Connections with others:
When I thought deeper about the rope what came up was the feeling of connection.
A pertinent question is how do we connect? I realised that the thing that makes us connect is the action we take towards the person who we wish to connect with. Let’s begin from home if I wish to connect deeply with my family members my actions will determine if this is achieved or not. If I take loving kind actions then my connection will deepen. What really makes the connection authentic and deep is the fact that I am fully present in the action. It should not be that I do the action bug am not present with it. This would be actually a hollow step and will surely not lead to a deeper connection but will appear fake and inauthentic. Connections are deep when you have the ability to be vulnerable in front of them. When you are vulnerable it’s only then that Ypu will be able to share a deep bond and this bond will not only thrive but many more will get added and it will blossom and grow.
Actions that are taken are not impulsive and in response to external triggers and not taken from the space of love. They have to be calm and responsive instead of reactive . That’s what leads to a better bond a better connection and more flow of love.
How to connect with the self:
We are so much identified with the periphery of our being that we have forgotten that the periphery does not exist in itself. There must be a center inside. And the search for the center is the only religious search — not for God, not for heaven, not for any rewards for your virtues, not to avoid hell and punishment.
Only one thing is not man-manufactured and that is your innermost dignity, your innermost grace. That grace starts flooding your outer being too. And that grace transforms not only the inner, but gives a new look to your outer being: an innocence, a serenity, a depth, a peace, a love, and these are all flowers blossoming around you. Then even your periphery becomes so beautiful, so musical, such a dance of rejoicing. But you should start from the inner.
