The Inward Sea

We all have the potential source of Inner Light to see the Reality, the Truth, the Sacredness. Such inner light shines when our eyes do not get blinded by the power of hungry and self-centered people in our life. We are witnessing such authoritarian, power hungry, and self-centered leaders in many parts of the world creating divisiveness, hatred and destruction. How do create a world where we can relate to each other as highly evolved human beings? How can we create light in darkness? We have been blessed to witness highly evolved leaders like Mahtama Gandhi, Howard Thurman, Martin Luther King Jr and others mentioned in the introdution of the passage. This is a call for all of us to wake up, to remain awake, to join hands with our brothers and sisters and take a firm and strong stand for peaceful coexitence. Cultivating inner qualities of knowing the truth, listening to it with an open mind and open heart, and taking a courageous stand and joing hands with others is my way of going through such diificult times. When I am walking on this path I remain alert, awake and aware of not taking a wrong step. I am blessed to have people in my life who provide a clear mirror to see my blind spot. I am very grateful to them for helping me to walk clearly on my path of serving others. Studying and following the Eightfold Path of the Buddha has been very helpful to me in my journey of life. May we all awaken and walk on the path of authenticity, compassion and selfless service! The Eightfold Path

Thank you, Jagdish P Dave, for this post as it touches me and feels to ring true for me as well.

This is so beautifully written JPD! I distance myself from worldly powers … self centered folks. There is little “movement/flexability/growth” when in relationship with “power”. It/she/he always has its way. By holding on to our “inner life”, we create “a safe place” to process what we experience in our “outer life”. Everything is more pure, free and surreal “inside”. The Divine (in me) … does not use His power to dictate and control … but rather to Live, Move and Secure my BEing.🌱🌷🌱
