Spiritual Awareness

Most of us cannot help comparing ourselves with others, at least now and then. In fact, this has become so entrenched today that in order to have self-esteem, it seems almost necessary to say, “I am better than he is, so I am good.” As long as we compete with each other and compare one with another, a certain amount of envy is inescapable. It is the very rare person who is completely free from jealousy.

But as our spiritual awareness grows, we will know that completeness is present in everyone and that there is uniqueness about everyone. The truly spiritual person never tries to compare himself or herself with others or others among themselves. What is important is to keep up with myself by making my today a little better than my yesterday.
