Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thanks, Nandaji, for this powerful message! It ties in very nicely with our recent discussion of respecting our actions, I think. I was particularly struck by the idea of 'not going back, undo, uproot, abandon the conquered ground', because I recognize that very well. Yes, the feeling of losing or gaining ground....but then, we are counseled to 'be content with small gains', with love, Henny , Nanda <chandimaakijai> wrote: > > Dear All, > I read this today and wanted to share it with you.
