Spiritual Love and Wise Effort

On this podcast we will explore how wise effort in dharma practice is an expression of spiritual love.  

"What can truth or reality gain by all our practice? Nothing whatsoever, of course.   But it is in the nature of truth or love, cosmic consciousness, whatever you want to call it, to express itself, to affirm itself, to overcome difficulties.   Once you've understood that the world is love in action, consciousness or love in action, you will look at it quite differently.   But first your attitude to suffering must change.   Suffering is primarily a call for attention, which itself is a movement of love.   More than happiness, love wants growth, the widening and deepening of awareness and consciousness and being.   Whatever prevents that becomes a cause of pain, and love does not shirk from pain".   Nisargadatta Maharaj,

That's an amazing thing to say, that love doesn't shirk from pain, that what love wants is not pleasure. There is something deeper or higher, that's richer, that is our capacity, or our birthright, or our deepest need.   Please join us in a supportive community as we deepen our understanding of loving and wise effort.  We belong to each other and all are welcome to belong.
