from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VIII/VIII_2_1.htmCommentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
Every step in evolution makes life more valuable. The more evolved you are, the more priceless is every moment; it becomes an opportunity for you to do good to others, to serve others, to give love to others, to be gentle to others, to give your sympathy to souls who are longing and hungering for it. Life is miserable when a person is absorbed in himself; as soon as he forgets himself he is happy. The more he thinks of himself, his own affairs, work and interests, the less he knows the meaning of life.
from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VI/VI_16.htmEvery person is a captive in some form or other; one's life is limited in some form or other; but one could get above this limitation by realizing the latent power and inspiration of the soul.
Kabir, the great poet of India says, 'Life is a field and you are born to cultivate it. And if you know how to cultivate this field you can produce anything you like. All the need of your life can be produced in this field. All that your soul yearns after and all you need is to be got from the field, if you know how to cultivate it and how to reap the fruit.' But if this opportunity is only studied in order to make the best of life by taking all that one can take and by being more comfortable, that is not satisfying. We must enrich ourselves with thought, with that happiness which is spiritual happiness, with that peace which belongs to our soul, with that liberty, that freedom, for which our soul longs; and attain to that higher knowledge which breaks all the fetters of life and raises our consciousness to look at life from a different point of view. Once a person has realized this opportunity, they have fulfilled the purpose of Life.
Banyan pointed out that when I'm struggling I do not like to share it with others, closing off from everyone,... even my TA. Also in doing this I step away from my spiritual practices,... kind of like a self-punishment
…adding your thoughts as well to my lessons this week.the other day i felt the call to meditate and i put it off until later in the night. by then i was tired and found myself having to work through my irritability. i realized i was also finding guilt and perpetuating that in prayer for having ignored the call. i am learning and trying more to take responsibility for my actions- including my negligence; to own the consequences not just the rewards.
Will these do, Sammy? Better then nothing eh?I'm finding myself wanting a "like" or "Love" button like facebook has...seems I don't have much to say recently but want you all to know I am reading and still here.
