Thanks to all who joined in this year’s Celebration of Easwaran’s Life and Teachings, including last Sunday’s culmination!
After a deeply inspiring month, we now turn back to our study of The Constant Companion. This week’s reading is pages 128–134,* and beauty is a major theme.
“There is a beauty appropriate to every age,” Easwaran explains, and our beauty can grow even as our body ages. If you are forty, he notes, “‘You are wise enough to be fifty-five’ should be a thrilling compliment. 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.”
Is there a tip in this reading that is particularly challenging for you? How will you wrestle with it this week?
Spiritual Reading has been our focus for practice extension throughout this book study. This week consider how these stories are speaking to intimate relationships in your life.
* For those using electronic versions of The Constant Companion with different page numbering: this week’s reading is Easwaran’s commentary on the names Beauty through The Poet. (Please note that the latest edition of our ebook is titled Names of the Lord.)
