Anyone steeped in knowledge will understand the interconnectivity of things. They would know every action starts a chain of reactions (karma), that there is no escaping karmic debt and in the end, there is no other. Pain inflicted on another, is pain inflicted on one's own consciousness.
The cosmic dance of life is much like a game. In some instances, the odds favor certain players. But odds keep changing.
The players can decide their strategy based on their understanding of the game. Is it only about one person winning over others or is it about contributing and building such that everyone gains? What happens if you jeopardise others by a move where you win but at the cost of others?
On the other hand, are you willing to risk it all by being open and vulnerable? Are you open to 'being played'?
It would be a relief to have a manual you can turn to for guidance - one which you could trust. One that would indicate the path to be taken when at crossroads.
People nowadays forget this Trump card given to us (any pun unintended). It is the Guru principle. You need to arrive at faith for a higher consciousness, complete this journey to be able to seek help & guidance. Faith that when the student is ready, a Guru comes your way. And when the Guru is here, you should use that opportunity because it's the easiest path to simplifying your life.
This happens in so many ways. A chance mention by someone, a course happening in your area, a longing or unexplained restlessness or coming across a blog :)
Maybe it is your time. Perhaps you need to take a step back and reflect. Time to have faith & the courage to face the most important question of one's existence - the purpose of YOUR life...and that is what a Guru will lead you to.
Jai Gurudev!
