re: courageous conversations about race: always two sides for balance

[Guest guest]

This child of Amma feels that ultimately, we must realize that maya is suffering

and this world is suffering. There are many people, and organizations dealing

with these issues. Bringing awareness to these issues. It would be good to join,

participate in, and discuss with those in these organizations.

 

This list however is to focus on the higher, ultimate purpose of spirituality,

which ultimately benefits all of this. Compassion and love on the practical

level are very important, but again, this world is suffering.

 

Our spiritual practices, meditations, and spiritual growth I feel help raise the

global consciousness of the planet Earth therefore affect ALL of these issues

though on a different level.

 

We are getting there, we are coming along, look at how we are doing compared to

the Dark Ages when people were suffering constantly, or slavery was widespread

and common. But the Earth overall is still not at the level we would like to

see, or abiding by the dharma we would like to see. However, things are getting

better, and looking up.

 

But as is often said, our material comforts have increased, but our spiritual

focus has decreased so it is a double edged sword.

I agree....material comforts are necessary, but the focus is on

higher awareness of love, and this has to involve self restraint and

control of the senses
