From Muruganar's Padamalai-SELF ENQUIRY

[Guest guest]

Dear Karla,

 

You reply is somewhat wild but nevertheless sound in my opinion. I think you

answer your own question in the last part

 

 

" I think when I asked God to take over He did.  This past year has just been

about letting go and understanding that the love and peace I have always looked

for can only be found through a close connection with God, beyond the illusion

of the dramas of this world.  I go into a deep meditation and call home, where

I can stay for hours in the peace, in a state of complete emptiness.  Most of

my life is in solitude now,(except when I work) and my walks in the pastures

with my dogs watching the dance of nature are very important.  I told a

friend, and I will repeat it now, Nature rolls out her beauty, like a map, and

points the way to God.  I really believe this.  True love and peace are not

found in the things of this world, but it is in the connection with God

that we all have access to. "

 

Yes! if we are truly sincere, earnest and honest in our prayer, God or the Self

(The microcosm in our Heart which corresponds to the macrocosm we call

God)  guides and lead us on for our spiritual development. It may not all be

blissful but will entail challenges and suffering- but it is all for the best if

we have Faith in that Great Power which knows the Way, as my late teacher Robert

Adams, (an enlightened Disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi) used to say.

 

All love and Light,

 

Alan

Dear Karla,

 

In my opinion what you write is right too. The question you might wish to ponder

is 2do we choose the right path or is the right path chosen forus?

 

Love and ,

Alan,  you seem to come up with the right comments at the right time.  This

journey is not about convincing anyone that our particular way of thinking is

the right way.  It is the right way for us, but not for someone else and as

hard as it may be, we need to try respect the other person's path.  Maybe if we

did that there would not be so much bloodshed in the name of a God.

the true support for spiritual aspirants

is the enquiry they perform
