Nomaste and anyone interested: I believe it is much easier as a close friend to recognize samskaras in us then we ourselves. Perhaps it is hearing it and being reminded of it by someone close that hits home. But no one else sees us like others.
Interesting... I believe that holds true in some ways, when we are kindred yogi friends for decades, all that deep meditation when sitting nearby physically should, it seems, also make us more able to view each other's samskara garment...
Although, equally interesting is thru gurudeva (PY),
who stated,
Only each soul alone and with God Alone, know the full balance of those karmas playing out(I've been considering that one line for 7 years now... hmmnnn, interesting...)
What I noticed recently is that I come in contact with a lot of people that like to put me into a box-so to speak-of their own. They try to define me into their personal reality. When I break out of that box, or do things outside of the box they are threatened or a bit perturbed that they can't control my behavior. I have to ask myself why do I attract such things perhaps maybe I put people in the box??? Good question?
