Reading my favorite book, “daughter drink this water” by jaiya John today I came upon this passage:
“Be reassured. Like sea tide receding over the brilliance of sand, purpose in your life shall be revealed. Love is the only true work you do in this world”.
It seems to me that people need reassurance now more than ever. The good news is that makes them more receptive to loving kindness. Darkness does not cast out darkness. Only light can do that. Only love can expel hatred and villainous behavior. It may sound hokey but it’s true. Love carries a frequency, a vibration that is more powerful than we can know.
I attended an Inside the Actors studio taping of the interview with Sir Ben Kingsley, the uber talented actor who played Ghandi. I was struck by how the energy in the room was different than it had ever been. The positive energy field created by this man was palpable. I was mesmerized. I could see how he was the best choice to play Gandhi. The love and kindness this man embodies has the ability to transform.
I believe we all have that energy within. It’s a matter of cultivating it. Of practicing loving kindness to ourselves and to others at every opportunity. If you encounter any other living being in your day today make it your goal to demonstrate the highest form of loving kindness you can muster. You will see that this, in itself, is very reassuring.
