OnWord Tweet us! Thank you for reading the September 2014 edition of PARVATI MAGAZINE. When we choose fierce commitment to living our true, divine nature, we no longer wish to engage in thoughts and activities that hold us back. Self-sabotage and tired old habits lose their appeal. A life of fierce commitment to awakening may feel daunting, or even impossible at times. There is no race, no pressure and no push for fierceness in our lives. Feeling such would only come from self-judgment stemming from lack of self-love. Fierceness arises naturally as we move along the spiritual path. It may show its face to us many times before it becomes so present that we no longer wish to resist it. As we live in the open and compassionate nature of true fierceness, surrendering the egoic sense of “me” being in control, we find that the consciousness beyond our separate sense of self is powerfully luminous and profoundly compassionate. In this, we come to understand that we are lose nothing in letting go of our small self, but gain an infinite sense of expansion, self-love, and connectedness with all things. May love spark your fierce inner light so that you shine brightly and serve the world. Love yourself. Love others. Love our world.
