Reading from the Ashtavakra Gita (“Heart of Awareness” by Thomas Byrom), the message is to recognize the nature of things and be still. When you know that all sorrow comes from fear, you become free of it, and desire melts away. Flow freely and ask, “What would I do if I felt most secure?” Drop your fear and know that Grace will carry you.

In the Ramayana, Sri Hanuman said to Lord Rama, “Faith is the highest blessing,” and requested faith as his boon. Lao Tzu encouraged us to recognize the ego as a monkey catapulting through the jungle and to remain in the center watching, then forget you’re there. Ramakrishna advised that if one can’t release the ego, one should let it remain as a servant of God. // While Faith is most aligned with the path of devotion; recognizing that all is arising allows one to release the sense of doer-ship and remain as Peace.
