“There is only One temple in the world. It’s an internal temple and we each go there, our own way.” ~ Bhagvan Das
( From his memoir I’m reading currently called-
It’s here Now. Are you?
For practice-
After the recent move, and visiting parents/ in laws, it was an adjustment to keep up the routine I have been practicing every morning for last few years, inspired by Vivekji.
I call it-Daily CYR….
C-contemplation,
Y-yoga asana
R-Reading and wRiting daily
I have almost got dependent on this routine and I realized how restless I was getting when I was unable to follow it. I know one day I have to outgrow this dependence but until then, this is my connection to Him. This morning one hour spent with the sole purpose of remembering Him and listening to Him is the best time of the whole day and the joy I experience permeates through rest of my daily worldly activities.
So my commitment was to go back to that routine consistently after being inconsistent in last few weeks.
I realize I’m the happiest now….. sitting at His feet in my temple within….. listening to Him, writing to Him. Small simple verse composed yesterday-
I was a moon
with the borrowed light;
with the loan of days
and debt of night.
When you look at me,
embrace me in the mist of unconditional Love,
I become The Sun!
