The Path
Yesterday,Ragi Kadirgamar ‘did a session’ at our work place, which unfortunately I was too
late to attend. What he offers is Satsang, or spiritual talks based on
Advaita teachings. See below an excerpt
from his flyer
Talks & Meetings.“What are you seeking?”If you don’t clearly know what you are seeking,HOW can you find it, or know it?And what specifically are the causes of suffering that ‘apparently’ prevent people from gettingwhat they want in life?“How can you live your daily life, in peace and harmony?”Like his Guru, Ragi guides spiritual seekers away from simply accepting the profound conceptual truth,‘Consciousness is I - I am Consciousness’,towards an understanding and acceptance ofmanifested life itself – Acceptance of What Is.
If the
reactions of my colleagues, and previous sessions with Ragi are anything to go
by, they do a lot for one’s well being.
But I have a problem with the
question “What are you seeking?”
Why should
you be seeking something? A higher goal, a meaning of life. How about you just make choices about the
paths that you wish to travel in your
life’s journey. Just make a conscious
effort to avoid the asphalt, with the steel and glass buildings, and the
traffic fumes, and just choose the gravel path, with its green borders , its
flowers, its birdsong.... and then what
does it matter where it takes you?
