The Benefit of the Doubt
Wednesday, the 2nd of May, 2007
When we deny others
the Benefit-of-the-Doubt,
the pain we cause them
pales before the damage we do to ourselves.
Why is that?
Why is giving the benefit of the doubt important to our spiritual growth?
Why is it mentioned, or at least inferred, by almost every spiritual path?
Of course we are familiar with our conventional manifestations
of flesh, blood and bone as well as sorrow, fear, anger and pride;
but what about our ultimate natures
of Love, Devotion, Peace, Happiness and Bliss?
Tuning-in to our ultimate nature:
Tuning-in to our Buddha nature;
isn’t that really what the spiritual path
is all about?
I have never had a new car.
But I enjoy the expectation of receiving one, in the most wonderful way… it’s fun.
I desire a Toyota, Camry, Hybred.
And here is the really cool thing…
the more I desire that make and model,
the more I tend to notice them as I ride the bus around town.
And isn’t that also true with our spiritual journey?
The more we choose Contrived: love, peace and happiness;
the more we experience Spontaneous: love, peace and happiness!
And likewise, the more we experience our Own
spontaneous: love, peace and happiness
the more we tend to notice Others’
spontaneous: love, peace and happiness as well!
Spontaneously giving others the benefit of the doubt is a wonderful spiritual barometer.
Do you have a spiritual teacher?
Have they given you specific, {idiot-proof} instructions?
Have you consistently put those instructions into practice?
How are those practices working out for you?
How can you know?
Simply check your barometer!
How frequently do you spontaneously give others the benefit of the doubt?
