Though it may be said that I, alone, am responsible for the
condition of my heart, and though I personally have no control over the heart
of another individual, only in blindness would I believe that I am not
connected somehow to every living being.
Simply casting my eyes on you or hearing your voice is a very real link
that truth cannot deny.
It is not the denying or severing of connections with others
that brings about inner freedom for that is spiritual blindness. Rather, it is the recognition of the nature
and quality of relatedness which leads to peace. To be awake is to see the fact of the
connection, the link between us all. To be at peace is to allow a Higher
Awareness to observe and to transform the nature and quality of our
relationship to life.
In assuming responsibility for the condition of my heart…in
focusing on the nature of my own relatedness, light is very truthfully cast upon
my whole world.
