The Natural Order of Things | August 6, 2014
While we live, we are able to live.
When it's time to die, we are able to die. This is the natural order of
things, and to the extent that we align ourselves with this, we
experience peace even in the midst of distress.
- Meikyo Robert Rosenbaum, "Breathless"

“The
main aspect of the spiritual journey is creating union. Every river
flows towards the ocean, and the ocean never refuses a river. But, for
the river to approach the ocean, it must have the strength to overcome
all of the challenges along the journey. This strength is gained through
the union of various rivers, because one river alone easily
disappears.”
Sri Prem Baba
