In this week’s reading, pages 14–23 of the Blue Mountain Journal Do You Know Who You Really Are?, Easwaran explains, “The inner beauty which shows itself in the capacity to give and to cherish grows with the passage of time. It transcends the senses, transcends even mind and intellect. We can grow in beauty until the last day of our life, and the desire to look on everyone as kith and kin will draw people to us for the beauty of our lives.” We are studying this journal in support of our annual Celebration of Easwaran’s Life and Teachings. Let us each be inspired to follow his example, realizing this truth in our lives!
You can read details of how to participate in the Life Celebration at www.bmcm.org/celebration.
Is there a relationship in your life that you wish you could improve? Read this article for tips from Easwaran. Try applying those tips, even if you can’t apply them directly to this particular relationship.
Let’s continue our personal reflection for Sri Easwaran’s Life Celebration. At the end of the process, we will each write a letter to Easwaran. Many of us keep these letters year after year, and you may want to do the same. If you didn’t write a letter last year, you can start this meaningful annual tradition now. Thinking over the last year, reflect on your successes in shaping your life and relationships based on your highest ideals. Write down your notes and save them so you will be able to review them next year at this time. If you’d like, you can use this reflection worksheet.
We look forward to taking our theme of “Our Real Identity” even deeper in BMCM Satsang Live.
And for this week’s spiritual treat, here is the next excerpt from Quietly Changing the World.
