Chapter 1 – The You That You Want To Change
Day 41 – Loyalty
Loyalty is the way in which a mature and integrated mind behaves. Loyalty signifies an undivided wholeness of consciousness and shows a richness of the mind. When the mind is not integrated it is feverish, disloyal and opportunistic.
Disloyalty comes out of opportunism which reveals shortsightedness of one’s destiny. Integrity or wholeness is essential to being healthy. A divided mind will gradually lead to schizophrenia and other mental and physical disorders. Loyalty is a real strength and will have the support of nature in the long run.
Fear and ambition are impediments to loyalty. Loyalty is needed both in the material and the spiritual plane. Loyalty is essential to destroy, create or maintain any institution, group or society. Loyalty means believing in the continuity of commitment. Honouring commitment is loyalty.
It takes you beyond the duality of craving and aversion. Only responsibility, dedication and commitment are the limbs of loyalty. A loyal mind is a ‘yes’ mind. The purpose of asking questions is to get an answer.
The purpose of all answers is to create a ‘yes’. ‘Yes’ is an acknowledgement knowledge. The ‘yes’ mind is quiet, holistic and joyful. The ‘no’ mind is agitated, doubting and miserable. Loyalty begins with a ‘yes’ mind and starts to perish with a ‘no’ mind.
