My room mates are filthy, HELP

I had someone share with today that her room mates were filthy. 

This wasn’t just some judgement she was passing on them, I seen the place myself, and really was quite disgusting to say the least. 

I could have done the thing most people do and say a following things. 

1. Aww shame. Poor you. 
2. Oh those horrible people, how can they do that!
3. Run away. 
4. Get rid of them 

Okay, I am joking about the 4th one. I sure hope that no one would think or do that. 

So, I said the following to her:

If you feel to need to clean up, then clean up. This may seem unfair especially after coming from a long and tiring day at work. Also, why should you be their slave or maid? Well the reply to that is: First try to speak to them. In fact communicate to them at least 3 times that you would like them to keep tidy. 

If you fail to get them to do so, then clean up where you can yourself. Do not do everything, but do what you can so you feel good. 

I asked her to see this as you serving them. This is not being a slave or giving into them. You are changing the energy from which you are doing this from. One of the greatest gifts we have been given is the gift to serve. Service to man is Service to God. When you serve another human being, you are also serving yourself. I am you. You are me. 

I then told her, that when you are doing the cleaning, use this as an opportunity to do 2 things at once. I ask her to chant a mantra. A mantra carries a high vibrational sound that can transform and remove darkness. It is similar to an affirmation. So while doing the cleaning, use this to chant or do an affirmation. This way you are serving them and yourself as well. 

I then asked her a question that needed to be asked. Everyone in your life is a reflection of who you are. No matter where you go, there you find yourself. 

People show you who you are. So I asked her, “Where are you filthy?”

This question had to be asked because people are a reflection of who we are. 

Perhaps you may not leave the dishes unwashed or not sweep the floor, but where are you untidy inside? What are your thoughts like? What are your beliefs? What is your energy life? Where are you spending time? In order for cleanliness to be present on the outside, it has to be first be present on the inside. This works for everything else. Peace, Love, Joy etc. It has to be first be found on the inside to manifest on the outside. I left her to think about this so that she can work on her own inner cleansing. 

I then said to her to not be annoyed with them. They are robbing her of her peace and she is giving them her power. No matter what they did or did not do in this case, she should not allow them to make her upset. Peace and stillness can her hers no matter what was happening on the outside. 

I finally said to her, to not judge them. Allow them to be who they are. When we judge, we usually hate. Hate creates boundaries between 2 hearts and creates karma for you. When you sow hate in your heart, then the fruit that follow must be that of the seed. Do you understand. 

You may not agree with my methods of my philosophy, but if you find some value in this, then wonderful!
