Day 18
Living Unity
Today's Centering Thought:
“I celebrate my unity with all life, knowing we are all
one.”
Today’s Sanskrit mantra and its English essence are:
Tat Tvam Asi—I see the other in myself and myself
in others.
“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the
combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.”
~ Sun Tzu
In today’s meditation, we will explore unity as the
underlying truth of all that is.
As individuals, we look different from one another and have
different lifestyles, beliefs, and perceptions. However, these differences
exist only on the physical plane. At both the molecular and spiritual levels,
we are all one, connected by the universal source.
When we begin to fully understand this concept of living
unity, we replace the idea of the personal self with that of the universal
self. The notion of competition disappears and leaves in its wake only
co-operation. This connection fosters deep love and compassion for everyone and
everything around us.
Mindful Moment
Foster interconnectedness.
Be present and genuinely interested in the lives of others
when you speak with them today. In your conversations, give your undivided
attention and, if you see someone in need, offer your assistance. Fostering
these experiences will help you cultivate a deeper understanding of true
interconnectedness.
Reflection Questions :
How do you define unity?
How do you view diversity?
In what ways has meditation brought you closer to living
unity?
