We are invigorated to hear about the many ways you participated in our worldwide community practice day on Vishu last Sunday. It was special to be connected with our friends at Ramagiri Ashram and with all of you as we took part in ways to deepen our practice of passage meditation.
Was there an activity that you were hoping to take part in but unable to? And/or did something inspire you enough that you’d like to do it again this weekend?
If so, this week, we invite you to try and make it happen during a time that works for you. And, we’d love to hear your reflections below.
In, Easwaran’s article “Bringing Heaven to Earth” in the 2008 Summer Blue Mountain Journal he shares:
“For the words of these passages are not just poetry. When we meditate on them with one-pointed attention and an open heart, they stir a response within us. We glimpse in them a reflection of our own true Self. The wonderful potential latent in us begins to shine, as a possibility we can not only imagine but long for and begin to live by. Each passage is a mirror for helping us bring the lofty vision of the world’s great spiritual traditions into our daily lives.”
This week, consider simply reading, refreshing or memorizing one of the mirror-themed passages below that speaks to you of your true Self, or a passage that Easwaran reminded us of in his article “Bringing Heaven to Earth”. You may already have chosen one as part of the Vishu mirror ceremony on April 14. Here are a few more suggestions:
If you’ve picked one, we’d love to hear which passage you chose, and why! Please share with us in the comments section below.
Also, we’d like to remind you about the new audio offering on our website, which features Easwaran and Christine reading passages. We hope you thoroughly enjoy listening to them and maybe it will help inspire your choice of passage!
