(rough transcript)
The other day on the radio I heard someone talking about a writer, and he
said the tensions in life are very real because no one knows what's gonna
happen in the next three hours. And ya, that's how it is, when you don't
know what's gonna happen, what's to come, life is a delicious morsel...
Because you never know really what's gonna happen and in certain times of
your life things are up in the air than at other times. And when they are
you are living on the edge, your nerves are afraid or sometimes your are
being pushed too fast for what you can do and if you don't get it done you
wonder that then what, because you don't know,
Now these are the tensions of living. And this is what the world is for,
it
is a place filled with tension; why, because it's the nature of karma.
This
is a school room! It's a garden really, it's garden where everyone can
grow
spiritually according to his own lives or lights.
One thing about each of us here is we are all growing or unfolding, is
more
proper, at our own spiritual pace, and I'll even go so far as to say that
the holy spirit is directing each of your lives, each of our lives, and so
it will lead you... and it has led you to the very life and cir***stances
that you need, the cir***stances which are very good for you. You may not
think so, but they are very good for you. Maybe not materially,
emotionally, or mentally, but spiritually, they are very good for you.
And sometimes these tensions of living are most strong when people first
hear about Eckankar, and then they become a member. It seems that whenever
the decision comes that, it's got too many things that are standing in the
way, that make it very very hard for you to say; to Eckankar, yea
(...)
And it's very interesting because these tensions of living are all around
everywhere, every time; from visiting a car
mechanic to the dentist to a doctor to a child going to school and
wondering
what's going to happen in the school yard today.
Or sometimes worrying whether will my pet be ok? There are all these
things
that are constantly causing tensions to living and these tensions
gradually
they shape us and make us and bake us until we are done.
