THE DANCE OF AWAKENING Inside all of us Are great beings Who are wanting Needing and insisting Upon full expression— Even and especially when We are unconscious of Our true Self. Suffering, pain, fear and Confusion are all results Of this forgetting And failing to recognize Who we really are— All of this emotional turmoil Is like a cauldron of shit Which will go on boiling Underneath all of our nice Appearances and pretensions, As it has been doing for lifetimes And will keep on doing forever—- Until the longing in to be Conscious, loving and free Becomes a driving force That can no longer be Ignored, deflected or restrained— And we take up prayer and Practices on our own heart’s Way to freedom and we begin The dance of awakening.

A BEAUTIFUL, SOUL STIRRING SONG for you from Chinmayan’s Curated Playlist
This is a sweet kirtan by Wah of the mantra “Lokah Samistah Sukhino Bhavantu” repeated to an inspiring melody.
I put this powerful mantra at the bottom of every issue of “The Dawning Light” as a prayer, a blessing and a gift to you.
It has a profound meaning which I have translated below…
This 9 minute video flows with amazing pictures and quotes from Amma…and is one that I highly recommend immersing yourself in through repeated viewing, listening and singing along!
“May all beings everywhere in the universe be happy and free—-and have all that they need!”
