'Freedays' are the 'gather our thoughts' days;
Q&As; a general review of the week so far…
With
all the focus on 'we are not the body' in Vedanta, it can come as an
inconvenience and frustration when that very body decides to demand attention!
The body is the vehicle in which the soul travels in order to encounter the
required experiences to further its path. Along with that can come the
challenges which are inherent to the matter. Some are born with bodies which
never ail nor flail. Others with such disabilities it can seem an impossibility
to live life at all - yet it is, and sometimes to fantastic effect (again the
classic and current example of Prof Stephen Hawking).
All
of us, at one time or other, must deal with (relatively) minor illness and
infirmities. One of the challenges then is how to move along with it… or to
surrender gracefully and acknowledge the need for 'time out'.
This
week has been the latter here at AV-bloggy. It is hoped that you still found
the suggestions for saadhana worth the visiting; and normal service will now
return! Thank you for the forbearance - and thanks to those who took time to
extend good wishes; not necessary but appreciated.
