Love this! So relevant and pertinent, compared to the “drivel” I have heard and read from other folks! Thank you for sharing and caring enough to grace the WORLD we share with this life-serving perspective, ahimsa

Simple brilliance especially the part about the skunk

A great talk on why enlightment can never/should never be persued (it is the result, but we cannot understand it until it is experienced and should not declare we have found 'it'. There is no benchmark other than not grasping to the concept of enlightment/achieving unconditional single-mindedness)

Loyalty to one thing ... whether it be compassion …love …gratefulness... So my aim is to be saturated in this one thing. Such easygoing, simple, accessible wisdom.

Unwavering loyalty to simply BEing an absolutely, unconditionally wonderful human BEing as we relentlessly improve our loyalty to the wonderfulness of SIMPLY being human, a life serving, JOYful human BEing rather than human “doing”! Each breath is an opportunity recognize our un wavering loyalty to the divinity that flows through each of us, unique to NO one of us, the divinity whose center is EVERYwhere, whose circumference is NOwhere. Sadhguru graciously shakes up, in this talk, how enLIGHTenment abounds in this life I AM blessed to live, www.gratefulness.org.

Surrender, acceptance of LIFE (Living Integrated, FULLy Embodied, www.living-compassion.org), on life’s termS is described eloquently in the 4th edition of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book (AABB Pg 417, www.aa.org) in the acceptance paragraph and by Sadhguru in this audio as Sadhguru graciously discusses enLIGHTenment, JOYfully, playfully, in an enLIGHTened manner.

Surrendering to LOVE, surrendering to compassion, recognizing all else is imagined confusion, recognizing that FEAR is simply self will regarding the future, resentment is simply self will regarding the past, self pity and depression are simply self will in the present moment, creates room to experience the pulse of enLIGHTenment, breath by breath, JOYfully.

Loyalty, for me, is willingness to surrender this life (actions) and this will (thinking), addressing my living problems
(self centeredness,
selfishness and
self seeking)
relieving me of symptoms (alcoholism, CO-Dependency, clutter, debting and other compulsivities including eating issues).

“Inner Engineering (Author: Sadhguru)”, www.stevenpressfield.com ‘s “the War of Art”, “Going Pro”, AABB offer me support, a new way of living. So exciting to experience alignment with and loyalty to gifts of spirit (Compassion, Empathy, Faith, Hope, Humility, Joy, Love, Peace, Perserverance, Self-Responsibility) verses finite life alienating substanceS and behaviorS!

Each moment of surrendering self will, asking only “what can I do in this moment that is of maximum service?” is the gift of enlightenment that graces pages 1-103, 417 and 567-8 of AABB and the gift of this JOYfully enLIGHTened talk by Sadhguru which reminds me of the Dalai Lama XIV’ s wisdom, “we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion....

This, then, is 
my true religion, 
my simple faith. 
In this sense, no need exists 
for temple or church, 
for mosque or synagogue,
no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine or dogma. 
Our own heart, 
our own mind, is the temple.
The doctrine is compassion. 
Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are: ultimately these are all we need.

So long as we practice these in our daily lives, then no matter if we are
learned or UNLEARNED, whether we believe in Buddha or God, or follow some other religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy.”!

EnLIGHTenment is the gift of continuous improvement, the quality of BEing unwaveringly loyal to ONE quality, compassion, for example, in ALL we do, BE and exist in, no matter what happens, reGUARDless (“Compassionate Presence”, Stephen R. Schwartz). In gratitude, ahimsa
