HAPPY IS COMING HOME

This world is a place where we learn to return goodwill for ill will and love for hatred, to work harmoniously with others, and to put other people's welfare before our own. -- Eknath Easwaran, Words To Live By, May 15

That quote is a needed reminder that the Sermon on the Mount is our standard for daily living. More important, it is ours not by self-will, but by God's will, God's way, channeled through our raised consciousness. 

If we are "trying" to live it, we are still self-willing it, but fret not...we are heading in the right direction. Our spiritual mind is edging out the material, getting lighter by losing heavy-heavy-in-my-head.   

We stand on this: We seek God's will, God's way even as our thinking is being transmuted, and our consciousness raised. Comes then the realization...this Way has ever been ours, but self has blocked our in sight.

Not always, but more often than not, we now return goodwill for ill will and love for hatred, we work harmoniously with others, and put other people's welfare before our own.

Happy is coming home.🙏

Thank you.
