Repetitive situations come to teach us something about ourselves. But we often keep looking at the situation and end up blaming others, thereby losing the moment and the opportunity to learn and grow. Instead, we should step back and look carefully within us, become a student of ourselves, see what triggers the reactions in us and why, look at what needs to change within to make us a better, happier, more peaceful and integrated person. In other words, the world is a mirror that reflects something of us through others. What we see in others is often hiding within us somewhere in some fold of unconsciousness. And if we discover the true beauty within us, we shall discover beauty more often in others.
There is no permanent damage or anything that cannot be repaired by the Divine Grace. The Divine is everywhere, including in the densest darkness and if we have the key of faith, then He can save us from anything and anywhere. It is a question of forming a deep bond with the Divine, a bond of love and trust that makes everything possible.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
