Other's Humility

.

Spiritually speaking,
what is it that could separate
the men from the boys?

How we react to other’s:
• humility,
• vulnerability,
• selflessness and
• lack of pretence
speaks volumes about our spiritual development.

I was just in Junior High School when “The Empire Strikes Back” was first released,
how old were you?
Could you recall Luke’s first encounter with Yoda,
in the swamps of Degobah?


Like many high, spiritual guides,
Yoda always made sure to test an applicant,
before accepting him as a student.

How did Yoda get Luke to quickly reveal his character?
He did so by acting:
• humble,
• vulnerable,
• silly and
• playful;
• without any sense of self, dignity, or pretence.

What was Luke’s reaction?
It was selfishness, impatience, and despair.

In this age, many spiritual dabbler’s are more interested in teaching the path
then in actually accomplishing it.
Many are more prone to deny the benefit of the doubt,
rather than give it.

Many are more prone to behave in a predatory manner
then in a nurturing one.
Come, let us tread wisely upon the spiritual path.

Have you reserved your place in the Thursday series of weekly webinars ?

May you and yours be
happy and healthy!

Om Mani Padme Hum,
