Truth Is Always Safe
To be a satyagrahi, (a term coined by Gandhi) means to be a person who holds firmly to truth. Living as a satyagrahi means living authentically. They stay true to their soul; face challenges with integrity and fearlessness; speak the truth; and turn to the Creator for guidance. The ego is the opposite. It acts like a guard dog trying to protect us from God, terrified of its own death and transferring that fear to us. When we live in ego, we either dominate or feel helpless, caught in a struggle between control and submission. True bliss comes when we live authentically, expressing our true Natures and allowing our misunderstandings and weaknesses to dissolve. We gradually feel lighter, happier, wiser and more fulfilled. Many Westerners have never been mothered deeply. This can leave us afraid to embrace and accept who we truly are. We feel that if we were truly ourselves, we could not survive in this world. But the Creator will always take care of a true satyagrahi!
