Teachings from the Avadhuta Brahmana: From the Earth, I have learned:

12/03/2022

How can we see the Divine and feel His presence in the course of our daily experience?
By using rational intelligence in bhakti-yoga, we can acquire knowledge.

A sensitive, reasonable person can acquire real knowledge and happiness simply by carefully observing the world around him. By observing the happiness and distress of other living entities, one can understand what is beneficial and what is destructive.

The saintly man said: My dear King, with my intelligence I have taken shelter of many spiritual masters. Having gained transcendental understanding from them, "I do not consider the material elements of the physical world as objects of my pleasure, and therefore I don't consider accepting or rejecting them. Rather, I accept the material elements as my instructing spiritual masters. I now wonder about the earth in a liberated condition. Please listen as I describe them to you.

From the hearth, I have learned tolerance:

Despite the exploitation of the earth's planet by human beings, the pollution, and the heavyweight of sinful activities, still the earth tolerates and keeps giving all the necessary items we need for life.

In the same way, despite the constant influences of negativity in this world, we should learn to patiently tolerate and at the same time remain generous toward others. On a more subtle level, a spiritualist will learn to tolerate the urges of his own mind and senses.

Anytime we see the earth, feel grateful for being supported and nourished by mother earth, we can remember the lesson of tolerance and get the strength to tolerate the situations of life.

SACINANDANA SWAMI’S NEW YEAR MESSAGE:

Step off the hamster wheel, start fresh, and have an exciting and fulfilling year.

Let's not idealize normalcy!

It is fact that with structure and routine we are able to increase our
effectiveness and efficiency. We appear to be accomplishing so many things, but without knowing where we are headed, we might end up feeling that life is entangling us. Such a life is more about making it through than getting to.

This holds especially true when it comes to our spiritual life. The more we lose touch with our spiritual goal-our North Star-the more our spiritual practices feel like obligations or even burdens. We even get caught up in compensating our emptiness by feverishly working towards projects that then become excuses.

How to change this? How to step off the hamster wheel and live a vibrant spiritual life?

First: know that change is possible.
Second: don't doubt that change is possible.
And third: have faith that change is possible.

Change is possible when we follow the principles of spiritual transformation:

1. Connect with your North Star. Do it on a regular basis. It may be daily, weekly, bi-weekly. But connect often enough to remain on course.
2. Define steps and spiritual practices that will bring you to your goal.
Create favourable circumstances to reach these.
3. Take action (sankalpa). Small steps each day will give success. Pick steps that you can actually do and build on your strength. Be determined!
4. Pray! Open up to mercy knowing that you are not the mover, but that you are being moved.
5. Expect miracles!

Your North Star will show you where you are going-you will feel invigorated and enlivened by walking towards it. Divine mercy will carry and empower you! Thus, feeling vibrant and contented, you will bring increasing benefit to your life and the lives of others.

How to connect to your North Star?
Here is a very simple exercise that can bring deep insight, or at least get you started:
Take a moment or two of "me time" (preferably before you start your day).
Take a few smooth, long breaths and let your mind settle in.
Sit in silence and ask yourself, "Who am I? What is my North Star? What is my next step?"
Let the answers rise from within, and receive them with appreciation and gratitude.
And then start moving! Paths don't appear by only thinking them; they come by walking them.

So, start fresh, and have a vibrant New Year!
