Effort Does Not Change The Person

Do remember a pilgrimage where all the pilgrims are usually saints . I had undertaken it just to experience the grace of God. I had seen saints and would try and be like them. What I realised was, the authenticity and the natural flow of love was not there. Then I stopped trying and In a simple way started being in love , in gratitude of everything received, in awe of the gifts nature was bestowing upon me, the realisation of what nature and my life was trying to teach , and then I could sense a natural change happening within me.

Wonderful, Shyam. May the grace of understanding keep flowing in for you . Actually your comment is very suitable for the previous week's Awakin reading as well ( Awe walks)
