Personal Power: Never Belittle Yourself

datePosted on 00:01, December 1st, 2008 by Strangely

Daisaku Says:

“It has been one of history’s great tragedies that people, failing to recognise the enormous power they possess, have often been subjugated, or divided and set against one another. In contrast, the mentor-disciple relationship of the Soka Gakkai is dedicated to inspiring, uniting, and guiding people in a positive direction. There is no more lofty human bond than that shared by mentor and disciple.

“My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, encouraged members who were facing adversity: ‘You should be proud that you possess within yourself the same life-state as Nichiren Daishonin. Maintain a noble spirit and triumph in life. Never belittle yourself.’”

    Thank you for this. Whist reading it just now it had the effect of waking me up to my inner power, as if for the first time, the light went on. Why do we forget that which we know so very often.

    Grateful.

    Thanks for your comment Jenny. The start, of course, of everything, is to respect oneself. If you can’t respect the beauty that is yourself, how can you respect others? And if you can’t respect others, therein lies the path to conflict.
