Thanks Kunal.
I have always wondered why going into prostration always felt like going home… Your thoughts might just be a piece in my puzzle :-)
I hope so :-)
Excellent
Salam Akhtar Sahib…after a long time. Thank you for your appreciation.
…and this post https://followyourshadow.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/lost-soul/ was inspired by a comment you left for me once. Thank you for it :-)
Greetings,
Thank you for this powerful post. It is a partner in this journey which (the ego) hopefully may be tamed.
All good wishes,
robert
I’m glad to hear that Robert. We can trace all negative qualities to the ego. It isn’t easy to tame the ego. I suppose the first step would be acceptance of any situation. Even accepting our own egos…maybe that would help?
Hi,
Yes, it is indeed difficult. I’ve lived now several decades, and still I am enslaved to it.
All good wishes,
robert
