Many thanks namaste, enlightening thoughts you share,
synchronistic thoughts regarding balance
I take time to convey this because of a strong sense and experience that all things should flow in balance... there is a time for all seasons, and each brings meaning in the circle of seasons. In this sense, we should avoid believing that our earthly journey must be pure delusion... rather it has many purposes... evolving us thru Karma (law of creation, cause and effect) -- or thru teachers and books, -- or thru SAT Guru...
I was just reading some Native American wisdom, " according to the Native People, the Sacred Space is the space between exhalation and inhalation. To Walk in Balance is to have Heaven (spirituality) and Earth (physicality) in Harmony, which I now have as my signature as a reminder.
"A time for all seasons " and so there is, time for learning, time for teaching, time for sharing, time for caring, walking along a path not always straight and forward, leaving options open for new ideas and possibilities, unknown or unthought of ~ until another crosses our path and we journey together, as if guided by the Divine.
Our "road to return" permits us to cognize beauty and harmony in the all encompasing, and in that awakening state may be revealed how to "live in the world, but not be a part of it"... calmly active, and actively calm from an ever expanding, ever new joyful center... yet, it does NOT mean we drop our earthly duty and service ! (No need, for in balance (with our true nature), our service simply flows, less and less constrained by ego / karma)
Seems to be a thin line, this " living in the world, but not be a part of it " seems some chose to not be a part of it
..."and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart"....
beautiful yet sad, to keep the stars apart, when there is such beauty in the heavens as one gazes upon the vastness of the universe lit up by starlight.
