I
am amazed at how I have gone from having nothing to say to blabbing away in
these posts. I thought I had nothing to write about, but all I had to do was
turn my attention towards writing one post and the rest sort of took care of
itself. That initial gesture of going to my blog site was like a gentle, almost
inaudible knock on the door of my skull, and it opened right away. Without this
sort of attention, or rather, turning to (I love this phrase, ‘turning to, or
towards,’ ) we can so easily become vegetables (don’t mistake me, I love
vegetables, I just don’t want to be one).
Guru
Nanak (my book on him, THE SINGING GURU, will be out in March/April in the US
and India) has a word for this turning to, Gurmukh, one who turns his/her face
towards God. That’s all you need to do – turn. Don’t face your shadows or your
ego, but face God and your shadows will move behind you. All will take care of
itself without any effort on your part.
Perhaps, but the Effort is also part of the Contract....it's just how we react and expend our energy dealing with all that comes at us.
