Let it be a lesson...

[Guest guest]

When spirituality becomes a search for security rather than truth, a

place to hide rather than to remain vulnerable and open, then it

becomes destructive of its own aims -- an escape, a way not to have

to think or face the (often painful) vagaries of life. Then

divisiveness and violence become the operative means rather than

unity and non-violence -- a recent example being the Muslim

fundamentalism/extremism that has recently come to everybody's

attention.

 

In my opinion, this is a lesson everyone can take to heart and

remember, as it can potentially creep up unawares on almost anybody.

As humans, it's a natural tendency to want to seek security... let us

remember what we lose when security (for the body, mind and

what's 'ours') becomes the main focus in life.

 

Peace,
