WOW! Stealing the true understanding of who you are by getting drawn into all the comings and goings, all the happenings. Watch the watcher. Thank you for that. And the part about believing in the best possible action when Sw Asokananda had the challenging email. Thank you. Since I was a kid, I loved the most difficult family members more on purpose. Everybody else shunned them. I'm not downing them for doing that, everybody does what they do. But the ones that got dumped...I saw their goodness when people saw only the bad things. I loved these people I'm glad they have known it. There has to be a mirror, someone who reflects what's good about a person, a path to alignment. I know it's why I'm here. I've done it for people who aren't commonly accepted since I was a kid. I can't not love people. Everybody's getting closer to the Divine, some take more time but the Truth leaves nobody behind. We can help each other.

Jaya jaya Karuṇābdhe Śrī Mahādeva Śambho!
