We are continuing our preparation for Easwaran’s life celebration on Sunday, October 27. You can read details of how to participate in the Life Celebration at www.bmcm.org/celebration. In the meantime, there isn’t time to waste. Every day, we each need to infuse the spiritual renaissance with a little more life, a little more love. Let’s all focus on what we are certain of, what we can do from day to day, and how we can join together to strengthen our unity. This five-week program is a time we can all join hands and build intimacy with our teacher to respond to these compelling times. In all the ways you participate, you are strengthening your own practice as well as supporting our beloved community. Your daily meditation and your mantram are healing forces in the world.
This week in the eSatsang, let’s finish Easwaran’s article “Our Real Identity,” reading pages 14–23 of the 2018 Blue Mountain Journal Do You Know Who You Really Are? Easwaran explains, “The inner beauty which shows itself in the capacity to give and to cherish grows with the passage of time. It transcends the senses, transcends even mind and intellect. 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.” May we each be inspired to realize this truth in our lives!
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 apply them directly to this particular relationship.
Let’s continue our personal reflection for Easwaran’s Life Celebration. At the end of the process, we will each write a letter to Easwaran. Many of us keep these letters year after year, and you may want to do the same.
If you participated in last year’s Life Celebration Satsang, did you write a letter of rededication to Easwaran? If so, review that letter if you have it, or remember what you wrote. If you didn’t write a letter last year, you can start this meaningful tradition now.
Thinking over the last year, reflect on your successes in shaping your life and relationships based on your highest ideals. If you’d like, you can use this reflection worksheet to keep your notes.
We look forward to taking our theme of “Our Real Identity” even deeper in BMCM Satsang Live.
And for this week’s spiritual treat, here is the next excerpt from Quietly Changing the World.
