On The Battlefield

On the battlefield: 

sometimes there's still a bit of lag between situations and forgiveness, it isn't quite an instantaneous practice for me as of yet - but more often now it's a soft underflow throughout my day, always present and available, being a constant returning point that brings an immediate sense of peace. I'm reminded of the lesson that Krishna offered Arjuna on the battlefield, that we're entitled only to our actions, the choices we make within any given moment, and that whatever falls after belongs to God alone. Forgiveness is my choice, the option of purest action...

and the peace that follows is God.

it's my battlefield choice most often, and much sooner now,

finally.

Step Off the Battlefield

Step off the battlefield: 

I like to imagine that while still on the battlefield, post fighting and with a quiet peace beginning to settle, Krishna offers one more path of yoga to his pupil Arjuna, a fifth, and for now, still secret path shared just between them. With a whisper it's revealed that forgiveness transcends the actual battle that was only imagined, frightfully so, but still taking place in the collective mind shared by all. This is the yoga of forgiveness, an escape from maya, and even more direct than all the other paths. The truth is -that ancient battle was brief in its pause, we have continued to war against ourselves...

and it's still imagined,

only maya,

just waiting to be forgiven.

this moment, right now, is the age of true yoga. 

we step off the battlefield.

once and for all.

forgiving the dream...and returning home.

together.

Fifth Path

Fifth path: 

in the Bhagavad Gita Krishna outlines the four paths of yoga for Prince Arjuna, and of these Bhakti yoga, the path of devotion, was said to be the most direct means of realizing God. In the text, forgiveness is mentioned at least twice, stating that it's a virtue, a divine quality that's naturally displayed as a benefit of a yogi's practice. In a step further, or so it's been with me, Jesus, in A Course in Miracles, presents the fifth and surest path to our reunion with God...

forgiveness, as a complete practice, 

taking us all the way home. 

this is a more radical forgiveness than mentioned in other spiritual text, it's the continuous challenge of recognizing our own innocence, our Christ identity, through the presence of others. This is a grace extended by the sincerity of our practice, containing the very essence of the salutation Namaste, that I wish only to see the light within you so that I may recognize my own. Forgiveness is the remembrance of God even as our forgetfulness challenges us, defying the powerful pull of fear, and falling time after time into the presence of God's love. It's the greatest of all devotion.

forgiveness is the yoga of returning home,

directly so,

and we're all yogi's...

through the sincerity of our practice. 

namaste.
