Im reading the article from Tushita meditation centre in dharamkot. It's a place where many masters have come before. Theres a silent retreat happening, people contemplating, positive reflections for my soul to self inquire.

I remember your words, if you are always put down by those people around you, then the soul can't grow. The soul needs challenges but also positive feedback. I'm grateful to step out from my previous circumstances of my life, what it has done is a great shift in orientation. I believe if our orientation is aligned towards growth and expansion, then it's possible to see all of these challenges as a beautiful game with excitement and passion. There's wonder in the opportunity and the way ahead. There's less struggle or need for a particular resolution.

As I read your question immediately I saw some synchronicities, somebody near me dropped one of the leg of their table which happened twice! I think it's speaking about stability and balance. The fear of running out of resources and the challenge and importance of finding that in this world. My soul is saying bring it on! Because I feel it's also the greatest opportunity and if these experiences help me in shedding layers of the ego body mind, the attachment with the physical, then I don't want to be anywhere else. Much better to deal with it now than later. I also know the more I integrate this inside the better my expressions will be, whether it's music or facilitation service. That gives me an extra incentive to be in the self inquiry - the yearning to be authentic in this world. It reminds me of the book that came recently to me - In love with the world by Minguur Rinpoche. He left his monastery against all odds for a wandering retreat which he did for 4years. The fascinating thing is even after being a renowned teacher till the age of 36, he had his real awakening experience when he left for the wandering retreat. That book has inspired me so much. Basically he also recognised the value and passion of being in service to the world.

I really appreciate the opportunity to share and receive reflections.

Vimal🙏
