Re: Cultivating Kshama
Namaste,
Believer, I have actually arranged an Om symbol on my desktop with the programs and worksheets shortcuts that I use everyday. It's inconspicuous enough that it wouldn't be deemed inappropriate, but I wonder if maybe that's being way too subtle? I will consider a physical Om symbol or miniature murti.
I have spoken to my friend about this over the weekend on what his opinion is on this person. He has met this colleague of mine before and knows all about her religious zeal and his sentiments are to tell her upfront that I'm Hindu so that it will cut straight to the chase on our differences. I won't have to deal with explaining why I'm not observing Lent or explain for the millionth time why I chose to be vegetarian.
I'm just waiting on the right moment more than anything. Honestly, Hindu or Christian, I think there is a time and a place to be discussing religion and it's not during working hours. I just don't find it professional. Maybe during my break? I'll let you know how it goes in the next few days or weeks. I'm just praying that Ganesha will grant me a chance to do this without any lasting awkwardness. My contract lasts until the end of the year.
Om namah Shivaya
"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
ॐ गं गणपतये नमः
