To relate to others compassionately is a challenge, it means not shutting down on that person, but first not shutting down on ourselves. To do this requires openness, not fixating or holding on to anything, communicating from the heart and being present for that person.
Spirituality cannot be attained by external means or from others telling you about their idea of it. True spirituality is liberating, it is an organic part of everyday life. Free from the delusion of reality, and that we need something special to be happy, is an illusion.
Living life is easy if you don’t cling to good and bad, let go of preferences and everything will become clear. We cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of the world; we all need to increase our service along with our understanding, using our natural attributes of awareness and action.
At the beginning of things how to proceed may be unclear, there may be many choices, and the lack of direction may make things uncomfortable. First muster your internal strength and, if possible, seek direction and guidance from others, then a more concrete plan will unfold.
Quote: The very center of your heart is where life begins – the most beautiful place on earth.
