Pilgrimage is a spiritual journey, a journey of truth, a journey of faith. It is a journey of light that helps us see the truth. All forms and formulations change. Truth is beyond the changing forms and formulations. Truth is without walls. Truth is vast and unbound. It is not bound by walls and divisiveness. Truth is universal. Truth unites us. Truth is One. There is no divisiveness between my truth and your truth. Truth is like light. Truth is universal.
I have glimpses of Truth when my mind is free from mine and thine divisiveness. It is an experience of Oneness. What creates this Oneness? When do I realize such Oneness? When I love someone unconditionally I feel such Oneness. I realize it when I go beyond the walls of mine and thine and keep my mind and heart open, clear, and receptive in spite of apparent differences. There are numerous instances of experiencing such vastness and oneness in my life. I am blessed to be born in a relatively poor family but rich in heart accepting
and embracing apparent differences.
It is not easy to realize the Truth of ONENESS. At times, the noise of what is in for me stifles my inner voice, darkens my inner light. I have seen my parents welcoming people of different castes, classes, colors, and religions in my house. Practicing mindfulness, meditation and prayer has been very helpful to me walking on this path. Experiencing and practicing such truth has helped me to continue walking on this path.
May we all walk on such a pilgrimage for inner transformation! Amen!
Namaste!
