Mindrolling with Raghu Markus

CHAPTER

The Power of Opening Heart

i like to say this is the kind of theme of mind rolling this podcass. How do we bring that down into the day to day life that we lead, and not be avoiding any of the stuff then just going around it. And i always suggest to people that once we can start to especially around doing service, it is a great practice. Once we can use it in a way that we can see what our motivations are. I love jack cornfield, who's a good friend of ours, he has, i you're just human. It's ok ys, yes. Really likely you.

a an to say to everybody, this is, this is a what we all are aspiring to. And i like to say this is the kind of theme of mind rolling this podcass is, how do we bring that down into the day to day life that we lead, and and not be avoiding any of the stuff then just going around it. We cannot go around it. And one interesting thing is in it, in your book, is that you have not, youve had a loto fering is a a young person growing up tremendous amount. And ah, you had to really face that stuff. And one of the things that i always get concerned about, people finding the path, but having, well, we all have tromand we all have suffering. It's just a matter of adi levels of it. But evading it and going around it, because we are now spiritual, is a common, common thing and theme. And i always suggest to people that once we can start to especially around doing service, it is a great practice, and once we can use it in a way that we can see what our motivations are. Like, you just said you were not going out and giving food, and you no putting it on a er, on a spread sheet, ok, monday the seventh, i did that. Don't starton y right? Get your gold star to day. But that's cool, if you do that, even that's cool, because all that really counts is some kind of mindfulness, awareness. We just mentioned, you mentiond. And that awareness has to include a non judgement. That's why romdas recent thing over the time, last years he was in mae was move out of your head into the centre of your chest, to the place of loving awareness, and use your breath to get there. And from that place, you can witness without gment and without being critical, and without killing yourself, like we all kill ourselves every day. And and we believe in every thought that goes by. So starting there. That's why i think that is so tremendously important. And ai, you cannot leave out, of course, the power of opening heart. You cannot leave that out. And those two things. And that's kind of our little mix in terms of what is happening now that we came back from india. And many of us, and weee been gathering with romdos for about 15 years, till two years ago, with our buddhist friends. And a just the wayand of t which that blend got man fest, it really had the discriminating wisdom the gon on one hand, and of course, the bati on the other, fully fully aware of the moment, moment, what do i need and what do i want? And that's ok andi. Gradually it takes here i am decades later. It takes a long i to manifest. And that's ok too. I love jack cornfield, who's a good friend of ours, he has, i you're just human. It's ok ys, yes.
