Continuing our preparation for Easwaran’s life celebration on Sunday, October 29, we are studying the 2017 Blue Mountain Journal Teacher and Student. You can read details of how to participate in the Life Celebration at www.bmcm.org/celebration.
This week in the eSatsang, we’ll read two short articles: “My Teacher Was My Real ‘Me’” on pages 24–26, and “We Are All Teachers” on pages 42–44. In the first article Easwaran shares tender moments with his granny, his spiritual teacher, and reflects, “When I would run home to see my granny, I did not know I had an Atman. Now that I look back I see that my grandmother was my Atman. That is why I loved her; she was my real ‘me,’ my perfect ‘me,’ my pure ‘me.’ I didn’t know this intellectually, but deep inside, from the very depths of my heart, a little voice was saying, ‘That’s you.’”
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 directly apply them to this particular relationship.
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.
We look forward to spending time with Easwaran – and with you – in BMCM Satsang Live this week.
