'Freedays' are the 'gather our thoughts' days;
Q&As; a general review of the week so far…
Each of the posts this week have stepped up the pointers to dealing
with an every-crazy world; learn to withdraw. Practice being in the world but
not of it. Oh yes, easily said and all that; but each small step made in a
direction, made and re-made, will take one along a path. What has to be sorted
is which path is being chosen. It is also good to know that one can change
paths. It might mean a bit of 'cross-country', rough-under-foot work, but it
can be done.
The spiritual path is not necessarily the easiest path, for it
requires dedication and determination. The head can know what is right, but the
body can be fighting it. The intellect can be working out plausible excuses for
why saadhana is not being done.
Until such time as Realisation of Self is ours, we must be ever
watchful of ourselves. At no time must we become complacent or lazy. It is much
easier to fall down a hillside than it is to climb it. Then, what measures us,
is our ability to stand up, dust off and begin the climb again. Miss no steps, make each step firm before taking
the next. Each of those steps will yield rewards of quality. The further one
goes, the greater the rewards. Set your goals. Reach for them.
