Om Aha Mani Foundation
Acknowledgement, Humility, Sincerity, Trust, and Action.
Important attributes to be nurtered concerning the search for assistance and guidance.
Acknowledgement.
We realise and accept the fact that we have some problems that we cannot solve by ourselves.
Humility.
By acknowledging these problems, we realise that the only way to solve them - to evolve, to move on, to grow - is to swallow our pride and arrogance, and seek out some assistance.
Sincerity.
We must be sincere in our search for assistance. If we are not, then we will waste our own and others time. Without sincerity, we will dither and falter, backtrack and become the victim of false pride and arrogance. Without sincerity, the trustworthy guides will not appear - we will fail to contact them, or we may contact them and they will detect the lack of sincerity and turn us away.
Trust.
Having found a guide, we need to learn to trust them, because without trust the giving and receiving of assistance will be wasted. We need to trust the guide. This is dealt with more fully......
Action.
We now have the information that we needed and we trust the source, so we must act upon this guidance in keeping with the purpose to the search. What we do not do is sit around talking about how wonderful this advice is - how cleverly it has been put together and how nice the helper was. This is immaterial to our needs. When we find the cook book, we do not place it on an altar and worship its wonderfully designed cover! No, we find the recipe that we need and we cook. Don't sit at the bottom of the ladder chanting, "Oh Holy Ladder. Take me up"! Practice and live authentically.
