' The unchanging-self '...

First and foremost one must discover the unchanging-self or wellspring of grace. This is achieved by collecting all one’s energy from the innumerable psychological investments one has wrapped up in the preservation of the “me.” This does not mean changing one’s outer life, but rather unhooking one’s attachment to the demand to see “my life” work out a certain way. It is an inner revolt not an outer one. Once the exclusive identity is absorbed into the ether of things, then one experiences themselves in all things. It is only here that self-love evolves into the love for the innumerable expressions of form. Servicethen becomes a natural gesture as all things are seen as an extension of one’s self. ..........................Atreya Thomas
