To take a beating is inner penance. The
actions associated with inner penance are called the ‘beating’. The behavior or
actions associated (with inner penance) meaning patience with sincerity, focus
with integrity, without any antagonistic resistance with profound martyr-like
steadfast bearing power in order to cultivate ‘divine impartial composure’.
These
all sound like qualities of a person who is totally sincere and moral from the
heart and the mind. Those brave, developed and spiritual ones know how to take
the inner beatings due to - wisdom, not ignorance. 'They have the ‘sanskar’ to
know, within their spiritual self, that by remaining sincere and moral there
will be inner beatings but there is a clarity purity and amazingly graceful freedom
in living that is unequalled on the other side. The beating is NOT really a
beating but more just grinning and bearing the results (internally) knowing
that it is all a RESULT.
