Grace and Ease

Deepak Chopra mention in his book on the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success that the first fundamental law is to be non-judgemental in life, to love self, and to appreciate the beauty of nature. This law allows people to appreciate life and to perceive life as life in essense is. When you perceive a mango for instance, you feel the essense of what makes a mango a mango, and you feel loved by the joy of having a fruit, and if you label mango good, you define the essense as good, and goodness is what you receive.

For a father and a mother, the best method to develop a child is not to judge the child, not to define the child, for a child has a great potential waiting to be fulfilled, and each judgement can shape the child, depending on how the child receive this. When we have to attribute quality to a child, a understanding parent will give positive and contributive remark, for the child will also appreciate this beautiful comment. I feel when the child is told he is good, then he himself feels good in some way and may continue to grow along in that field.

When we think of grace, we include the non-judgemental nature that grace emcompasses. For example, admiring a graceful dancer is a process of perception, and without any thought or comment, is a wonderful and joyful non-judgemental act. The feel of perception is certainly more serene than having to judge the sight. Well, my principle when I have to speak and comment is to only pass good and neccessary judgement, or else refrain from speaking or even thinking at all. When someone pass a good judgement for me to perceive, I may evaluate for a second or two, and then let my mind go to appreciate the beauty of the object of judgement, for just perceiving is indeed a golden process. When there is grace, there is lots of peace, ease and enjoyment, and all these happen easily under a non-judgemental nature. When a good tune is on the radio, maybe a person may sing along with his or her friends, and enjoy the moment, instead of being self-conscious. A graceful personna is with the prerequisite of a mature mind, for grace is about letting go of one's judgement under good and accepted condition. In my opinion, a humble man passes only casual good and honest comment, and do not judge unnecessarily. Therefore, we easily associate a humble man with grace.

Grace and ease comes together most of the time. With grace, we have ease. With ease, we have grace. A peaceful person feels ease and grace most of the time, and a trusting man is easily at ease and in grace. When we love our environment and our reality, we are in grace. When we appreciate what we already have, we are also in grace. When we are rest assured of our future, we are in ease. In grace, ease easily come. When we are at ease, with a positive attitude, we understand grace is with us too. For life, when we forgive and bless others, other will forgive and bless us too. This type of interaction promotes a society that is in grace, and with grace, the ease of life will come. Well, another idea is to be gentle in whatever we do, for a gentle person is in grace, and with the act of grace, is with the flow of least effort, and this is the flow of life, and ease will permeate from the person like overflowing water from a fountain.
