The Gift of Perception

I had heard about the wise seers of the past who had the unique gift of perception
They were endowed with a razor sharp awareness in assessing any given situation
They had practised austerity and conducted penance to raise their levels of evolution
They lived a simple and disciplined life and gained mastery over their senses and emotion

They also may have faced distractions and may have been subjected to objects of attraction
They also may have had to face various challenges that raised its hood in the form of temptation
They also may have faced various hardships as they exercised their will through self restriction
They also may have gone through various phases of self-evaluation as they focused on perfection

They may also have faced challenges of time in terms of deciding the next course of action
They may also have had differences of opinion with people and their conduct in their daily interaction
They may also have had to interact with people who readily compromised their values on their volition
They may also have made efforts to lead a right life that may have attracted its share of opposition

The difference lay in their clarity of vision in being absolutely self-aware about their life position
They had mastered their intellect and knew the right ways to use their powers of imagination
They had high levels of self-confidence gained through a rigorous process of constructive action
They wisely used their energy only as per need and exhibited the highest levels of concentration

One needs to practice discipline with diligence and persist in face of conflicts to ensure transformation
One needs to have highest levels of self-belief in whatever you take up to ensure fool-proof execution
One needs to be at peace with self and immediate environment and demonstrate self-determination
One needs to always stay positive and demonstrate enthusiasm as you unravel your story of inspiration!

Isn't this something that we seem to be losing in the pace, chaos and madness of the modern day world? The more we advance as a species the more we seem to be losing the one thing that allows us to connect well with each other. That's the irony and paradox of our advancement.
