This year has been a big one. It is always a relief to get to its end, to take a small breather before it all begins again in 2012. Just a gentle reminder to look after yourself over the holiday period, be caring and considerate of others, especially when they do not meet your expectations. We do not have the power to control others, and nor should we. Even in stress, smile, it is the best way to signal positive energy and openness to others.
In the Gita, Shri Krishna was asked how it was possible to lead a successful life that nutured the community and the individual. His response was that one should repeatedly reflect on the spiritual philosophies of life; about birth & death, of the true nature of happiness, of thinking & consequence, of the purpose of the Atma (the soul) & the Paratma (the Divine One). With practice, this knowledge becomes yours, then your thoughts, words and deeds are guided by profound truths that have stood the test of time. You become wise, caring and loving, and those around you, by association, benefit also.
Join me in 2012 for the many programs we have on offer. Love and light to you all, namaste, Swami Ji
