If you are full of confidence and if you are someone who knows already what is good for you, then no Krishna and no Christ can help you. If you are someone who is habituated in self-deception, then you cannot be helped. Just ask yourself, last time your follies or weaknesses were exposed, how did you react? Ask. Itβs easy to assess your reaction.
Letβs say a situation, a force comes and exposes your ugliness. There are only two ways to react.:
One is, you get full of anger towards the one who exposed your weakness.
Second is, you start feeling angry at your weaknesses.
Whatβs your reaction? That will tell you how honest you are, and that will tell you what your fate in life is.
You know, mirrors too are delicate things. You can keep a mirror with you, and if the mirror reflects your ugliness, it is easy to smash the mirror. The mirror will not come back to you. The mirror will not come again to tell you how ugly you are. Itβs difficult to improve oneself. Ask yourself, what did you do the last time the mirror said, βUgly, ugly!β What did you do? Did you curse yourself, or did you find yourself full of bitterness towards the mirror?
