Jai Maa Jai Guru Dev ๐
I noticed this morning, after mining a couple of recent gentle humblings, that these uncomfortable egoic lessons are happening less frequently and are becoming more subtle in nature.ย It seems to take much less discomfort to get my attention now and I am able to glean the lessons more quickly.ย The initial resistance to the discomfort seems to be quickly replaced with the understanding that I am being supported, that these humblings are actually a helpful pointer towards where I am still stuck, like divine hints, and I now try to appreciate and capitalize on the opportunity to clean things up, knowing that the veil, the fog that deludes us is thinning with each earnest effort.
'Swaha. Idam na mama' has been an incredible tool in this regard and even just in my day to day when I find myself distracted by any โcontentโ.ย Itโs like a divine vacuum cleaner for all that obscures!
How exquisite, this design, helping us to awaken. I am forever grateful for these teachings, for our Guruji who is unwavering in her devotion and to all of you, for together we create a beautiful venue to share and be supported in our reflections on this sacred journey โ๏ธ๐
Jai Maa Jai Guru Dev๐
Jai Maa Anjali,
Thank you for this beautiful sharing which resonates with me quite loudly. The Ego lately has been showing so much resistance born out of the fear to let go of control. The inner fever shows up and stirs things up. At times it's painful but it's that kind of pain that creates the path home. Our path back home to the Self is not a breeze at least for me, it's a constant effort swimming upstream to finally merge in the infinite ocean of peace. Our Guruji is that lighthouse that makes sure we stay on course even when the going gets tough and we are ready to take the easy way out. Jai Guru Deva!๐๐ธ
