Dear friends On a recent Sunday Nayaswami Parvati introduced the Purification Ceremony by using a little story that I found very inspiring. Parvati shared this example: Our situation is similar to being a sailboat sitting on still water. We aren't going anywhere. The sea can be considered the Sea of Delusion. If we want to move forward on our spiritual path, our job is to raise the sail. Once we have done the work to pull up that sail and secure it in place, then the wind of God's grace can move us forward. That wind is always blowing. What a lovely analogy. Giving up whatever is holding us back is one wonderful way in which we can raise our sail. Another is to participate in Expanding Light's Karma Yoga Program. Contemplating other actions we can take to raise our sail in order to catch the wind of God's grace strikes me as an exceptionally valuable exercise. What is the best way for you? Happy sailing, Nityananda |
