Thinking about It

We often feel that we need things to change around us, yet we don't know how. Swamini Supriyananda gives us insight into how we have to change before we see the change.

The power of love is one that should never be underestimated, and Swamini Supriyananda gives us a glimpse into this. It is said in the Vivekachudamini (a spiritual text by a great Hindu master, Adi Shankaracharya), if all qualities seem daunting to master, the one quality that will take you through towards attaining it is devotion to the Guru. She explains this with a real-life application of how love can make us move mountains, but as a seeker devotion will help us pull through the difficulties of reaching that goal.

Why should we have single-pointedness? She succinctly discusses how it will help us deal with the situation better.
