Spiritual Being

Lord Krishna was on the battle field with Arjun who had to fight for his kingdom against his own friends and family and broke down under the weight of this bloody assignment. As he asked Lord Krishna for advice he discovered not only his True Self, but also   witnessed how Lord Krishna keeps the entire universe spinning with His Devine Presence. On the battle field, Lord Krishna was a charioteer, a 'lowly' position in the army hierarchy at that time. In the same vein, wherever you perceive power these days, take a good look around, chances are there is someone special in the near neighborhood whose very presence keeps the whole place going.

I wonder if the spiritual contribution of us path travelers is simply 'being', that is, simply being around and contributing good vibrations to our environment. You can study your energy vibrations over time just by seeing how the environment responds to you. You learn over the years when you are 'on' and when you happen to undermine your own energy flow. Over and over again you can see which activities pull you down and your surroundings with it. You have signed up for a tough act to follow my friend, because you need to be 'on' all the time. Only then are all the wheels spinning around you just as should be. But then, being a spiritual path traveler does come with a few metaphysical perks attached and then there is that infinite peace that  flows through you, this knowledge that whatever hits you, you have the license to cope with the situation at hand. So while there is responsibility that comes with the 'job' of a spiritual path traveler, I would sign up for this gig any time; hope you do as well!
