We are continuing our preparation for Easwaran’s life celebration on Sunday, October 23. In the meantime, we have a precious opportunity. Every day, we each can infuse the spiritual renaissance with a little more life, a little more love. Let’s all focus on what we are certain of, what we can do from day to day, and how we can join together to strengthen our unity. By giving our best to this five-week program, we can all join hands and build intimacy with our teacher to respond to these compelling times. In all the ways you participate, you are strengthening your own practice as well as supporting our beloved community. Your daily meditation and your mantram are healing forces in the world.
This week in the eSatsang, we’ll read the short articles from Easwaran on pages 26–27 and 28–29 of the Fall 2019 Blue Mountain Journal, and also start his longer article “Remove the Veil of Self-will,” reading from page 33 to the end of the section on page 35. Throughout, Easwaran helps us see past our differences. He writes, “All our greatness comes from this common humanity, and when we constantly keep our eyes fixed on it, we discover the unity of life which is divine.”
What is the most important thing that Easwaran said to you in this reading? How can you apply it in your life?
Continuing our reflection for Easwaran’s Life Celebration, survey your life as it stands right now – your relationships in the family, at work or school, and in your community. Think of one small way you could decrease a sense of separateness and increase harmony in the upcoming year. Write down a specific step you could take. If you’d like, you can use this reflection worksheet to keep your notes.
Please join us in BMCM Satsang Live to continue our month of celebration of Easwaran’s life and teachings.
And here is another “spiritual bonus” from Quietly Changing the World!
