Hari OM
'Freedays' are the 'gather our thoughts' days; Q&As; a general review of the week so far…
Working through the spiritual philosophy that is Advaita Vedanta is akin to embarking on climbing mountains.
Firstly, a worthy and experienced guide and companion must be found (Guru).
Secondly, we must make ourselves fit for the climb (not skip the lessons which prepare us)
Thirdly, we must be clear that even reaching 'base camp' needs a level of commitment and devotion to the task. Anything beyond requires of us a degree of fervour and (to outside eyes) selfishness. The real climb needs our single-pointed attention for any wrong move can result in a terrible tumble. We risk our lives climbing to any height. Spiritual climb has its hazards also - and when we fall, it can be so much harder to retrace our steps.
Work diligently, carefully and with eyes wide open.
