My family calls me Pancho and I'd like you to know that I love you all.
It is always a joy to share spacetime at the Kindness Temple. I've noticed that the number of siblings coming to Wednesdays have increased in the last weeks. More souls have been touched and the ripples of the insurrection of love only get stronger and stronger. These were the 3 points I shared that Wednesday:
1. Fearlessness
2. Freedom
3. Gandhi, Tagore and the Ultimate Freedom
1. Fearlessness
One could be not afraid of anything but that doesn't mean one is fearless. Because if we are courageous and feel no fear of anything but some people are afraid of us, we have not reached true fearlessness. To be fearless is to be respectful and loving towards all living beings.
2. Freedom
One could claim to be free and have no physical chains but that doesn't mean one is free. Because if we are have the ability to pick our choices but we promote economic slavery, we foster war we support oppressive regimes, we have not reached freedom at all. Te be free is to respect and honor the freedom of all living beings.
3. Gandhi, Tagore and the Ultimate Freedom
Perhaps Gandhi was one of the most powerful spiritual geniuses of the ages. He was a genius in the art of living. Right before the starting of his most powerful satyagraha, his very close friend Tagore asked him what was the next step he was planing for the independence of the part of the Planet we call India. Gandhi had no idea, he was "waiting for a Divine Call". Gandhi's inner freedom allowed him to wait equanimously while many people were feeling the precious opportunity to overthrown the British was slipping from their hands. Little did they know, the Mahatma --as Tagore, and later most of the World, called him-- was about to birth one of the most spectacular nonviolent direct actions humanity has ever witnessed.
Gandhi's main message was that there could be no nonviolence without fearlessness. Therefore, the ultimate freedom is the freedom from fear.
May all become compassionate, courageous and wise.
