Striving with constant effort,
cleansing himself of all sin
through many lifetimes, as last
he attains his ultimate goal.
(Bhagavad Gita 6:45)
~
A single step is finite in its giving - and yet the stride is
endless from this gift. We have this lifetime and
still more we have the infinite.
In a single step...we could run forever.
- There is right effort - with no strain but an act of devotion - we return countless times to purify ourselves through the steps we give to the path. We have chosen to be runners for the gift of effort - we face it full on with openness and a willingness to transmute suffering to the noble pursuit of knowing the Self through the distance that we cover. Our effort is wise. Our spirit is strong. Indeed through many lifetimes...we may run forever.
Peace,
Eric
