So I just want to go back to,
It was Michael,
About you where I saw you were standing over sort of a spot marked X on the ground.
And you were saying to yourself,
I have to fix myself.
And the X is,
You know,
X marks a spot.
But you were standing there,
Not knowing how to get into the process at all of deepening.
And Amma has said,
You know how sometimes if she says something,
It's like she's saying it just to the listener.
And it felt like she was saying to me when I heard it.
But she said,
You have to be like a seed and go underground,
Go under the ground.
It's like,
Bow your head enough to go underground so you can sprout.
It's like,
Get humble enough,
Realise that you really don't know how to do things,
Not you personally,
Michael,
Just any of us.
You don't know how to proceed on the journey.
And you know,
Pray with humility.
And it's sort of like sit back and watch really,
You stop trying to fix.
You start just being with yourself and observing.
And indeed,
We do go underground,
And we sprout.
It's a very accurate depiction of how the bigger journey is lived.
That's why the more experience you have on the spiritual journey,
The less bossy you get with the universe.
You just stop trying to tell the universe what to do,
Or whatever.
You just kind of,
You learn to observe,
Observe yourself,
And observe others and purify.
So you're always working with self purification.
