something happens, but to be willing to calm down, find one's own problems, look back and see where the mistakes were made. Of course, you can see this quality in many successful people. They are not afraid of making mistakes, they are afraid of not finding the key points of mistakes in front of them. This is like an expert in an industry. It is not about how good he is in this industry, because whether he is good or not is largely due to luck. We look at whether he has stepped on all the pits in this industry and can still become stronger and bigger after stepping on them. We call such people experts in an industry. It is the same in the reincarnation of life. We play various story scenes and experience all different aspects of binary opposition. We are not defeated, we are not autistic or depressed, but our souls are becoming more and more mature in these experiences. When the soul reaches a certain maturity, the fearlessness of the soul will naturally appear. Of course, fearlessness alone is not enough, because this power is likely to make us return to the secular world and continue to struggle, the more clumsy we are, the more courageous we are, so we also need a certain degree of awareness.This is the second quality we need, a certain degree of awareness. This awareness not only allows us to realize that the key point of the error is not others, but ourselves, but also allows us to realize that there seems to be something wrong with the game of life. It is not clear, but it feels that it has many bugs. You will suddenly find that this game seems to be an infinite dead loop, and you can't find the password to pass the level. The only constant in life is change. We look for eternal beauty in change. When we can't find it, we will be like an ostrich, trying to make it eternal in the momentary beauty. We have been reincarnating in a kind of self-touching. When we discover this, we will begin to want to find the truth of life and want to wake up. Some people always fail in marriage, once, twice, three times, or even more times, but they are still looking for it. They still believe in true love. There is nothing wrong with yearning for beauty. But when we cannot perceive the real reason for our failure, this belief and yearning become a kind of greed and obsession. In the end, we either lament our bad fate or blame other people and other things for our lack of love. Then we keep following the flow of karma and run with karma.The third quality is wisdom, which is also a key point for whether we can really wake up. When we want to wake up and start to take action, facing all kinds of spiritual knowledge, in this period of the Dharma Ending Age, we need to have a certain amount of wisdom to distinguish which path is the right one and which path is still in the game, or just expanding the game. This ability to distinguish is wisdom. This is the key to whether we can find the reality of life.The last quality is that wisdom is transformed into a kind of action, a kind of persistence and determination. When we want to wake up, the questions in our hearts begin to echo in our minds over and over again. We will start to search constantly. We begin to find clues from the complicated information, unwilling to let go of the spiritual knowledge that everyone talks about. Then, we will continue to find the way home in these spiritual knowledge. This process requires us to have the quality of persistence, because during this period we will continue to be disturbed by the secular world, and our habits will continue to make us swing back and forth between desire and the desire to pursue the truth. Therefore, in addition to persistence, we also need a kind of determination. Only by finding the truth of life can we truly get rid of the control of fate.
In summary, the awakening of the soul is not accidental, but inevitable. When our soul becomes more and more mature and wiser, we will no longer follow the crowd. We will be better at finding the key to the problem and more wise to find the reality of life, instead of staring at the square inch in front of us and imprisoning ourselves in this prison of the soul.
