Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: "What is the purpose of my life?"
The following is taken from the book: "From the Mating Dance to the Cosmic Dance"
People are at many different stages of development. But the only real difference between them is that some know they are divine, and others do not yet have that awareness.
It is difficult to change human nature until we have achieved the first degrees of awareness, of becoming truly human. The changes involved entail suffering for a time, but the suffering that results from greed, selfishness, and self-glorification is unending and undiminishing. Character-building, therefore, is the necessary first step.
In the yogic tradition, the next step is to ask the important question, What is the purpose of my life?
Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:
