What is your take on this quote as per ... reaping and sowing...?

Yeah...i always believed that i had a dual personality....

Interesting as it seems to imply teamwork is the best option to gain measure to a task at hand.

Teamwork makes mighty task less stressful and hard so that the reaping isless complicated and the sowing is more enjpyable.

A nice idea this Thanksgiving here in America as this country is getting more selfish by the day.

Dependent on themselves and the handouts of the government (no reaping) and more concerned about sowing for selfish gain.

The second part about the option of failure is easily solved a too.

Never give up trying and learning.

Even mistakes can score you untold amounts of knowledge useful in other things.

Look at Thomas Edison and the lightbulb for a grand example.

Remember this my friend. Teamwork back in the old days took a community to raise a barn in the morning and a great feast after the work was completed. It was hard work but the joy, the goal and the reward was often lasting friendships built.

Today people tend to work for themselves and have become generally distrusting of others and their joy is fleeting, the goals often unfilled and the rewards are easily lost.

I think duality is a step in the wrong direction and too easy to lay off our problems onto.

I agree as babies we come into the world wholly dependent on our parents for love and sustenance.

If that is absent then how does the innocent child sow to reap.

How about children who are brought up in a family environment.

Even they will be exposed to forces that elementally will shape and define them as they grow older.

I would suggest that the duality is an illusion of the false self perceived by the body sensations linked to the ego and mind which is filled with distortions.

If life has been difficult and your mind is searching for reality then you have to clear out the false self and evict it because it is not you.

The false self maybe the sower but the real self is the reaper.

If the field is fallow or the crops are tawdry then the farmer must work that bit harder and longer to produce the coming harvest otherwise the barn and grain stores will be unfilled.

How many people actually work on their true inner self and not the preoccupied false self that worries about material things to surround themselves with to give a sense of comfort yet is but another illusion.

Like babies at birth we enter this place naked and vulnerable with no thought.

As adults can we not rebirth and reenter the place stripped naked but less vulnerable by our experiences which can teach us the value of life?

I also feel it is vitally important to know you have a guide or guardian that can arise at times to illuminate the right direction however many people choose instead to ignore this and go in the other direction because the true path is narrow and difficult but like any journey or ordeal once completed is worth the endeavor.

I had Christ to help me but you would probably imagine my Christ is the church version.

No my Christ is universal and is never absent in the world and is instantly accessible so in my situation the sower and the reaper are interdependent because they are one and the same.

God and human.

Success is measured by your happiness, your bliss – everything else is irrelevant. Whether the world says that you have been a failure, or the world makes you a star, a success, it doesn’t make any difference. Bliss is real success. If you are blissful, you have always succeeded.

For the world, ego gratification is the success. But in reality, to be blissful is to be successful – whether anyone knows about you or not. It is irrelevant whether anyone knows about you or not, whether you live totally unknown, unheard of, unnoticed. So remember this distinction because there are many people who would like to be intuitive, who would like to find the inner guide, just to succeed in the world. For them the inner guide will be a frustration. In the first place, they cannot find it. In the second place, even if they can find it, they will be miserable. Because what they are aiming at is recognition by the world, ego fulfillment – not bliss. Be clear in the mind – don’t be success-oriented. Success is the greatest failure in the world. So don’t try to succeed otherwise you will be a failure. Think of being blissful. Every moment think of being more and more blissful. Then the whole world may say you are a failure but you will not be a failure. You have attained.

Forget about Goals. If there is a goal, there is the fear of going astray. If there is a goal, there is the fear of failure. You cannot be a failure! Life does not allow any failure. And because there is no goal you cannot be frustrated. If you feel frustrated it is because of your mental goal that you have imposed on life. By the time you have reached your goal, the life has left it; just a dead shell of the ideals and the goals remain – and you are frustrated again. The frustration is created by you. Once you understand that life is never going to be goal-confined, goal-oriented, then you flow in all directions with no fear. Because there is no failure, there is no success either – and then there is no frustration. Then each moment becomes an intrinsic moment in itself; not that it is leading somewhere, not that it has to be used as a means to some end – it has intrinsic value. Never create the feeling of failure, remember, because by and by the person can start becoming a failure. He begins to feel that nothing is going to happen; that this is not for him, it is only for very special and rare people, and he is an ordinary person. Once this happens, a great rock has fallen on his being. And many of the teachers in the world go on doing that. Rather than helping people, they hinder. So don’t condemn anybody, otherwise you will be closing his whole possibility of growth.

Pain and pleasure, success and failure, fame and defamation — all is accidental. Only your witnessing consciousness is essential. Stick to it! Get more and more rooted in it. And don’t spread your attachment to worldly things. So just be in the moment…and be loving – because that is the only way to enjoy the moment, and to be fearless, successful.

Take Care.

The sowing and reaping are relative terms, terms that are appreciable to the age.

In an absolute sense, there are not two of anything, for the true idea of God is already infinite. In a relative sense there are two, or three ...., and these are the objectifications of what cannot be objectified.

So the sow and reap process is the cause and effect of human thought on a subjective state.

As far as "but what self did we work from...," it boils down to divine knowing or human conjecture, but we must always remember there is only one image and likeness of God, and that is man, but not in a mortal sense, but in a spiritual sense.

I wish i was more of an expert on this but i will say the quote is quite interesting. Hope u have a good evening.

Blind justice to keep balance in the universe. There is really no right and wrong. The law of eternal justice does not judge - what you sow, you reap - no exception.
