I use to work with someone whose beauty was renowned. But she was never lucky. Boys left her, family didn’t like what she was involved. Her unhappiness steered her to a new path.
She started yoga because her friend owned a yoga establishment. She discussed yoga, spiritual enlightenment and the Buddha at all times. The other coworkers listened but remarked beyond her back at her lunacy. I just listened, I learned and researched. I became aware. But no one really cared what my view was. Yet, I practiced faithfully my new found spirituality.
When the time came, it helped me through cancer, surgeries and loss. And just recently to a life change experience. In my silence I have seen the fruits of my seedlings. No one will ever know for they never really believed I was that strong and spiritual.
It is a sad reality
But when the path speaks
You are the only one who will hear
You may speak your words
But only those who understand the path will listen
That’s the way it works
I hear you
Prayers and blessings

Most ears are deaf, sadly. The Path is for the Seeker. If it were not for faith I do not know how I this day would be alive. Namaste.

At the end of the road there is another path. Other’s roads may cross yours, but their trip will be different in terrain, length, duration, and destination.

I tried for a long time to define and communicate my own spiritual workings. I realised soon there was no point. Then people started to tell me about this theory that if someone feels something in their gut, an aversion of some sort to a concept or idea, and you put it into words, they will clamp down on that aversion and become even more irrationally averse to that idea, without really there being a reason.
The Japanese way of teaching makes more sense now: students will go to who they consider masters and learn because they ask to, rather than the Christian heritage of going, preaching, and trying to assimilate. With best intentions, no doubt, but it just cannot work.

You don’t need to talk about it when you are living it. I’m sure people feel your kindness even if they don’t reciprocate. Thanks for sharing this.
