Wisdom & Prabodh
Never say slow down to yourself. Say simplify,
“I need to simplify my life. I need to do less things each day. I need to be doing things that are aligned with my priorities in life & stay focused on just doing these things, because these things are what are truly important to me”
Give yourself permission to fail and to get back on the path when you stray.
Give yourself permission to be free of like, dislike, judgment, worry, fear, and ego.
Give yourself permission to let go of the past, live every day to its fullest, to love and forgive equally, to do for others, and most importantly, to love yourself.
This Amazing Mystery Called Life
We are feeling that somehow came alive and no one knows how or why that happened – no one knows what created life. Yet here we are – alive on a tiny speck of dirt and water floating through endless space. For most people, this mystery called life is most sacred, and it fills us with amazement and wonder. “Sumarti” is about how to relax into this mystery and be present in it every moment.
Sumarti is about being more aware of what is understandable, not about finding something that is hidden or lost. It is about connecting with what is sacred through your experiences, not through beliefs or faith. Our experience is that life itself is already so sacred that devotion is enough – that faith and beliefs need not even figure in unless you want them to. In short, it is about how to replace words and thoughts about life with your direct experiences of life, and how to then evaluate and trust your experiences. It is about connecting directly with sacredness through increasing inner peace, love, fellowship, and goodness in your life.
Freedom Is Being Present
We live two lives: we live life in our thoughts, and we live life as our experience of the present moment. Freedom comes as our life in thoughts diminishes and our experience of the present moment predominates. Freedom comes through learning how to balance thoughts and the present moment.
