Reaching For The Light ... p. 111

“… Sir, give me this water …”

King James Version of the Bible

THE ENLIGHTENED 
SOUL … p. 111

All else aside, we have a moral obligation to provide for our own well-being, physical and spiritual. Herein lies the rub: Familiar to most is the lifelong pursuit of earning a living, in itself both necessary and laudable. Much less so, however, are we given over to the needs of the soul, our ‘other,’ spiritual being.

Unbeknownst to many, it is this divine inner self that must, at the very least, be given equal time and study to that spent in the effort to earn a living.

The physical and spiritual aspects of life, while separate are nonetheless interdependent. If we are to know harmony of mind, body and soul, the incessant workings of the mind must give way in part to the enlightened soul. In the doing we become a changed person, with a new-found sense of empowerment and inner peace.
