We are now one week away from our worldwide celebration of Easwaran’s life on Sunday, October 27 – we hope you will join us! You can read details of how to participate at www.bmcm.org/celebration.
Here in the eSatsang we have been preparing by studying the 2018 Blue Mountain Journal Do You Know Who You Really Are? This week we will read Easwaran’s article “A Higher Image through the Eight-Point Program” on pages 46–49. Here’s how Easwaran introduces it: “Spiritual growth is a lifelong dialogue between our everyday personality and our innermost Self, between the daily and the divine in the depths of the heart, when the superficial self we are aware of speaks to the deeper wisdom in us all.”
You may also enjoy returning to the meditation passages presented earlier in the journal, on pages 25 and 44.
Identify something in your life that you find confusing at this time, and where you wish you could ask Easwaran for his tips. See what he has to say in our readings. How can you apply his words to your situation?
Continuing our reflection for Easwaran’s Life Celebration, we have two prompts for you this week. If you’d like, you can use this reflection worksheet to keep your notes.
Think about your daily or weekly schedule. Think of one small way you could tweak that schedule to put meditation first in the upcoming year. Write it down in specific terms.
Choose a passage from God Makes the Rivers to Flow that speaks to you about the relationship you want to cultivate with Easwaran. Copy that passage.
When we all join together in BMCM Satsang Live to absorb Easwaran’s presence, followed by meditation, that is a powerful healing force that the world needs. Can you meet us there?
We hope you’ve been enjoying the excerpts from Quietly Changing the World. Here is the next excerpt for this week’s spiritual treat.
