This morning I accompanied my mother a ride.
It was lonely, tired, old. Her husband is sick, and stress the concerns are flooding. We never had a relationship of friendship, often in the past has even been conflicting because of our different beliefs, but today, simply asked me: "Spend some 'time with me, will you?"
I could have done more, perhaps many things that would make me happier, or spending a day relaxing, but the right thing to do, faced with a quiet request for help, I think it is responding. "'Iusta' does not mean that ethics requires it or that the moral commands it ... just felt that as the path to take, the slope of the hill along which slide down without resistance.
I've got an afternoon, I was happy.
way home I thought of compassion.
One of the paths that lead to enlightenment is really charity, service to others, the unselfish gift of self for them ... but why? Because lighting should pass from the charity, how this practice helps the flow of consciousness and the rise of the spirit?
make them instruments of charity means to flow through if things as they should be. Mean 'the ego with its commitments and allow their existence by means of another, a channel that can flow compassion, universal love that pervades existence.
Charity is practiced in this way is very similar to the principle of meditation practice. For this reason, in my opinion, is half as effective as more natural fit in the flow of awareness of the existence and universal harmony.
