Two Prong
I’m rather regulated with my walk through Rosedale and
having that balance to the day. There
are dead ends for cars but for pedestrians you can transcend those
barriers. Let me draw a simple
analogy. Spiritualist have a capacity to
go beyond, to do the extraordinary, to defy what laws of nature impose. Spiritualist tread a trail that knows no
barrier.
For me, well I’m a novice in my practice. I have a long journey yet to make and that’s
alright. I believe that I have two rods
to hang onto to make it possible for me to eventually transcend. The first rod is to follow attentively the sadhana laid out for me—the rules and
regulations that lead to freedom. The
second road is a dependency on the grace, or mercy, of guru and the line of
predecessor gurus.
It is a two-pronged system.
To clarify, sadhana
involves reflective listening, chanting and the other seven practices of
devotion. A profound attitude of
servitude must also apply.
There is nothing grim about such application of
thought. It is service to others that
affords us some gain. The self–service
of contemporary existence has colossal shortcomings due to its simple
short-sightedness.
The best prescription is to serve the whole and then the
individual, whom is part of the whole, reaps personal benefit along with all
the others.
May the Source be with you!
