Let’s conclude our study of the Blue Mountain Journal Gandhi & Nonviolence: Love in Action, Transforming Anger with two brief and inspiring statements from Easwaran, on pages 3 and 63, as well as the passages included in this issue of the journal on pages 16, 19, 31, 47, 59.
In the opening article Easwaran declares, “Gandhiji put all his faith in the individual. His way was for each of us to make a personal contribution in our own home and community. His genius lay in knowing how to transform the raw material of daily living into opportunities for growth and service, so that routine events become spiritual occasions.”
If you have a particular issue you are struggling with right now, look into this reading for tips – either from Easwaran or from the passages – and try them out this week.
Renew your effort to imitate Easwaran’s evening routine. Even if some nights you can’t do it, try again to build your routine of turning off other media, reading from Easwaran for a few minutes, and then going to bed repeating the mantram.
For an additional spiritual treat, we hope you enjoy this recording of Christine Easwaran reading the passage “Self-Surrender” from Mahatma Gandhi.
