We are now one week away from our worldwide celebration of Easwaran’s life on Sunday, October 25 – we hope you will join us! You can read details of how to participate at www.bmcm.org/celebration. Here in the eSatsang we have been preparing by studying the 2017 Blue Mountain Journal Teacher and Student. This week we will read Easwaran’s article “In the Depths of the Unconscious” on pages 55–59. Easwaran explains, “At first we train the mind during meditation and throughout the day, keeping our attention off ourselves and focused on the job at hand. Going through the day with a one-pointed mind is itself quite an achievement. But after many years of effort, imperceptibly, a hole opens in consciousness.” And, he tells us, that is just the beginning! “Our teacher stands like a lighthouse,” he explains, when we journey into the depths of the unconscious.
Read this article as if you and Easwaran are having a conversation. What advice does he give you, and how can you apply it this week?
Continuing our reflection for Sri Easwaran’s Life Celebration, choose a passage from God Makes the Rivers to Flow that speaks to you about the relationship you want to cultivate with Sri Easwaran. Copy that passage.
When we all join together in BMCM Satsang Live to absorb Easwaran’s presence, followed by meditation – that is a powerful healing force that the world needs. Can you meet us there?
We hope you’ve been enjoying the excerpts from Quietly Changing the World. Here is the next excerpt for this week’s spiritual treat.
