Part 1. How to be at peace within one's self?
Part 2. How to be at peace while in the world?
I understand and can execute part 1 now. I wasn't sure if once I could accomplish part 1 that part 2 would take care of itself. Apparently not. Onward with the path. The universe is so awesome with its' lesson plan. Options. I could create an environment that enables me to accomplish 1 and 2, but my idea for coming was to find that peace in every variation that the universe could create. I am actually getting the swing of India, but I am really not okay with watching brutality (a world wide issue) and not responding.
The situation with the horse abuse has tipped me off my axis a bit. I don't have the same inner emotion of anger, but I am not at peace. More homework. I have now made a complete circle to the point of why I came to India to look for answers on the spiritual path. Over the years of observing training, I have learned to do just that--observe. There may be a reason for the forceful correction, so one needs to understand the circumstances. Before I tend to react, I need to witness repeated abuse, so that I know that it is an unjustified pattern. I have been observing this with the trainer here for 3 months. In these situations, people don't tend to appreciate you bringing up the truth.
Question for the oracle.
1. In principle, the spiritual path leads us closer to truth--at least within our own sphere. Yes.
2. When you observe a disconnect from truth outside your sphere (tornado) do you:
a) Ignore it? (In principle, then you are part of the abuse.)
b) Address it? (Creating some sort of disturbance and movement towards duality.)
There was a sigh, head shaking and comment about the difficulty from the oracle. Suggestion--search within for a different answer than the two I outlined.
Now I am wondering, can one create a disturbance without moving towards duality. I hope Pahari Baba is up for this inquiry.
