Coarseness

The closer you approach to your Divine Self, the more concern you demonstrate for others, and you try to relate with them in such a way that you lead others toward their Self instead of stimulating and challenging their animal interests.

Failure of feeling others as part of yourself is the failure of refinement, of being and living as your True Self. If you are unable to feel others as parts of your Self, your thoughts, emotions, words, and actions follow the path of coarseness. You become insensitive to people’s needs, to their dreams and visions, to their rights and values.

Coarseness is the result of lack of control over your animal nature, your ego, vanity, and ignorance. Coarseness is lack of control over obsessing and possessing entities. Coarseness is the result of the activity of dark forces through you.

Coarseness expresses itself in hypocrisy, in language full of blasphemy and curses, hurting jokes, mockery, in unpleasant gestures, voice and manner. But all these are the result of the coarseness of consciousness that is still not emancipated from self-worship, dictatorship, or from the attitude of imposing on others.
