As we close out our study of An End to Loneliness, the Spring 2016 issue of the Blue Mountain Journal, Easwaran gives us a glimpse of the fruits as we approach the spiritual goal: “As compulsive desires fall away, you will find you have such security, such energy, such love and respect for everybody, that instead of feeling empty you will feel fulfilled; instead of feeling lonely, you will feel at home wherever you go.”
To finish our study let’s read pages 38–45. Easwaran continues his broad theme of spiritual support, encouraging us to grow closer to our spiritual teacher and to remember “that the guru, the spiritual teacher, is in every one of us.”
Is there a tip in this reading that is particularly challenging for you? How will you wrestle with it this week?
This week, continue your effort to follow Easwaran’s evening routine by turning off other media, reading one of his books for a few minutes, and then going to bed repeating the mantram.
Look for ways in which this reading of Easwaran’s books helps you to make your highest ideals a part of your daily life.
When we all join together in BMCM Satsang Live to absorb Easwaran’s presence, followed by meditation, we create a powerful healing force that the world needs. Can you meet us there?
Next week, on February 25th, the eSatsang will begin studying Easwaran’s Mantram Handbook. To prepare, make sure you have the book available.
