Late night chat centered around our Beloved. A sharing of hearts led by Margi Connor and Peter Goodman.
Jai Baba from India!
This topic this week is something that is an inevitable part of the human experience, grief. I was once told that grief is just simply love that has nowhere to go. Somehow this statement pierced through my heart so poignantly that it actually gave my heart permission to feel all that it had been carrying.
Along our journeys we are often meyered by the stories, experiences, and emotions of the ego, but I feel grief is something more pure. Oftentimes when we are in an emotional state, our Real selves are unreachable. True grief, in my opinion, is an unadulterated state of the heart and something that brings us ever closer to our Beloved. Is this your experience? Has your avoidance of grief kept you out of your heart leaving you feeling farther away from Him? Were you able to feel your grief and ultimately come to a deeper place afterwards?
Mehera was the perfect living example of how to handle grief. What She felt when She lost Her Beloved Baba is something that you or I could not even begin to fathom, but only marvel at Her example. What I find so important to point out and bring to attention is that She didn't repress the pain Her heart felt. She let Herself experience the ache of loss as She needed, then come out of it with poise. Part of me feels that She took on so much of our grief for us.
How has grief played a role in your life? Are you experiencing it now? Is it a constant along the path of annihilation or does it come in waves? How do we feel our grief, but also remain cheerful as Baba asks us to?
These are just a few questions to inspire the conversation tonight. I can't wait to see where this conversation goes.
In His Love,
Margi and Peter
