We have arrived at the week of our Celebration of Easwaran’s Life and Teachings! You can read details of how to participate this Sunday, October 27 at www.bmcm.org/celebration.
Here in the eSatsang, for the final week of our study of the 2018 Blue Mountain Journal Do You Know Who You Really Are?, let’s read Easwaran’s article “The Goal of Evolution” on pages 52–59, along with his closing statement titled “Going Home” on page 61. There in simple language Easwaran sums up the journal’s theme: “That is exactly what meditation means: going home to the realm of infinite joy, infinite love, and infinite peace that we call God.”
Read this article as if you and Easwaran are having a conversation. What advice does he give you, and how can you apply it this week?
A letter of rededication: as we noted at the start of this journal study, each year many of us at BMCM go through a process of reflection for Easwaran’s Life Celebration. We culminate that process with a letter of rededication to Easwaran, and you may want to join in that. Review your notes or thoughts from the questions over the past month, optionally using this reflection worksheet. Then use those ideas to write a letter in which you express your gratitude to Easwaran as your teacher and also a specific small way in which you are rededicating yourself to him in the upcoming year. Put this letter in an envelope and keep it carefully to be reviewed next year at the time of Easwaran’s Life Celebration.
See you on Sunday in BMCM Satsang Live, as the centerpiece of our day of mantrams for peace and healing in the world. Your presence is important!
And here is one more excerpt from Quietly Changing the World for this week’s spiritual treat. (If you’d like more, you can access these videos here on our website).
