Swadhyay

In spiritual practices we are advised to be non-judgmental. To be
able to do this, we have to clear our mind of all concepts of
normality (and abnormality). This is one aspect of swadhyay; the
cleaning of the body, mind and our immediate environment. These three
fields are inter-connected, so it does not matter where one begins.
Cleaning in the other two fields will happen simultaneously. The
ensuing lightness and clarity are most wonderful.

The Inner Guru

Individual life may have a beginning and an end but LIFE itself goes on. Isn't it?
The way you have carried the dialog forward is interesting; you ask questions and then proceed to answer them. This is the way in which the guru tatva, the inner guru is energised..
Many of the insurmountable problems we face are caused be living life in compartments; personal/professional, private/public etc.
If we remove these artificial compartments we would experience life as a continuous flow.

Abilities/Disabilities

The idea of disability arises when we compare our situation with some rigid external standard. Once we drop this way of looking at ourselves and in stead see what abilities we have, we can get on with making the best use of our abilities for the larger good.
In deed that is the primary purpose of all our gifts.

Spiritual Cleaning

Once the cleaning process is set into motion some new channels open up.
We find new perspectives on cleanliness and dirtiness.
We find new areas to be cleaned.
Cleaning moves from external spaces, to the body, to the mind till the inner light begins to shine in its purity and brilliance.
what else is Nirvana, Satori or Samadhi?
Yes, inner cleaning seems to be indicated. May be giving up some of the things we imbibe as a matter of cultural or personal routine would be called for.

Visitors

THANKS FOR VISITING, STAYING ON AND BEING AN INSEPARABLE PART OF MY LIFE.
On my part, I keep the doors open, The rest I do not decide.
Some come in, some don't.
Some stay and some move on after one look.
A few, who have stayed, continue to enrich me with loving care.

Dealing with Difficulties

When faced with difficulty we give up whatever we are doing at that
point in time. Why don't we pause and allow the inner wisdom to guide
us? It will surely suggest the changes to be made. Usually they are
minor adjustments, nothing drastic, and something that we can take in
our stride quite easily.

Giving up Roles

Like every thing else that is born and follows a life cycle, roles also go through a life cycle. They are conceived are born, grow to their prime and then fade away into oblivion.
Just as individuals are born and eventually die but life, in its wholeness goes on endlessly, individual roles such as mother, father, manager, guru etc. are born and eventually end.
Tthe roles are taken over by some others because the task is never completed.
Unless you stop being the mother how would your girls get the chance to play the role of mothers and give it a new interpretation?
This is the way God's creation functions endlessly.
We by refusing to give up our roles (and other possessions) or by asking others to copy our role models, distort the smooth flow of life.
Let us assist God's work by giving up when the time comes.
with unending love
