When you pour water in cooker and steam it out, the same rice becomes soft and easy to take it . Isn't it?
Don't be too hard on yourself . Know that you are a gift to the creation. Once you are at ease with yourself , you can make everyone at ease with yourself ! Steam out all the past impressions, hatred, jealousy , fear , insecurity !!
You are that soft rice that swells up when cooked. You are that soft blossoming flower that has joy and enthusiasm dwelling within. Be with the same belongingness and innocence that you are gifted with. Live together as one big family !!
