Karma Yoga

"His Voice still calls you to return, and He will be  heard when you put no other gods before Him."
(A Course in Miracles)

What is your idol? Is it power, wealth, status or sex? There must be something because if the Course in Miracles is right and there is nothing left that lures you, you would already be home in which case you would be unlikely to browse my blog. In my experience there are two stages in the homecoming process. First, you must recognize what exactly the force is that drives you away from your center. But once you have understood it, you can't wish it away, you can't meditate and you can't pray it away.  You certainly can't hate yourself over it, I mean you can, but I hope you see that this isn't going to help you along your spiritual path either.

 I chose the title karma yoga because in my experience that's the second step that gets you finally home. Create something, use the tension inside you to propel you along a healing path. Find the work and the hobby that gives you the spiritual meaning. For many of us our family is a path of healing. Just explore and you will find your creative outlet. You have the right to work, Lord Krishna says in the Gita. This world was made for you to find yourself, so your creative outlet is something that always will show up in your life once you look for it. Yes there will be sweat and tears along the way but only until the blessed day when you discover that you have a choice in this too. How do you know if you are on the right track? Well, it is joy and laughter. Once people around you smile and are joyful you know that you are on the right track. Of course that has to include you. So enjoy!

 It will be easy for you to find out whether you are on the right track. Your joy and the joy of others will show you the direction.
