A Wasted Experience
"Waterfall, river, and lake"- the authors visualization of the ten days of meditation
This morning I was reading Men's Journal and came across an article about a guy who spent ten days in an ashram in India. It caught my interest because I felt I could learn from author's spiritual journey.
What I learned was how uncomfortable he was and how he tried to break the rules. In the end he says that he is a changed person. This did note seem real to me.
He choose to go there to be changed, to learn how to meditate, and get closer to the source. Instead of choosing to embrace the experience he fought it and then claimed that it changed him. Maybe I am judging him?
I just feel sorry for him that he wasted such an opportunity. How many of us would have an opportunity to spend ten days learning to pray and getting closer to God. Probably not many.
Today's question is:
"Do you embrace the change that you want to happen or do you fight it?"
