Acceptance is the Shakti of stillness, soft as moonlight, yet anchored in the unshakable ground of dharma or right conduct. It flows from the antaratma, the supreme presence, that knows its worth is eternal, untouched by praise or blame. It is surrender to the Cosmic Flow, not to human disrespect of personality constructs. Being a doormat is the forgetting of your own sanctum. It is self-abandonment in the name of peace. It is letting fear, people-pleasing, and conflict avoidance tear at the petals of your soul by giving your power away.

I'd like to talk today about acceptance versus being a doormat and often people ask me when you accept everything in your life does that also mean being a doormat and allowing all those people you've accepted to walk over you?

So let me tell you.

In the temple of our heart in the middle of the chest as our spiritual heart known as the Rudhaya there is a difference that lies between opening the gates to the divine that exists as our own supreme essence or presence as a moral compass called the Antaratma and leaving it wide open for anyone to walk through uninvited.

Acceptance is the energetic Shakti of stillness that is soft yet anchored in the unshakable ground of Dharma meaning right conduct.

Acceptance flows from this inner compass the Antaratma the inner guru the supreme presence and it knows its worth is eternal untouched by praise or blame.

It is fully grounded because it is surrendered to the cosmic flow not to human disrespect of personality constructs.

When you get out of your own way your own presence reveals itself.

Being a doormat is actually forgetting your own inner sanctum.

It is self abandonment in the name of peace.

It is letting fear,

People-pleasing and avoiding conflict tear at the petals of your own soul by giving your power away.

The outer world always reveals our inner stance and when you stand rooted in love,

Compassion and your own alignment life simply respects that harmonious energetic frequency back to you.

But when you allow your energetic boundaries to collapse the world you perceive distorts and returns imbalance only for you to experience.

Acceptance says I see what is and I stand in truth.

As I said before it is rooted in Dharma right conduct as a grounded presence of faith,

A wisdom and inner knowing.

Whereas the doormat energy says I will lose myself and give my power away so that you won't leave me as I'm too attached.

The doormat energy is rooted in scarcity and fear.

Stand as the temple of your own presence because that is your true essence.

Allow the opening of the petals of the heart to the divine antaratma,

The presence,

The essence that's already who you are and close yourself to disrespect.

True acceptance is Shakti in stillness.

It is never self erasure.

Because true presence is the wisdom of silence.

So simply allow more and more of you to perceive you.

Thank you.
