Talkin' Bout an Evolution


Talkin' Bout an Evolution


You already know that we humans were put on this earth to grow spiritually. But to what end? We could isolate ourselves and become renowned religious scholars, citing spiritual verse up and down the block. But this isn’t really what spiritual growth is about. To create an internal spiritual evolution, we need to learn to feel, to push outside of ourselves, to extend our love and care towards one another.

Our actions don’t have to be huge or grandiose. They can be as simple as making a stranger feel better or a friend become more motivated to get involved in his or her life. Ultimately, the point is to open our heart and to feel the pain of others.

All of us notice and see the things happening around us. The pain and destruction is
overwhelming. The world is hurting, and we have to act. Our choice is to meditate for people from high in an ivory tower or to truly feel their pain inside ourselves and make a difference on the ground.
