[The following is a reprint of my post of May 21, 2017.]
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. -- Eknath Easwaran, "Words to Live By," May 21
I don't want to be the "you" in that quote, I want to be the "him." the "her." The first time ever I read that, I knew it for my truth.
I first read that in 1996, and I'm closer today...oh, but, who's kidding whom, I have a far piece to go. We all do if we're doing it right, at least according to me.
I do count myself blessed that the majority of the time...that's 51% sometimes but that's the majority...my desire is for still more spiritual growth. That being so, the only direction to head is away from self, toward Self.
I personally love that we are told, repeatedly, when we choose to walk toward God, he will already be running to meet us. Isn't that a comfort?
Thank you.
