OR, GET OVER YOURSELF

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you. -- Ramana Maharshi, as quoted in Eknath Easwaran's "Words to Live By"

There is a sentence akin to that quote in C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia," which maybe why that is a favorite book of mine. I do not recall it exactly so paraphrased: By my seeking I will find my Father as he himself will be seeking me. Gives me goosebumps and makes me want to whisper hallelujah.

On the same page of the Easwaran book is what has become my core lesson to learn and live:  If you curse him, he will bless you; if you harm her, she will serve you; and if you exploit him, he will become your benefactor.

There. That sentence is all about our Father within's how to live a turned-over life. Not just for us to know, but for us to show by our living it.

It is little wonder it takes so long for us to do that. Which is actually the good news. It takes a long time to inner-learn that there is naught to learn since the final answer is always, Love and Laugh.

Thank you.
